Zucchini and Pine Nut Fritters

September 29, 2017 By Angela Olson Matthews Leave a Comment · Print recipe ·

My favorite way to eat zucchini is in chocolate cake, but Zucchini and Pine Nut Fritters come in as my second favorite. The zucchini is grated raw, which preserves the fresh, green flavor. They are a lot like Potato Pancakes but with a softer interior, the fritters get their extra texture from the pine nuts…

Parmesan Crisps

September 8, 2017 By Angela Olson Matthews Leave a Comment · Print recipe ·

  The French approach to the aperitif hour is usually very simple. I took the same approach with this Parmesan Crisps recipe. There are only two ingredients in the recipe.

Guacamole

May 5, 2017 By Angela Olson Matthews 1 Comment · Print recipe ·

Strong, simple fresh flavors are the key to a really good Guacamole. I only use tomatoes as a garnish, so they do not water down the guacamole.

Duck Terrine with Apricots

January 6, 2017 By Angela Olson Matthews Leave a Comment · Print recipe ·

I bought a vintage Le Creuset Pate/Terrine pan at an antique store in Bath, Maine, perfect for Duck Terrine with Apricots. I loved it when I first saw it, but wanted to sleep on it. Since it was all I could think about the next day, I called the store and they mailed it to…

  Black Olive Salsa is a great impromptu salsa that only takes a few minutes to prepare. Because it is one of our favorite appetizers, I always try to keep the ingredients on hand. At Mead Meadow, this is lovingly known as “Dana’s Salsa”.  Our dear friend and neighbor, Dana, introduced us to this delicious appetizer….

  We have a tradition of going to Cape Cod every fall, it is kind of our version of the Big Chill weekend. I have made Kittery Clam Dip for so many years that I thought everyone would be tired of it by now. Not the case, I asked if I should bring something else and the…

Hummus

April 22, 2016 By Angela Olson Matthews Leave a Comment · Print recipe ·

  After buying hummus for years, I finally started making my own from scratch.   I will never buy hummus again!  It is so easy and so much better than store bought.  It tastes fresh and has a lot more texture.  I try to keep all of the ingredients on hand so I can make…
