Parmesan Crusted Potatoes
I made these Parmesan Crusted Potatoes for dinner. I actually put them in the oven for about 25 minutes before dinner, then I put them back in right before serving. They are really good and easy to make.

Toasted Brie & Mushroom Open Faced Sandwich
I had this wonderful Toasted Brie & Mushroom Open Faced Sandwich at The Little Flower Candy Company in Pasadena, CA. I don't think of using lemon with mushrooms, but it really works to add a brightness to the dish.
This is what is says on the menu:
garlic mushrooms and brie toasted and served open faced on baguette with fresh thyme and lemon zest

Gruyère Cheese and Chive Soufflé
I have literally made this Gruyère Cheese and Chive Soufflé hundreds of times, especially when we were first married. It’s cheap and cheerful, as the Brits would say. I love making things that don’t cost much, but have an air of elegance.

Prosciutto Ring
There was this Italian bakery on Bleecker Street in New York city called Zito's that sold this prosciutto bread that was to die for. We would buy it and eat the entire loaf, usually with a bottle of wine (after office hours, of course). For some reason, I thought of it the other day and called up my friend and ex boss to ask her what the name of the bakery was. I could not remember it. Unfortunately, Zito's went out of business. I trolled around the internet and found this recipe, which is as close as you're ever going to get to the real thing.

Cheesy Chutney Dip
Cheesy Chutney Dip makes a great appetizer. While living in England, one of my favorite sandwiches for lunch was simply cheese and chutney, which you could buy in almost every market. Boots Dispensing Chemist made a particularly good one, as well as Marks & Spencer and good old British Rail. I wish chutney was more popular / mainstream in the United States. Another one of my favorite things I make for lunch is cheese and chutney quesadillas. Two cultures colliding! A true fusion of favors or should I say flavours? Anyway, here is a wonderful dip recipe.

Fruit Galette
This Fruit Galette has very few ingredients, and is quick and easy to make. A Galette is a term used in French cuisine to designate various types of flat round or freeform rustic tarts with hand-folded edges. I love them because they don't have to be perfect and with few ingredients.
