Amarena Cheesecake
The Amarena cherry is a small bitter dark colored Italian cherry grown in Bologna and Modena, Italy. It is usually bottled in syrup and used as a decoration on desserts.
These luscious and intensely flavorful amarena cherries can be used in place of any dish that requires ordinary candied cherries. You will find no end to using them. Use them for toppings, over pancakes, ice cream, dessert, champagne and even a glass of seltzer. My husband made this cheesecake recipe which came attached to the jar.

Pastéis de Nata (Portuguese Egg Tarts)
I was watching the Portugal episode of Somebody Feed Phil. I love Phil. Anyway, while eating his way through his trip he kept eating Pastéis de Nata, which is a specialty all over Portugal. They are little egg tarts with a cinnamon flavored custard nestled in a flaky puff pastry crust. I had to try them. There a very few Portugese Bakeries in Los Angeles, but I found Natas Pastries in Sherman Oaks. The beautiful tile covered walls made me feel like I was in Europe. We actually had a wonderful lunch there and then had these little custard tarts. Needless to say, I must go back VERY soon.

Vermouth Dressing
Some wine enthusiasts claim that the vinegar in salad dressing is detrimental to a glass of wine. As it is unthinkable to stop drinking wine during the salad course, the vinegar has to go. This Vermouth Dressing is savory, salty and tart. Personally, I never let anything get in the way of drinking wine with a meal and like nothing better than a salad with vinaigrette and a glass of wine.
