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.

Fig & Rosemary Pizza
I managed to pick some figs off our enormous fig tree. Having is fig tree has it rewards, but it's a mess when they fall! Splat! Pizza is one of my favorite foods. I have made pizza for years and am always perfecting my technique. I used gruyère cheese for this one, but you could also use goat cheese, ricotta, parmesan, etc.
