Key Lime with Graham Cracker Gelato Recipe at Epicurious. Photo by Iain Bagwell yield Makes about 1 quart Tangy, tart, and refreshing, with a bit of graham cracker crunch—just like the pie. One of Ciao Bella's most popular recent flavor creations, this started as a seasonal offering for our chef customers and became wildly successful in our gelaterie. The popularity of Key Lime with Graham Cracker Gelato was a bit of a surprise because its flavor is decidedly tart, while Americans tend to have sweeter palates.

There's always a fine line between creating what chefs appreciate and what customers will like, but in this case everyone was happy. This flavor is so popular that in less than a year it became our number-one retail gelato flavor in New York City. Preparation Make the Plain Base and chill as directed. Gently whisk the lime juice and zest into the base. NOTE To crush graham crackers, place about 5 graham crackers in a large zip-top bag.

Except, “ruts” sounds like the bad kind of monotony, but I’m not sure that it is. There have been pasta phases, in which I was certain that any vegetable, chopped, lightly cooked plus parmesan plus penne made a perfect dinner.

I was on a homemade pizza bender for a year or maybe five. There was a galette fixation, that still rears its head once or twice a year. And currently, I’m struggling to find a single food that doesn’t taste better when it lands on toasts. Hear me out: Even the most poorly stocked kitchens — self, I’m looking at you and your shop-for-one-dish-at-a-time ethos — probably have bread, somewhere.

(Mine is in the freezer. Now, I know that leeks are planted in the fall and thus probably don’t count as a spring vegetable. . * Hat tip to Melissa Clark for unmuddling my confusion as to why post-season leeks are so freakin’ good. Leek Toasts with Blue Cheese Fill a large bowl with cold water. Meanwhile, heat a large, heavy skillet over medium. Buffalo Chicken Bites. It’s football season and I’m ready for some party food!

Let’s take a quick time out from baby food posts, shall we? We had friends over this week for Monday Night Football and I immediately knew I had to try these Buffalo Chicken Bites that I had bookmarked. I also knew that if they turned out as good as I thought after reading about them on Stephanie and Melissa’s blogs, then these were going to instantly become a favorite – or should I say a staple – for our football parties. And wouldn’t you know, I was definitely right on this intuition. One of the best things about this appetizer, is you can prepare these in the morning and keep them in the fridge until ready to bake. Or, make them days ahead and freeze them!

If you freeze them, just bake them for about 5 minutes longer. Stephanie, from Macaroni and Cheesecake, was brilliant for baking them instead of frying, which is the method I went with since they still end up crispy. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Mulberry and Rhubarb Crumb Cake. Vanilla roasted pears. I think this should be your new favorite way to show off. If your dinner parties are anything like mine, dessert arrives with more of a whimper than a bang.

Oh yes, that trifle looks lovely, that cheesecake is most certainly the bomb, most people are probably thinking, but I just crawled out of a vat of deeply braised short ribs and I’m gasping for air. Doctor, gimme an apple, stat! I forgot what fresh food looks like. Except, what was that you said about butter and sugar? Oohkay, sure, I’ll have a little bite. I spied this not even recipe, but dare I say, approach to pears last month in The Atlantic and I have eagerly awaited the magic moment of overlap between the Greenmarket’s pear loot, Jacob’s nap and the kind of overcast, stay-inside kind of day that makes you wish for a snowy backdrop. Oh, okay, second best.

Pears, previously: In a Winter Fruit Salad, Pear Crisps with Vanilla Brown Butter, Pear and Almond Tart and a Bittersweet Chocolate and Pear Cake And how it tastes? Classic grilled cheese + cream of tomato soup. I don’t know about you but when I arrived at work yesterday I had both the appearance and seething demeanor of a wet cat. I don’t know what exactly the point of carrying my green flowered umbrella was, if to get utterly soaked just the same, making my way through two phone calls irked by a lingering unpleasant zoo-like scent that turned out be emanating my sopping wool pants.

Yech! After work drink thing? Cancelled. Pedicure? Cancelled. It’s funny, you know, when I talk about these “classic homey foods,” these “best childhood memory meals,” as I must confess that they’re not mine. This time, Cook’s Illustrated crew was searching for “a perfectly smooth soup with rich color and great tomato flavor” and I enthusiastically applaud their efforts. Now, the grilled cheese would have been better had I followed the recipe more closely. Cream of Tomato Soup Adapted from The America’s Test Kitchen Cookbook 1. 2. 3.
