This soup was a hit with the crowd and I liked it more than I thought I would. The soup requires a lot of ingredients and a bit of chopping but it was well worth the work. For the optional add-ins I included canned red beans, Greek yogurt, avocado, onion, red bell pepper, cheddar cheese,…

Miso-Maple-Jammed Sweet Potatoes
We haven’t had sweet potatoes in a very long time so these were extra yummy for us. The jam was delicious and soaked into the sweet potato nicely. We will be making this side dish again. I paired these with Ponzu chicken (page 112) since the ponzu sauce was in both recipes. No one liked…
Salted-Chocolate Hot Fudge Sundaes
Chocolate and ice cream are our two favorite desserts. This one went over very well with the crowd. I made the salted chocolate bits but I am not sure it was worth it. This is the second time I have made salted chocolate and it just isn’t necessary for me. The fudge sauce is of…
So-Good Miso Corn
This week on Cook the Book Fridays we are cooking with summer corn. I actually had all the ingredients for this one: miso, olive oil, butter, za’atar, salt, pepper and fresh basil. This one did not do it for us. Surprisingly, we didn’t taste much of the miso or za’atar and I even doubled the…
Blueberry-buttermilk Bundt Cake
With the heat of the summer, blueberries are in season every where so this was the perfect summer cake. It was painful to turn on my oven, we were having a heatwave in California, but I did it any way. I had most of the ingredients for this bundt cake but picked up fresh blueberries,…
Ginger-Beet Salad Bowls
This week on Cook the Books Fridays, we are diving into salads. This multi-component salad is more work than I would normally go into for a salad but it was well worth the effort. As others have mentioned the dressing was the star. My husband made the quinoa in the rice maker which worked really…
Lower East Side Brunch Tart
This week on Cook the Book Fridays we are celebrating one of our own with a dish she wanted to make, Lower East Side Brunch Tart. Chez Nana, aka Rosemarie DiDomenico, I ‘met’ in the group French Fridays with Dorie in which we were cooking from Around My French Table by Dorie Greenspan. She and…
Summer Vegetable Tian
On Cook the Book Fridays, we are baking up a Summer Vegetable Tian from Everyday Dorie. Packed with summer vegetables; tomatoes, zucchini, eggplant and in my case Graffati Eggplant and red onion. I managed to buy my vegetables of similar size except for the red onion. I thought this dish looked pretty before it went…
Three-Pepper Burgers
My burgers are two-pepper burgers as our grocery store did not have any peppadew peppers. I saw Mardi’s recommendation about finely chopping the peppers too late as my husband had already made them:) My husband cooked these on a skillet instead of the bbq which I think was the right move keeping them together. They…
Mixed Berry Pie
Dorie says “As soon as there are berries in the market, there’s pie in our house”. I went with that theme for this week’s baking assignment for Everyday Dorie. Berries went on sale at one of my markets for $1.98/6oz, I took that as a sign to make a pie. I did not use Dorie’s…
