Burrata and Apple Microgreens Salad

by

I love this salad! It’s like an explosion of summer in your mouth: soft, sweet cheese and crispy green apples, joined with honey and balsamic vinaigrette, topped with crunchy pine nuts and strengthened by the fragrant, earthy taste of microgreens.  I wonder if it’s possible for food to affect the equilibrium, because it made me a little dizzy when I first tasted it. All flavor sensors firing in exaltation can do that to a person! I take no credit for […]

It wasn’t intentional, but this has turned out to be classic American food week on America’s Table; first a steak sandwich, now pizza. What’s special about pizza? Its infinite variety, for starters.

Crown Rack Of Lamb With Coriander And Honey

by

If you’re looking for a main dish that will make a bountiful and impressive presentation for Easter Sunday, a crown rack of lamb is an elegant choice. I made a small one, because there’s just the two of us at home now, but you can buy larger racks of lamb, or use three racks instead of two to serve a bigger crowd. I’d never tried to make a rack of lamb before, and was a little intimidated about how to […]
