>Black Olive Tapenade | Cooking For One in Paris
This dish is for the olive lovers, and I know that’s not everyone. Mixed with anchovies, capers, and garlic, this tapenade creates a sharp and poignant flavor which can not be mistaken for anything else The mashed up olives create a creamy and rich paste which works very well in sandwiches with tomatoes or grilled turkey or chicken; you can just as easily serve it as a dip for guests, alongside some hummus or onion dip. So long as you have a food processor, this tapenade is a cinch to make.
I have to say, I’m pretty excited to provie this recipe for a sweet saffron pudding, called sholeh zard in farsi (translating loosely to yellow jello), which is absolutely divine and combines an interesting blend of flavors to produce a rich, satisfying, and wholesome dessert. What I find most interesting about this dish is that there’s not one or two key ingredients which make it a standout, but five. With an exciting blend of saffron, cardamom, rosewater, almonds, and pistachios, it’s hard to say which taste is most distinct. However, it’s clear that the stunning yellow color comes from the addition of saffron threads, which my mom likes grind to a powder, dissolve in hot water, and store in a jar in the fridge. If you’ve ever seen and opened a jar full of dissolved saffron, you’ll likely agree that the fiery orange color is fascinating and that its strong aroma is intoxicating.

Take a look at these cookies. Have you ever seen a more modest, unassuming cookie? Each one is slightly misshapen and a little crooked. Well, who cares what they look like. They are wafer-thin explosions of taste and spice and warmth, and as soon as the weather gets cold, they are what we bake.We were flipping through Dam Good Sweet , a new cookbook about New Orleans-style desserts, and stopped dead in our tracks when we saw this. So gorgeous! And a perfect alternative to pie for Thanksgiving.

Top row, left to right: Beyonce, Wilco; Second row: Thom Yorke of Radiohead, Sam Beam of Iron and Wine, Norah Jones; Bottom row: American Idol winner Kelly Clarkson, Billie Joe Armstrong of Green Day, Jay Z. It seemed like an impossible task, but that didn't stop us from trying. With the first decade of the new millennium coming to a close, we decided to compile a list of the 50 most important recordings of the past 10 years — a list that covers a wide range of styles and genres, with indelible songs and albums that challenge, inspire and captivate. These are the game-changers: records that signaled some sort of shift in the way music is made or sounds, or ones that were especially influential or historically significant. Favorite records don't necessarily qualify.

Recipe: Goat Cheese and Grape Galettes | Apartment Therapy The Kitchn
An overzealous grape-buying spree at the farmers' market last weekend led to the creation of this recipe. Autumn Royal, Flame, Crimson, Cabernet Sauvignon – all sweet and tart and wonderful, but after awhile we craved a change. And then we remembered how, when baked, the grape we think we know so well transforms into something plump and luscious and altogether new. This recipe is a riff on our old Fig and Lavender Goat Cheese Galettes .You can use this method to segment any kind of citrus. We love the jeweled look of clean-cut citrus wedges in the salads and side dishes we order at fancy restaurants. In culinary terms, these are called citrus "suprêmes" - a fancy name for a simple technique! This is one restaurant trick that's easy to reproduce at home. Here's how:

We've seen a lot of magnetic spice jars; they're quite the thing for small kitchens, right? But these jars are the cleverest and nicest we've seen lately. They don't come with a separate strip; they just stick to your fridge in rather lovely beehive pattern. We love how these rather look like a colorful beehive when clustered together, and we also love how the name of the spice or herb is stamped into the lid!
