Posted by The Gourmet Goddess in Bread, Breakfast, Herbs, Lunch, Make Ahead, Parmesan, Spices, Vegetarian Option

≈ 3 Comments

Not a very sexy title, is that?  I was going to call it “The Tale of Two Coils” but, I decided a straight-forward, actual description was the way to go.  So here we are.  And it’s a pretty delicious place to be.  This is my basic, go to roll dough recipe, but with options!  Continue reading →

When autumn arrives, so do apples and pears.  In abundance.  Today, The Goddess is focusing on apples.  The varieties of older and new apples has positively exploded.  And that’s a delicious thing.  This salad is very close to a Waldorf Salad.  But, of course, The Goddess made a couple of changes.  This graces our Thanksgiving table almost every year.  Continue reading →

I think I’ve mentioned a couple of times (or twenty), that The Goddess has a fondness for eggplant.  The season is in full swing now, so you might imagine that eggplant is finding it’s way into, onto, around, under, etc. her table.  She’s been hasselbacking things recently, and why should eggplant escape her vision?

Grilled Eggplant Parmesan

Eggplant, mozzarella cheese, olive oil, panko crumbs, parmigiano reggiano cheese, pasta sauce, ricotta cheese

I love the idea of eggplant parmesan.  But, the problem for me has always been the breading.  It’s just too much.  It overpowers the flavor of the eggplant and I like that flavor.  So when I saw Grilled Eggplant Parmesan on the Food & Wine website, my light bulb lit right up!  Continue reading →

all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, black pepper, buttermilk, cheddar cheese, fresh herbs, olive oil, parmesan cheese

Okay, so this should really be called “Cheese-Herb” Quick Bread, because there’s way more cheese than herb.  But, I think the herbs are much more of a forward flavor, than the cheese…whatever you call it, doesn’t matter.  Just make it… Continue reading →

Steak with Bleu Cheese ButterYou know, The Goddess has mentioned now and then how much she enjoys condiments…Okay, she tends to go on bit about them.  And with good reason.  Compound or flavored butters are condiments, too.  And this is one of the best.  Continue reading →

Creamy Herb, Garlic and Lemon SpreadI love Boursin™ cheese, and I make a pretty decent facsimile, Almost Boursin Cheese Spread (Almost!) in a previous post.  So anyway, I was sitting, sipping and musing.  Goddesses do that sometimes.  You should try it.  The things one thinks up…and this was one of those things.  Continue reading →
