Rosemary Cheddar Potato Latkes
These Rosemary Cheddar Potato Latkes are not your traditional latkes by any means, but they are absolutely delicious. You can serve these golden brown potato pancakes with a dollop of sour cream.
Tip - My method of squeezing the water out of the potatoes is using a potato ricer, which is one of my favorite kitchen tools. I also use it for spinach, canned artichoke hearts, etc.

White Asparagus with Tarragon Cream and Toasted Panko
To grow white asparagus, the shoots are covered with soil as they grow, so that there is no exposure to sunlight, which keeps it white. White asparagus is considered to be slightly milder in flavor and a bit more tender than green asparagus.

Parmesan Roasted Cauliflower
Cauliflower features prominently on my blog. I looked through my archives and realized I have a thing for cauliflower! I especially like roasting vegetables, probably due to the fact that I grew up in the midwest in the '60s when all vegetables were boiled to a flavorless mush.

Chickpea, Red Pepper, & Spinach Salad with Harissa
This is a wonderful Moroccan salad with a great depth of flavor. Harissa is what my husband calls the ketchup of north Africa. Harissa is a Tunisian hot chili pepper paste made with roasted red peppers, serrano peppers and other hot chili peppers and spices and herbs such as garlic paste, coriander seed, or caraway as well as some vegetable or olive oil for preservation. It is also popular in Moroccan cuisine.
