http://easteuropeanfood.about.com/od/crossculturalmaincourses/r/stuffedkohlrabi.htm This recipe for stuffed kohlrabi is typical of Eastern Europeans' love of hiding food in other food. Kohlrabi is a favorite vegetable in Hungary, Lithuania, Poland, Russia and Ukraine. Some compare the flavor to radishes, but I think it's more cabbage-y. And when stuffed, as in this recipe, it's reminiscent of stuffed cabbage rolls.

Fried Green Tomatoes Recipe

Recipe and photo updated July 8, 2011 Ever since that wonderful movie with Jessica Tandy I’ve wondered about fried green tomatoes. People really eat green tomatoes? http://www.simplyrecipes.com/recipes/fried_green_tomatoes/
Combine the water, yeast, and 3 tablespoons of the sugar in the bowl of an upright mixer fitted with a dough hook. Stir and let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes. Gradually add 4 cups of the flour and the salt, and mix until the mixture comes together. Add 1 to 1 1/2 cups additional flour 1/2 cup at a time to make a stiff dough, either stirring with the wooden spoon or working with your hands. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and no longer sticky, about 5 minutes, adding just as much flour as needed. http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/emeril-lagasse/homemade-bagels-recipe/index.html

I realized something frightening over the weekend: I am so far behind on posting recipes we’ve auditioned over the last couple months, I could pretty much post every day for the next week and only just then begin to be almost caught up. So, I decided that I would. I am going to post every single day for the next week. And look, I know you’re thinking: that it’s unseemly hot out and you’re in all likelihood either on a vacation or counting down to one and you honestly couldn’t care less about turning on a stove right now–and well, sadly, me too.
http://www.davidlebovitz.com/2010/05/french-tomato-tart-recipe/ This week I saw the first promise of tomato season. A few brightly colored cherry specimens were brought home from the local market, as well as the more standard varieties. I was down in Gascony visiting my friend Kate Hill , and her photographer friend Tim Clinch was there preparing to lead a photography workshop. Looking for something tempting and colorful, tomatoes seemed the obvious choice as willing subjects.

French Tomato Tart

No Yeast Bread If you need, or want, to remove yeast from your diet, but can't stand the thought of giving up bread, this recipe gives you an alternative. The Irish gave us this one, out of necessity when yeast was unavailable to them, but I've made a couple of refinements. The vinegar is essential because baking soda requires an acidic component to do its work. You could also use buttermilk, or milk with 2 tsp of cider vinegar added.

Happy New Year! Every blogger who writes about saving money, eating healthy or just plain cooking tasty meals tells their readers to choose fruits and vegetables that are in season. I've had just one problem: I don't know what's 'in season.'

Let me just get this out of the way before I begin: I’m a little embarrassed by this meal. Not because it took 10 minutes to make, but because it came entirely from things that were already packaged and it tasted… well, not bad, but certainly not like I made any great effort. I bet you can’t wait to sign up, huh? So why I am telling you about it? Because we’ve all been there, haven’t we?

I like the simple things in life. Simple ingredients, simple techniques, maximum flavor. But I guess you know that by now. Especially when you hand me a recipe that doubles as an appetizer or side dish, you just reel me in. Stuffed zucchinis are so versatile. It creates an endless amount of possibilities because almost anything goes with the smooth and silky flavor (and texture) of the zucchinis.

Chicken Chimichangas Recipe

Chicken chimichangas require a little work but they are definitely worth it. I actually prefer these over the beef chimichangas . Tortillas are filled with a mixture, rolled, and then fried in oil.
