Rosemary Apple Cake
I woke up one morning and decided I needed to make an Apple Rosemary Cake. This is peak apple season. I love getting different varieties of apples. The combination of rosemary and apple really works in this very simple cake. It gets topped off with a rosemary syrup.

French Onion Gnocchi Casserole
I came across this French Onion Gnocchi Casserole and was intrigued. It was really delicious, though it would have helped if it were really cold outside (not a remote possibility in Los Angeles at the moment!) and you were REALLY hungry. It's not exactly a "light" meal, but if you're looking for comfort food, this is it!

Hasselback Yams with Butter and Sage
I am a big fan of Hasselback potatoes, mainly because it cuts the cooking time. People will try to Hasselback just about anything, your best bet is russets or yams. Here's a tip: set the potato between two wooden chopsticks or wooden spoons before you start slicing. The sticks will stop the knife from cutting all the way through. These Hasselback Yams with Butter and Sage are a wonderful combination of flavors.

Hasselback Russet Potato Gratin
Hasselback potatoes are a recipe developed at one of Stockholm's popular old Restaurant Hasselbacken. You normally make thin slices in the potatoes but not all the way through. This recipe for Hasselback Russet Potato Gratin uses potatoes that you slice all the way through. They're made with whole grain mustard, heavy cream, dill seed, cheddar cheese and topped with fresh dill. YUM!
You can play around with the way you place the potatoes in this gratin: back and forth in rows, concentric circles, or randomly. Any way you choose will result in the same crunchy, cheesy top.
- Yields: 6 - 8 Servings
Risotto Cakes
I have never been a fan of leftovers, they end up as a "science experiment" in the back of the fridge. However, I do like to turn leftovers into a completely new dish. These Risotto Cakes are a perfect example. Served over a bed of dressed greens and topped with gorgonzola, they make a great lunch or starter.
You can also make Arancini, which are the epitome of southern Italian street food, they are stuffed with mozzarella, dredged in breadcrumbs, and deep-fried. They are great as an hors d'oeuvres dipped in marinara sauce.
