Here’s one way to get kids to eat their vegetables, so long as they don’t have peanut allergies – cook them in a spicy sauce made from peanut butter and add a garnish of chopped roasted peanuts. All you need to add is some steaming rice or brown rice noodles.
There is no cream in this delicious soup – unless you decide to drizzle a bit over individual servings as a finishing touch. The creaminess is achieved with the addition of potatoes, which are puréed into the soup, providing it with a velvety texture.
Here’s a hearty vegetable soup that’s the perfect antidote to a blustery day. The addition of miso adds robustness and a hint of complexity that is often lacking in simple vegetable soups. Serve this with your favorite sandwich for a delicious soup and sandwich meal.
This is a versatile recipe, delicious as a dip with raw vegetables or on pita triangles, as well as a sandwich spread on crusty French bread. It also makes a wonderful addition to a mezes or tapas-style meal. Although it is tasty warm, the flavor dramatically improves
if it is thoroughly chilled before serving.
This is a rich and delicious cheesecake. The gingersnap crust and pumpkin-flavored base accented with chocolate is an irresistible combination.
Make ahead
This cake is best made a day ahead and allowed
to chill in the refrigerator overnight.
This recipe is an adaptation of one that appeared in Gourmet magazine. It’s an absolutely mouth-watering dessert for late summer when these luscious fruits are
at their peak. The advantage to making it in the slow cooker, rather than in the oven, is that you
can be doing other things while it cooks to perfection.
This delicious combination is a great cold-weather dish. Add the chiles
if you prefer a little spice and accompany with warm Indian bread, such as naan,
and hot white rice. The Egg and Lentil Curry (see Variation, below) is a great dish
for a buffet table
or as part of an Indian-themed meal.
