Cooking Method: Broiling
Sherried Tomatoes
These Sherried Tomatoes are delicious and make a great side dish to your meal. There is a subtle touch of fresh dill and they can be made 1 hour ahead and then are put under the broiler for a few minutes until the cheese melts and is bubbly and golden.

Josephina’s
I used to cater a big party on New Year's Eve every year and someone always brought this hors d'oeuvres called Josephina’s. It was one of the most delicious appetizers I've ever had. People inhaled them, or as they say in England - "Hoovered" them up. You've got to try them!

Lemon-Garlic Marinated Lamb Chops
Anyone that knows me well, knows that I despise lamb. When we lived in England I had to endure many a Sunday lunch thinking of ways to hoist it over onto my husband's plate without the hostess noticing. I was only sometimes successful... Last week I bought him these lamb chops, gave him the recipe and sat in the living room with a vodka soda while he made them. This just shows how much I love him. So, these Lemon-Garlic Marinated Lamb Chops are Greek-inspired and I was told they were rather good.

Weeknight Beans on Toast
My daughter Grace made me this Weeknight Beans on Toast for Mother's Day dinner. It was so delicious and simple. This recipe will make more ragù than you need, but the leftovers can be repurposed as a quick topper for pasta on another night. Nothing beats the convenience of a bag of spinach, but any green will work here. Try mustard greens, kale, or collard greens.

Omelet Soufflé
I made this Omelet Soufflé for breakfast. It's quick and easy and a rather elegant way to start the day. When life gives you eggs, take them to eleven!

Honey-Soy Glazed Salmon
This Honey-Soy Glazed Salmon has a sweet and tangy flavor. The salmon is brushed with a mixture of honey, soy sauce, whole grain Dijon mustard, seasoned rice wine vinegar and crushed red pepper flakes and then broiled.

Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole
A cordon bleu is a dish of meat, usually chicken that is wrapped around cheese (or with cheese filling), then breaded and deep-fried. This Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole is an easier version, that has bite-size pieces of chicken, ham, in a cheesy cream sauce and top with buttery panko breadcrumbs. You can make all in a pressure cooker / Instant Pot or on the stovetop. I have included both methods.

Panko-Crusted Roast Chicken Thighs with Mustard and Thyme

Curried Shrimp Croustades
I have a lot of catering “secrets” and won’t divulge many, but these Curried Shrimp Croustades I will part with. It’s a wonderful recipe, that is incredibly easy, a huge crowd pleaser and you can make them in advance and freeze them.

Chorizo, Potato Tortilla & Egg Skillet
On the weekends, I usually look through the fridge and concoct some sort of breakfast. This Chorizo, Potato Tortilla & Egg Skillet is what I came up with. Having a cast iron skillet works really well for this. Chorizo is a type of pork sausage with smoked paprika.
