Hasselback Potatoes with Cheddar

Hasselback Potatoes with Cheddar is a recipe developed at one of Stockholm's popular old Restaurant Hasselbacken. They look like they would be difficult to make, but once you get the hang of it, you'll make these a lot. You can make these using Parmesan cheese, rosemary, thyme, whatever strikes your fancy!

Crispy Oven Zucchini Fries

These Crispy Oven Zucchini Fries are a healthier version of zucchini fries. I have included a recipe for Apricot Dipping Sauce, which is a nod to the beloved Hamburger Hamlet restaurant chain in Los Angeles. They were famous for their Zucchini Zircles. You can also cut them into discs. I really hate deep-frying, so these are done in the oven, which is so much easier and less messy.

Tomato, Mozzarella & Pesto Puffs

Tomato, Mozzarella & Pesto Puffs is a great hors d'oeuvres for a party. Scrounging around the pantry, fridge and freezer and actually finding some decent ingredients makes me very happy. I needed a quick hors d'oeuvre and this is what I created. It's a good idea to always have some puff pastry in the freezer!

Shrimp Puffs are a super easy appetizer to make and are really delicious! Yes, it's another hors d'oeuvres for all that entertaining you're going to do! This one is very easy and delicious. If you can't find tiny bay shrimp, use regular size shrimp and cut them up. Warning - these are addictive! NB - I made the filling the day before the event.
