Delicious Fried Squash Blossoms with Fontina
Taking away the flowers of some plants makes them stronger and happier. Basil, for instance, will branch and provide you with much more pesto fodder if you ensure it never blooms. However, when we take away a zucchini blossom to stuff, fry, and eat, will it mean more zucchini to …

Leftover Eggplant Make a Savoury Caponata Tart
Recently, I shared my simple vegetable Napoleons with you as a side dish for the goat cheese-stuffed chicken. If you make it, you will probably end up in the same boat I did: lots of leftover parts — zucchini, yellow squash, eggplant, tomatoes. While that sounds like all the fixings …

Pan-Fried Salmon with Pine Nut Salsa
Throughout the holidays, we watched a lot of “feel good” movies. That is code for RomComs, chick flicks, Hallmark, Lifetime, and Disney fare… you get the idea. Whenever we get to this time of year, we put a moratorium on anything that might tax our brains, souls, or hearts. Nothing …

A Primer to Understanding Grenache Grapes
