This is a terrific lunch or first course. I serve it as is, or smeared on crackers or toasts. It’s delicious, light, and has a lovely texture; sort of silky on the tongue. If you like sushi, you’ll love this mixture. Continue reading

Compound butter, which simply put, is butter with stuff added to it. The great thing about them, is they can and should be made ahead, chilled and/or frozen, so you have them on hand. The Goddess is all about having things on hand to work with and make her life easier. These little nuggets of saucy goodness offer huge flavor and versatility. It’s simplicity at its very best.
