Recipe: Savory Blue Cornmeal Griddle Cakes

When Emma announced that she had been given some blue cornmeal last week, I gasped. The very same thing had just happened to me! Never one to let a coincidence go unexplored, I set to work finding t...

Recipe: Asparagus Spread and Prosciutto on Buttered Toast

This recipe came about as a result of asparagus fatigue. We love asparagus, and local ones are everywhere right now, but there are only so many things to do with them — roast, blanch, chop up into...

Easy Appetizer: Goat Cheese with Parsley and Lemon

Since Nora has let us all know that spring is high time for goat cheese, we thought we'd share a quick appetizer that frequently shows up at our dinner parties... ...

Recipe: Stuffed Artichokes

Remember when we contemplated the first meal cooked in our new apartment? Well, this was it. A little off-the-beaten-path for us, but it's an old family recipe that we'd been wanting to make......

Recipe: Grilled Potato, Gorgonzola and Prosciutto Pizza

A version of this post was originally sent to our email subscribers on April 17th. To sign up for our weekly email (not daily as the box indicates) sign up in the column to the left or click here. M...

Recipe: Nathalie Dupree's Hush Puppies

We just posted a great video about Hush Puppies, along with a similar story by Nathalie Dupree, known as the originator of the New Southern Cooking movement. Here, she shares her recipe for these lit...

Recipe: Cinnamon-Spiked Tomatoes

This is not a combination we would have thought of on our own. We recently enjoyed a cheese plate at a restaurant, where a hard goat cheese was paired with a tomato garnish. At first, we asked the ba...

Recipe: Cheddar Olives

When planning a cocktail party, we always make sure to have one "straight-from-freezer-to-oven" recipe, and we make extra. You can keep refilling the tray as long as you need to, and any leftovers st...

March Madness Recipe: Healthier Hot Wings

OK, everybody... Please note that the title says healthIER. We're not promising low-fat, cholesterol-free chicken wings here. But some of us are big basketball fans (of the Tar Heels, specifically) an...

Recipe: Baked Goat Milk Brie with Cranberry Sauce

Are you having an Oscars party tonight? Are you trying any of our hors d'oeuvres for the Oscars, like There Will Be Blood Orange Jelly Smiles or Juno's Pregnant Dates? Even if you're not having a p...

Party Recipe: Spicy Oven-Roasted Chickpeas

Did you know that a can of chickpeas and a little salt and spice can make a crunchy, terribly addictive snack? It's so easy! Here's how... ...

Oscars Party Recipe: Juno's Pregnant Dates

As much as we love awards shows - and dinner parties - we do not feel as though an Oscars gathering must have cutesy, movie-theme food. Don't even get us started on the possibilities with Ratatouill...

Recipe: Roasted Figs with Honey and Rosemary

Hardy varieties of figs are still available this time of year, but they may not be as sweet or full-bodied as the ones available in early autumn. We found a basket of organic figs from California la...

Recipe: Delicata Squash and Gruyere Dip

Squash often makes an appearance as a side dish or a vegetarian main dish, but rarely as an appetizer. And yet its smooth texture and bright color make it a great friend of the hors d'oeuvre buffet....

Recipe: D.I.Y. Baba Ghanoush

We get stuck on certain foods, every so often, and it's hard to tear ourselves away. Baba ghanoush, the Middle Eastern spread of roasted eggplant, is one of these things. We first made it a few week...

Recipe: Mini Lamb Burgers on Roasted Potato Rounds

It's the season for lamb, and this is one of our favorite ways to serve it. This is such a quick recipe, with seared, juicy patties served on golden rounds of potato like miniature burgers - and gre...

Recipe: Lentil and Yogurt Spread

Yet another Cupboard Challenge brought some really great recipes and ideas; we want to eat lentils every night this week! Lentil pancakes or fried patties were tempting, but ultimately we went with th...

Recipe: Steamed Pork Dumplings

Chinese dumplings (siu mai) like these are a dim sum favorite for good reason. These have a savory mix of pork, green cabbage, garlic, ginger and sesame oil inside, and they are surprisingly easy to m...

Recipe: Havarti, Parsley and Garlic Cheese Ball

I couldn't resist - here's one more cheese ball recipe for your winter entertaining. This one is lighter and fresher, with a sharp garlic taste and soft chunks of Havarti blended into cream chees...

Recipe: Blue Cheese and Rosemary Cheese Ball

It's not difficult to update the tired old cheese ball with fresher flavors and better cheese. In a continued answer to a question from a reader, here is one of my favorite party recipes. It riffs o...

Recipes & Inspiration: Cocktail Party Goodies

Were addicted to kitschy trays and dishes that are definitely not for everyday use. Since theres no sense in collecting stuff and leaving it in a drawer, and these dishes are perfect for appetizer...

Let's Do (Soup) Shots

Amuse-bouche meets Animal House in the soup shooter. Part shot, part flavorful intro to dinner, the soup shooter works as an exciting, alcohol free amuse-bouche. While serving an amuse-bouche course ...

Recipe: Crushed White Bean Spread with White Truffle Oil

I love making various dips and spreads to keep on hand for whenever I want a snack. Humus is simple to whip up but lately I've been into beans. This spread, which comes from famed chef Alfred Portal...

Recipe: Prosciutto Roasted Figs

I love hors d'oeuvres but most recipes for them are a bit too involved for the home cook. They require an unrealistic amount of preparation and have to be served right away and the ones that don't ar...

Recipe: Salsa Habaero

From Nora: My husband has a serious chile on his back. It's like one of those mythic, birth-of-a-comic-book-superhero stories. Years ago, in college, when we ordered Schezuan chicken, my roommate dare...
