Vincent Price’s Cheese Delights
Although Vincent Price was most well known for his frightening horror movie roles in the 1950s, he and his wife were also serious cooks and gourmets, writing cookbooks on the side. This recipe was taken from their cookbook Come into the Kitchen (Stravon Educational Press, 1969).
Tortilla Soup and Red Tomato Salsa
This is a beautiful version of a classic dish, with a distinct clarity of flavor. Unlike many other renditions, this one is meatless, so the creamy white cubes of panela bob among the green avocado and cilantro in a red broth, lightly smoked with chipotle and brightened with lime. If you can, make your own […]
Sweet Potato, Chard, and Alpine Cheese Croquettes
Reminiscent of fried Spanish tapas, these patties have a crisp crust offset by a molten interior. They are inspired by a seasonal gratin of potato, pumpkin, greens, and Tarentaise with duck by Chef Brian Shaw at Fair Hill Inn, in Elkton. They pair equally well with white and red wines.
Stuffed Potatoes with Goat Cheese, Peppers, and Ham
For your next no-fuss brunch, try this hearty side dish that we adapted from the recipe files of French goat cheese maker Ile de France.
St. John’s Eccles Cakes with Lancashire Cheese
Fergus Henderson’s St. John is the restaurant that launched a thousand pig logos—and many imitators. Since it opened in 1994 in a whitewashed former smokehouse next to London’s wholesale meat market, St. John and Fergus Henderson have become much-copied gastronomic icons. It is easy to see why Henderson is held in such high regard by […]
Spicy Roasted Tomato Dip with Chèvre
Late-season tomatoes are dusted with hot smoked paprika to achieve a meaty quality that pairs well with Malbec. Serve this chunky dip with slices of good bread to soak up the unctuous stew of tomato and goat cheese, inspired by an appetizer of Baked Goat Cheese Served Warm with Spicy Tomato Sauce and Toasts from […]
Spiced Chicken Livers with Goat Cheese Grits, Sweet Onion Vinaigrette, and Chicory
This homey yet sophisticated dish is a beautiful contrast in textures and flavors. Gilmore recommends serving it for brunch, as a starter, or as a light dinner paired with hearty bread and, of course, good beer.
Mexican Quinoa Soup (Sopa de Quinoa)
This simple recipe from the grandmother of Zuleta chef Jose Maria Pumisacho shines due to the quality of its dairy ingredients: cream and milk just hours out of the dairy, freshly churned butter, eggs harvested daily from pastured chickens, and whatever cheese Pumisacho has on hand. In the absence of your own dairy cow, buy […]
Smoked Trout Dip with Chèvre
At his restaurant Willmann makes this recipe with house-smoked grouper collars and cheeks; we use smoked trout for convenience.
Sheep’s Milk Camembert, Speck, and Fresh Peach Crostini
Karen Weinberg, cheesemaker at 3-Corner Field Farm in Shushan, New York, makes a luscious sheep’s milk Camembert, Shushan Snow, that inspired this not-just-ham-and-cheese indulgence. Another fine New York producer of this style of cheese is Old Chatham Sheepherding Company, which produces the award-winning Nancy’s Hudson Valley Camembert.
