Parmesan Cheese Biscuits
When my husband and I lived in London, our eccentric friend Sandra introduced us to these Parmesan Cheese Biscuits. They are very easy to make and unusual. I use mini cookie cutters and cut them into shapes – usually pigs or Scottie dogs. Unfortunately, couldn't find fun shapes for this batch. These would go well with any cocktail.

Gourgères
Gourgères is a baked savory choux pastry made of choux dough mixed with cheese. Basically, they are cheese puffs. My daughter Zoe, went to a book signing for this new book by Rebekah Peppler, Apéritif, Cocktail Hour the French Way. She says the French have perfected the casual, pre-dinner practice of drinks and snacks. I thought Eric and I had perfected that! Anyway, it's a wonderful book and the cheese puffs are great for any party.

Dutch Oven Bread
I made this Dutch Oven Bread in my Lodge cast iron pan. Making crispy, crusty, golden loaves of bread at home has never been easier. It all starts with bread baking in a Dutch oven (heavy lidded pot). It's the perfect vessel for making artisanal style bread.

Spinach and Gorgonzola-Stuffed Potatoes
These Spinach and Gorgonzola-Stuffed Potatoes is a recipe from Yotam Ottolenghi's new cookbook, Simple, A Cookbook which came out last week. There are so many recipes in this book that I need to make soon. This was dinner for 2. What could be better than a twice baked potato, especially when it has spinach, gorgonzola and walnuts?!

Sausage with Cranberry, Sage and Orange Zest Pinwheels
One of my favorite things to do is to develop recipes. I am always trying to add more hors d'oeuvres to my repertoire. I wasn't sure how these Sausage with Cranberry, Sage and Orange Zest Pinwheels would turn out. The combination of cranberries, sage and orange zest really works well with the sausage. They got rave reviews and are perfect for holiday parties.

Brussels Sprout and Gruyère Gratin
This Brussels Sprout and Gruyère Gratin makes an incredible side dish for your holiday table. I actually cut the recipe in half just to test it, but do not cut the cheese sauce in half! That is the chef's prerogative!
