I was visiting the Equal Opportunity Kitchen the other day when I came across this recipe for stuffed turkey scallopini. It sounded sooo good I simply had to try it. Giz, one of the blog’s co-authors, so adeptly explains the preparation of this dish, and this is only enhanced with some really great photos of [...]

My fascination and appreciation of Chef John’s cooking and his website continues to unfold and grow. I just tried another one of his video recipes tonight, and the fans cried out for more!
Sausage and egg pizza brings pizza to a whole new level. Beyond ordinary, it’s extraordinarily good. And even with my own tailored dairy-free modifications, I [...]

Here are a couple more tasty treats that I made from Dolce Italiano, Gina de Palma’s dessert book that is simply extraordinary. Each recipe has been unique and awesome so far, and I look forward to exploring all of them.
Here is her Grappa Soaked Sponge Cake. I had no grappa, so I used brandy, and [...]

Chef John has done it again - another great little recipe that is a real pleaser. He makes great use of a seasonal vegetable that’s in all the markets right now, and one that I love - asparagus. Coupled with chicken, noodles and a tasty sauce, this dish makes a pretty presentation, feeds a gangful, [...]

I love my new Dolce Italiano cookbook by Gina DePalma. She is the dessert chef at Babbo’s restaurant in NYC, owned and operated by Iron Chef Mario Batali. I’ve already made 3 of her recipes, and they are all sensational. I belong to a Sunday cook club on a travel forum, and this was what [...]

I forgot to post this during Passover, but it’s a keeper for next year! I adapted this recipe from its original, created by Gina de Palma in her fabulous dessert cookbook, Dolce Italiano, which called for 2 cups of all-purpose flour; instead I used 1 cup of matzah cakemeal and 3/4 cup of potato starch. I [...]

This Passover I tried my hand at Marcy Goldman’s chocolate-covered toffee matzo that is presently the rage on some of my favorite food blogs. This recipe is not only easy to make; it really takes Passover desserts up to the next level. The outstanding level. Make some today, but be warned - try and eat just one piece. Cannot.Be.Done. I have made [...]

Macaroons are a staple at every Passover seder - a chewy or crisp cookie made with no flour at all. The ones shown here are made from ground almonds, and only have 4 ingredients! Easy to make with a food processor, these macaroons bake up in a flash, and are crisp on the outside with a [...]

With the Passover festivities in full swing, it seemed only fitting that a cheesecake be served for one of our desserts. This one uses my patented soy cheesecake recipe, but with a twist on the crust and the topping. I made a flour-free crust (recipe to follow), and then I purchased those delicious-looking strawberries that you can find [...]
