Moroccan lamb and fruit caseroleThis is as close as I will get to a tajine. I like to serve this with couscous. This is easily made ahead and cane be doubled to serve a crowd.MoussakaMoussaka is a traditional Greek eggplant casserole made with baked or pan fried eggplants (aubergines) and potatoes, a rich, tomatoey beef or lamb mince sauce and topped off with a deliciously creamy bechamel sauce. In other words, the ultimate comfort food.
I am still trying to recreate the one I had in Athens on my first night there, on a little restaurant rooftop terrace facing the Acropolis.Mushroom cappuccinoThis is flavourful and hearty, definitely more of a winter soup... Can be very elegant when served in pretty cups.Music sheet cake/July 2019A simple request. The only challenge were the staff on the score and the notes. I made them in melted chocolate on a piece of parchment paper and then transferred them to the cake. Several broke before I could get the Happy birthday score on there...and was still told by the birthday boy that I was missing signs (not being a musician, I had no idea)Mustard sauce for GravlaxMy chocolate sauceThis has been my go-to recipe for decades. It is very easy to memorize as everything is 1/3 of a cup except for the cocoa that is 1/2 cup. It is perfect with ice cream, pears belle Hélène and everything else that requires chocolate sauce.
