Christmas

Maple Panna Cotta

December 5, 2014

The best panna cotta that I’ve ever had was in Venice. Thick and creamy, but not too heavy. Here’s a holiday twist on an Italian classic, which I call an ode to wonderful maple syrup. 

Classic Christmas Eggnog

Serve your holiday guests this rich and creamy eggnog made from scratch. For grownups, feel free to add brandy, bourbon or rum. Hey, it’s holiday time so live it up!

Holiday Red Velvet Cake

December 3, 2014

The holidays deserve a special cake and Red Velvet Cake certainly delivers. The one complaint I do have about this cake is the use of food coloring. I always make sure to use an vegetable based food coloring like India Tree that you can get on Amazon, Sur La Table, or your natural food market. 

 

Oysters On The Half Shell

November 30, 2014

Use only oysters with tightly closed shells; throw away any that are open. Due to potential health risks, pregnant women, babies, young children, the elderly, or anyone whose health has been compromised should not eat raw seafood.

Butternut Squash Purée

November 25, 2014

Butternut Squash Purée is a delicious side dish for your holiday table. It’s so good, however, you’ll want to keep making it throughout the winter months. Warm up your holiday spread with this Tiny New York Kitchen favorite.  

Brioche Stuffing With Sausage & Sage

November 25, 2014

The first time I had brioche was when I lived in France in the mid-80s. Subsequently, brioche has become one of my all time favorite breads. Quite honestly, I don’t know what could be better than brioche, sausage, and sage combined into a stuffing. I typically am not really into dried fruit in my stuffing, but if you are then add 1/2 cup dried cherries or cranberries.

 

Balsamic & Parmesan Roasted Cauliflower

November 24, 2014

I’m always looking for simple holiday side dishes that will please nearly every guest. If you are not a fan of cauliflower then feel free to substitute Brussels sprouts for the cauliflower. Either vegetable works well.
