Frozen Lemon Pudding

I have been on a Mad Men kick ever since I randomly caught one of the episodes on AMC. The dashing Don Draper with his dark secrets, immaculate suits, and gritty manners that he smoothes over with well-placed words inspired me to create a dish in his honor.

Blueberry Snow Cone

Food is becoming fashion, with all its trends, styles, and what’s hot and what’s not. The year of the ‘whoppie pie’ is coming to a close and now it seems that ‘gourmet’ snow cones are the latest in cool.

Delicious Yogurt Panna Cotta

These bright orange berries, each about the size of a marble, caught my eye in my local grocery store the other day. Often I like the challenge of creating a recipe around a single ingredient that I don’t use very often, and the color of these were irresistible.

Versatile Crepes

When I was hosting my cookbook party launch a few weeks ago, my ‘top chef’ challenge was to turn several of my meat-centric recipes from the book into super flavorful, bite sized appetizers that would wow my vegetarian guests who are also serious food lovers. The result? Whole wheat crepes with delicious fillings!

Getting More Grapefruit

It’s easy to make healthy eats taste great when you cook with seasonal ingredients. Grapefruit is a wonderful example, and you’re in luck because it’s in season right now. Why not try my Grapefruit Bellini or Teriyaki Salmon Skewers?

Orange Sherbet

This healthy version of orange sherbet reminds me of the ‘push-up’ pops I used to have as a kid that were filled with creamy sherbet, refreshingly cool during the hot summer months.
