The clafoutis turned out nicely and not too sweet. Next time I will seed the cherries, but leave them whole instead of cutting them in half, and use two brimming cupfuls - definitely room for more cherries in this dish.

Almost the end of cherry season! One more Cherry Clafoutis in process for desert tonight.

More summer farewell dishes for the end of tomato season! Probably the best tomato soup I've made yet: roasted all those goodies on a sheet pan for about 35 minutes on 400 (see AltText), dropped them in a soup pot with a 28 oz can of peeled Italian tomatoes, 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes, and a cup of water. Simmered for about 45 minutes, cooled, and then pureed into roasted tomato heaven in a bowl.

...and some grilled tuna with fresh Mexican salsa, and cucumber-radish salad on the side. Great side kick to the Rajas con Crema.

Fresh brewed coffee is being served. It's Monday morning - time for a coffee break! Join me in the break room for some just-out-of-the-oven SIX OUNCE peanut butter cookies, loaded with Reese's pieces and peanut butter chips baked in the style of the Levain Bakery in New York City.

Someone landscaped the lasagne again! 🤣

It's what's for dinner: Gâteau invisible aux courgettes ("Invisible Zucchini Cake") made gluten free, some brined pork chops (with spices & muscovado sugar) and a little salad on the side.

Growing tomatoes in the south isn't for sissies. Our weather is really uncooperative - heat and humidity are brutal. In any event, there will be much more of THIS in the days and weeks to come if we are lucky: Tomato Galette on a ricotta-dill base with mozzarella pearls dotted over the top before baking.

I was going to make savory waffles for dinner, but somehow things took a turn and we ended up with bacon-cheddar pancakes on a bed of mixed, sautéed greens with lemon zest, kalamata olives and feta cheese. The batter seemed too thick for waffles which is likely because I failed to follow the recipe directions.

I am a lazy baker, but I love focaccia... so I use frozen bread dough with remarkably tasty results.

Slow-roasted chicken that can be done in the oven or a slow-cooker. I'll often put this together before heading out to work, and the house smells heavenly when I walk in the door: 6 boneless/skinless chicken thighs, a couple Tbsp each Dijon and mustard grains, 2 Tbsp dark honey, 1 tsp each coriander, paprika, cumin, turmeric, S&P, baked on very low heat for several hours.

No charcuterie is complete without hedgehogs, am I right?

Yes, it's me again, playing with food: my favorite Paul Bocuse Mac & Cheese using Perciatelli pasta... and of course another gardenscape to top it off because I just can't resist bringing garden design to the kitchen table.

Mise en place: wild rice ingredients with thyme and fennel using spice labels I had to design myself because there just isn't anything else out there that I find adequate for an international kitchen home chef. Served with a paprika pork chop and leek-broccoli soup.

A ricotta-asparagus tart (I mixed some goat cheese with the ricotta, but feta is good too) with puff pastry and a little rack of lamb, medium rare, thank you very much. It doesn't take a whole lot of effort to make a nice little dinner at home. Happy Friday. Cheers!🍷

Easy sheet pan asparagus: lay asparagus in a single row on parchment paper, cut the cherry tomatoes in half and drop them in the end zone. Bake at 400 for 10-12 minutes, remove and add some mozzarella cheese, then pop back into the oven til the cheese is golden. Serve with basil chiffonade and kalamata olives.

This is my favorite holiday tart. I've made it for Thanksgiving and Christmas: Cranberry Curd with a Gingersnap Cookie Crust from Washington Post. Not too sweet and the pretty "jewels" around the edges are just like pairing earrings with a beautiful gown - the final flourish! Silver fluted plate is Annie Glass, Santa Cruz, CA.

Mise en place. Condiments to be served with lemongrass-ginger and coconut-chicken curry. One of my favorite winter meals and fun to serve to guests. Included here is a fresh coriander-mint chutney and a lemongrass-ginger paste which can be added to individual bowls according to taste.

We had family visiting this Christmas - first time in SO LONG! So I did a LOT of cooking and it was a blast. Here's our Christmas Day charcuterie nibbles shaped like a wreath.

Crespelle in Brodo (Crêpes in Broth) is another holiday tradition around here. The broth is made from a slow-cooked organic chicken, then boned. Homemade crepes are filled and rolled with grated Parmigiano Reggiano (I also add some shredded chicken) and served in a bowl of piping hot broth.

I'm not sure how to find foodies and avid home cooks here on Mastodon, so I'm just going to throw this out into the void.

One of my Thanksgiving dishes this year is a Pommes Anna made with sweet potatoes and layered with prunes soaked in Tawny Port - a recipe I found from #Food52 but I used the detailed tips by #SeriousEats to figure out how to cook and flip this amazing side dish.
