Cooking Method: Roasting
Sage Potatoes with Garlic
Sage is used in many recipes in the autumn and winter months. I had an enormous amount of sage growing in the backyard for the past several years and now it's all dead! I'm not sure what happened. I live in Los Angeles, where it rarely gets cold. I recently bought a new sage plant. It has about 6 leaves on it, which I used for these delicious potatoes.

Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Almonds & Blood Oranges
I went to my local farmers market. There are several food trucks that park there. I bought this amazing Brussels Sprouts and Blood Orange salad. I immediately came home and recreated it.

Maple and Mustard Glazed Salmon
This Maple and Mustard Glazed Salmon recipe is quick and healthy and perfect for an easy weeknight dinner or an elegant dinner party! While the sugar in the syrup caramelizes under high heat, the mustard gives it a spicy undertone. It pairs nicely with this Long Lake Lentil Salad and some baby arugula. Simple and delicious....

Balsamic Roasted Potato Wedges
These Balsamic Roasted Potato Wedges get tossed with olive oil, salt and pepper and then sprinkled with balsamic vinegar at the end of baking. They are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. These potato wedges are so crisp and flavorful, you'll want to eat them as a side dish for every meal!

Pork Chops with Figs in Hard Cider
Williams Sonoma recently posted a recipe for pork with figs. We have an enormous fig tree in the back yard and I am always trying to figure out ways to use them. The crows, squirrels and parrots get most of them. Anyway, I tried this recipe and used pork chops instead of tenderloin. It was excellent and I got to use up some more figs!

Hasselback Potatoes UnPlugged
I love Hasselback Potatoes! Hasselback potatoes cut in such a way as to resemble a fan or accordion when roasted. The name is derived from the restaurant where they were first introduced in the 1940s, Hasselbacken in Stockholm, Sweden which opened in that city in 1748 and where they are called hasselbackspotatis. The outside of the potato becomes crisp and brown while the inside is soft and creamy. This version is sort of cheating because you cut the potatoes all the way through.

Roasted Smoky Cauliflower with Limey Yogurt
Last weekend, we had dinner with my culinary/photographer (he took my new head shots!) friend Chris and his wife. He is an amazing chef and made this wonderful cauliflower, which could be served as a snack or side dish. It's a recipe from Aarti Sequeira, who had a Food Network program called Aarti Party.

Roasted Balsamic Glazed Mushrooms
I love all kinds of mushrooms. They give an earthiness and depth of flavor to many dishes. The key to this recipe is to heat your baking sheet in a 500 degree F oven before adding the mushrooms. I learned this technique at a cooking class I took at Pizzeria Mozza in Los Angeles.

Roasted Pork Tenderloin with Oranges, Parsley, Sage, Rosemary & Thyme
Are you going to Scarborough Fair?
I have lots of fresh herbs in the garden and decided to create this pork tenderloin recipe using some oranges. It's very flavorful and tender. I love cooking in cast iron skillets.
