Preserved Lemons
If you live in Southern California, it is a crime to not have a lemon tree. I mean this literally – trucks of inspectors drive around checking people’s yards out. I was outside my front door one day and the local county fruit inspector stopped by to check. I passed inspection. Whew – I won’t…

Roasted Tomato and Preserved Lemon Pesto
OK, I’ll admit that this one’s a bit of a “chef-y” sort of recipe. But everyone has had Bruschetta in about a million ways and this one is a fun take on the idea. Plus, it’s really not hard to make.

Cast Iron Pizza
This recipe was delivered to my neighbors in March 2020. Yep, a COVID Cast Iron Pizza. You see, I have wonderful neighbors, and am lucky to have a neighborhood Italian Deli (which my daughter grew up eating school sandwiches from).
