Peppermint Patties
We recommend tempering the chocolate used for coating the patties, as it will result in glossier, firmer shells. Experiment with your favorite cookie cutters to create original patty shapes.
Jalapeño Lime Vinaigrette
At the restaurant this versatile vinaigrette spices up specials such as grilled swordfish with corn salsa. We loved it on a jícama and carrot salad.

Goat Cheese and Pistachio Spread
Can be prepared in 45 minutes or less but requires additional unattended time.
Smorgastarta
(Savory Sandwich Torte)
A variety of fillings can be used in this savory sandwich torte, often served on special occasions in Sweden.
Buttermilk Cupcakes with Two Frostings
If making these cupcakes for a large crowd, do not double the recipe but make multiple batches.
Creamy Tofu, Scallop, Cucumber, and Dill Chowder
The tofu in this chowder provides a richness surprisingly similar to that of cream but without the fat and cholesterol. Your guests will never know the difference; our tasters didn't.
