Roasted Cauliflower & Delicata Squash

Posted by ceilmary  

Haven't made it yet, but tasted it at Wegman's in a demonstration. Wonderful nutty flavor, different from butternut squash or other varieties. Too subtle to be a veggie main course, but excellent as a condiment or side dish. Really easy and... — Gandalf The White Nov 18, 2009

Getting peychaud's bitters is harder in Pennsylvania than it is in New Orleans, but it's worth the effort and cost (hint: amazon.com!). Easy to make, wonderful tasting and fabulous looking cocktail. Yes, you should limit yourself, unless you want... — Gandalf The White Jul 15, 2009

Garlic Aioli

Posted by Dawnab  

In Paris, I was introduced to the cooking of the Southwest, which makes a fish stew (bouride) traditionally served with aioli. This isn't quite as galicky as the one served in the restaurant, but otherwise has that wonderful flavor and consistency... — Gandalf The White Jun 26, 2009

Almond-Crusted Catalan Chicken

Cucumber Cilantro Pasta Salad

Posted by BakinBaby  

I've loved cucumber and tomato salads for a while ... very refreshing. What makes this dish unusual is the addition of pasta and a citrus-based dressing, almost making this a "pasta salsa verde a la Caribe". No cooking, great colors, great... — Gandalf The White Jun 12, 2009
