Blood Orange Spread

May 13, 2018 By Angela Olson Matthews Leave a Comment · Print recipe ·

Sara made a Mandarin Orange Spread, but I choose to use Blood Oranges since they are in season right now, and they are delicious and so beautiful. I, like Sara, peeled every white string from the oranges before separating the…

Black Bean Soup with Cumin

April 7, 2018 By Angela Olson Matthews Leave a Comment · Print recipe ·

This Black Bean Soup with Cumin is a combination of two of my favorite recipes. You can add additional jalapeño peppers if you would like a spicier soup. I cooked the cumin in a skillet before I added it to the beans to release the flavor. I do that a lot whenever I use dried spices….

Lemon Mousse

  I made this Lemon Mousse for friends after a PEI mussel meal (See Mussels with Chorizo recipe). I wanted something fresh and light. This was perfect! I have served it in individual martini glasses as well as a soufflé dish, both worked equally as well. In fact, we liked it so much that when…

Gingersnaps

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…

A dear friend recommended this cookbook to me, it is “A French Approach on Southern Cooking”. I made these for a French meal that we…
