Continuing on my classic Italian recipe exploration I discovered Malfatti, a true Italian comfort food. These spinach and ricotta ‘dumplings’ are soft and tender and practically melt in your mouth.

What better way to celebrate than with a refreshing summery cocktail. The Painkiller Cocktail is a twist on Piña Colada flavors with dark rum, pineapple, orange and coconut finished with freshly grated nutmeg on top. A classic Tiki Drink every mixologist should have in their playbook.

One of our favorite dishes enjoyed at Desta Ethiopian Kitchen was Miser. Red lentils stewed in a rich spicy berbere sauce with onion, garlic, and ginger. I set out to recreate this warm and flavorful dish from the ground up.

Here is my version of the Berbere spice blend (pronounced burr-burr-ee and meaning “hot”). I slightly adapted this recipe from Epicurious according to the spices I had on hand and reduced it by half.

Swedish Meatballs. Growing up, we enjoyed them every Christmas Eve as part of our annual holiday h’ordeuvres spread. I’m slowly recreating these recipes one by one. Some from memory and some that mom passed down to me. Sunday I pulled out this recipe card and took a stroll down memory lane.

Scotch Egg Sauce. ‘Scotch’ as in hard-cooked, not hard-liquor.

This sauce brought back memories. The first bite gave me a warm familiar feeling and I remembered creamed eggs over toast. A breakfast for dinner meal we ate as kids and apparently liked. Looking back, it may have been one of the easiest (and affordable) meals Mom could get on the table in a hurry. I’m sure she ‘sold’ it in such a way that made it a favorite. So many things I’d like to ask her.
