Tunisian Lamb-and-Eggplant Stew with Farro, Parsley, & Harissa

Blossom Lady

Mar 07, 2025 02:55 PM

We had a dinner party recently, with a few friends. I’m so happy we’ve entered the dinner party stage of our lives. What a lovely thing, to sit with friends around a table full of home-cooked food, to drink good wine and talk for hours. I served this Tunisian lamb stew, and I loved it so much that I made it again a week later to share here. The second time making this lamb stew, when I wasn’t also trying to make a Streusel Cake and a fancy Kale Caesar Salad and put out appetizers, this was actually relat...

Glazed Coconut Bundt Cake

Blossom Lady

Mar 07, 2025 02:46 PM

A simple coconut cake with a sweet glaze and wonderful flavor. It's straightforward to make, keeps well for a few days and can be frozen. We especially love it for Easter, Mother's Day and Spring brunches. Sometimes, you only need a good slice of coconut cake with a cup of tea or coffee. Classic comfort in every bite. This is a simple recipe, both the batter and the glaze. There are no bells and whistles, except a beautiful crumb and coconut flavor. It can be made in a bundt pan (my favorite)...

Roast Cauliflower and Chickpea Salad

Blossom Lady

Mar 07, 2025 01:50 PM

I’m a big fan of Diana Henry – I have four of her books, all of which are in heavy use in my kitchen. I love her books first and foremost because she is a whiz with flavors, and I love her food, period. But I also love that all the books have the same clean, appealing design and colorful, casual photography. The books are inviting – they remind me what it is I love about food. The first recipe I made is an adaptation of Diana’s Roast Cauliflower with Pomegranates, Green Olives, and Chickpea Puree. I...

Chocolate Chess Pie

Blossom Lady

Mar 07, 2025 01:42 PM

There's something magical about cutting this chocolate pie, with its crackly top and rich, fudgy filling. What makes it so special is how accessible it is: no fancy equipment or hard-to-find ingredients are needed. Magic Chocolate Pie. It's sometimes called that because of the contrast of the shattering top layer giving way to an irresistibly gooey chocolate fudge filling. Thanks to a mix of cocoa powder and melted chocolate, the flavor is sweet but intense. We like it warm with a scoop of vanill...

Sun-Dried Tomato Pasta with White Wine Cream Sauce

Blossom Lady

Mar 07, 2025 01:34 PM

This pasta recipe with creamy sun-dried tomato sauce and leafy greens cooks in just 15 minutes, but has the soul and flavor of an old-school Italian dish — a combination of richness, acidity, and sweetness in every forkful. Starting with a base of sautéed onions, garlic, and thyme, the creamy sauce simmers with a splash of white wine until thickened. Sun-dried tomatoes add depth to the sauce that fresh tomatoes just can’t match! I know that sun-dried tomatoes are seen as retro, but I’m over it! Afte...

Welsh Cakes

Blossom Lady

Mar 07, 2025 01:28 PM

A delicious and authentic recipe for Welsh Cakes which are gently spiced and filled with raisins for sweetness. These Welsh Cakes are lovely served warm with some butter and jam, or simply with a sprinkle of sugar. The next time you think about making scones, perhaps you might like to try your hand at these Welsh Cakes. Both recipes require more or less the same ingredients but, with Welsh Cakes, you make something more like a shortcrust pastry which is then pan-fried on the stove. The texture is some...

Salmon en Papillote with Dill Butter

Blossom Lady

Mar 07, 2025 12:05 PM

March is a hard month for cooking. It feels like it should be spring – we’re so ready for the sunshine and for green to return to the trees! And, perhaps more pressing, we are ready for winter to be over. By extension, March is a hard month for food blogging. There’s no local produce to inspire, no major food holidays. Just a craving for summer mixed with the reality of winter It’s a transitional eating period, but instead of the abundance of September and October, we’re left with the dregs of the root c...

This hearty, soul-satisfying warm cauliflower salad is loaded with roasted chickpeas, baby arugula, fresh herbs, feta, and nutty farro, all tossed in a lightly sweet honey-lemon tahini dressing. With its vibrant flavors and crisp-tender textures, it’s a dinner-salad to crave! Roasting cauliflower is my favorite way to cook it — the high heat of the oven brings out the natural sweetness of cauliflower, giving it a nutty, smoky flavor. The bonus is that the golden, nutty florets make a fantastic salad...
