Actually, two of my favourite dinners. My apologises if you feel I've made only carb-laiden and sugar-generous foods lately – which, now that I think about it, is nothing to complain about – but I'll now present you with not only a tomato tart, but also a zucchini tart. In truth, these two tarts are a result of Lent. In such a situation, there's not much for a girl to do, I think, but seek refuge in the vegetable market. But back to my tomato tart. I first ate it three years ago in – surprise, surprise – la belle France, at the home of one of my ex-boyfriend's mother's friend. Until, that is, a week ago, when I was googling the mighty Internet, and stumbled upon a tomato tart. Oh, and I mustn't forget the zucchini tart. Arugula, Pear and Bacon Pizza with Honey Poppy Seed Sauce. I am so thankful it’s spring, but man did winter ever go out with a bang!

While the Northeast experienced abnormally warm weather, Arizona got snow! Meanwhile, the last day of winter here in Texas was a scary one for most! The day started beautifully, with bright sun and warm weather. I was especially excited for the light coming through my window which allowed me to photograph this spring inspired pizza. As the day went on, it became colder and the sky slowly turned black. During the last tornado threat, Greg and I were driving home from a camping trip completely oblivious to the danger we were entering. So on Monday, when Greg had to leave for school, I packed a bag and went with him. When we finally got home I was so thankful for this leftover pizza! This is my new favorite pizza.

I didn't want to throw them away so I decided to make an experiment. I wanted to mix sweet and salty. The dough had sugar in it and was lightly sweet. So I remembered how much I like salty caramel and decided to make something like that - salty sweet, only without caramel. What about... sweet pizza? Oh yes! 1 egg white 1 teaspoon dried basil pinch black pepper pinch salt pinch nutmeg 1 teaspoon chopped garlic 1 teaspoon dijon mustard 1 teaspoon tomato sauce coriander, to sprinkle 20g cheese, grated Roll the dough into a 2-3 mm thick rectangle and cut into 4x4cm squares.

Recipe for gluten-free polenta mini pizzas. Grazing. I love the concept of grazing, eating small bites of this and that, teasing my palate with salty, then sweet, then spicy, rather than one large dish. That's the theory behind tapas, the wonderful little dishes of Spain. As an appetizer or part of a grazing menu, or even a small lunch with a green salad, these polenta mini pizzas would be perfect. You can top the pizzas with absolutely anything -- bits of leftovers from the fridge, smoked salmon or proscuitto or sausage, vegetables from the garden, any type of cheese -- and you can make them ahead and reheat just before serving.

Thai Chicken Pizza. While my favorite cuisine has always been Mexican, Thai is coming in at a very, very close second. On any given day, I am craving something with peanut sauce, a giant bowl of pineapple curry, summer rolls with sweet, syrupy chili flavor and pad thai … oh pad thai. Who would have thought that combining chicken or shrimp, peanuts, sweet sauces and bright cilantro would taste so utterly fantastic? Not I. So when we ate Thai chicken pizza out a few weeks ago, I went on a mission to recreate it at home.

After a quick glance, I knew this recipe from TK member Dax Phillips was just the ticket. To make the pizza, you need one batch of your favorite pizza dough, peanuts, fresh cilantro and basil, zucchini, one shallot, mozzarella cheese, sweet chili sauce, shredded chicken and crushed red pepper. To begin, flour your workspace and shape your pizza dough into the desired circle, rectangle, or goofy blob. Slice your zucchini and your shallot. I also grated my mozzarella at this point. And enjoy!
