Potato, Ham & Leek Gratin
We love leeks and I always say, they are under-utilized in the US. This Potato, Ham & Leek Gratin is a classic combination. You can leave out the ham to make it vegetarian. It gets topped with Gruyère cheese. What's not to love?

Melting Cabbage
Melting Cabbage literally melts in your mouth. It's nestled in a bed of caramelized fennel and braised in tomato and wine and finished in the oven. You add parmesan rind, which is an Italian trick that adds depth of flavor. I keep parmesan rinds in a bag in the freezer and use them in soups and stews.

Cauliflower Toasts
I made Ina Garten's Cauliflower Toasts and I now want to make it again. Apparently, it's one of Ina's favorite things to have for lunch. It calls for prosciutto, but you could leave it out to make it vegetarian. You can use any cheese you like. Also, you can double the cauliflower mixture and keep in your freezer.

Baked Broccoli Polenta with Roasted Mushrooms
I saw this recipe for Baked Broccoli Polenta with Roasted Mushrooms in Saveur magazine. I have to say, it was outstanding. You make the polenta, stir in roasted broccoli and grated Parmesan and put it in a loaf pan, refrigerate over night. Then it's sliced and roasted and serve with roasted mushrooms. It calls for maitake mushrooms, but I used cremini mushrooms. This would be a great addition to your holiday meal for your vegetarian guests or all guests! Oh, and it's gluten free!

Salmon with Lemon Vinaigrette and Crispy Capers
I made this Salmon with Lemon Vinaigrette and Crispy Capers mainly to try out the crispy capers recipe. I actually do not like capers, except these are rather good. You cover them in olive oil and cook them in the microwave. Then they are drained and become very crispy. I made a simple lemon vinaigrette for the roasted salmon which paired very well with the capers.
