Poached Pear Galette with Posy Salted Crust
Posy salt, we’ve been waiting for you! My initial thoughts for this blend were all cocktails and grilled savory snacks; but I wanted to explore the sweet possibilities to show how versatile this can be! Chocolate seemed like the simple route and with Sister Pie as our Cookbook of the Month-- a galette seemed like the right choice! This recipe has more steps than the ones I usually share but please trust the process as it all flows nicely.
French Toast with Posy Sugar
I’ve never been a fan of flowers, gifting or receiving, but floral sugar is certainly something I can get behind. All the smells, all the beautiful colors, no watering or responsibilities. This blend of hibiscus, rose, and lavender is so stunning- I just want to sprinkle it on everything. To start your morning on the right foot, I suggest a shimmer of Posy in your latte as you prepare this French Toast recipe. Simple, with a subtle touch of something special!
Pistachio Pesto
This recipe is from Stacy Adimano's Piatti: Plates and Platters for Sharing, Inspired by Italy. The books pages are packed with approachable recipes for small gatherings. It's cover features a tray of artichokes slathered with olive oil so enticing that we keep catching our selves day dreaming for al fresco lunches paired with a crisp white wine. For one member of our team, the book and this recipe in particular transported her back in time to her days living in Sicily where she first fell for pistachio pesto. Give it a try and let us know what you think!
Root Vegetable Tian from Open Kitchen
Root vegetables are a winter staple in my house. When the weather starts to cool, we always manage to have beets, parsnips, turnips, onions and potatoes kicking around the kitchen. My go to is roasted root vegetables as a simple main or hearty side, but when I flipped through Open Kitchen and saw this stunning tian, I knew it was time to step up my root veggie game. The end result was savory, easy to look at and perfect for pairing with a protein for dinner (or a fried egg for breakfast). Give this one a try. Chances are it'll become a new favorite.
Cava + Cranberry Pop
This year we're gifting our friends the perfect kick off for Christmas morning. It's bubbly, a little bit tart and of so festive!
Homemade Israeli Za'atar + Fennel Saffron Challah
This holiday season I wanted to make a recipe that might be featured in a traditional Jewish meal! Challah is a dense, slightly sweet egg bread that is braided and baked to a deep golden brown. It works beautifully on its own, with a swipe of butter, but also makes a delicious sandwich or batch of French toast.
Sauce Party! Curried Mustard Sauce, Cranberry Sauce, and Tzatziki Mayo
Let’s talk leftovers. With Thanksgiving behind us, chances are there’s some turkey in the fridge and plenty of sandwiches being made. Personally, I think turkey tastes best slathered in all sorts of flavorful spreads. Gravy on the big day, cranberry sauce for breakfast and maybe a curried mustard for snack time dipping. Really, the meat is just a vehicle for flavor packed sauces, spreads and dips.
Spiced Whiskey and Cider
This started out as an experiment. We had sweet cider in the fridge, an unopened bottle of Makers Mark in the bar and a Mulling Kit in the pantry. The cocktail pretty much made its self.
Masala Chai and Whiskey Tea Cake
I'm a big fan of tea cakes. They're quick to make, great to snack on and handy to have when friends pop over for a visit. Plus, they're an excuse for a quick mid-week bake! This one is fall inspired and pairs perfectly with Builder's Tea. In a pinch coffee will do, but there's nothing better than strong black tea (we recommend PG tips) and a slice of this spicy, sweet treat.
Masala Chai Dalgona Whipped Coffee
This is one of our favorite ways to use SKORDO Masala Chai Spice Blend. The cardamom, clove and pepper really shine through in contract with the instant coffee. Dalgona coffee was a summer star we’re planning on enjoying well into fall!
Apple Coffee Cake
This apple cake recipe is actually a blueberry cake recipe that’s been reworked. It’s a family favorite and nobody knows the exact origins, but there’s rumor of a very stained/browned newspaper clipping tucked into a homemade recipe book in my grandmother’s kitchen.
Togarashi Pickles
These quick pickles are great on any steam bun sandwich and one of my favorite additives to rice bowls. They also pair well with SKORDO Korean Barbecue chicken wings!
