Beet Salad with Plums and Goat Cheese
Here is a beautiful and inventive salad that combines hearty beets, sweet-tart plums and tangy goat cheese.
Quince, Ginger, and Pecan Conserve
In this recipe we slowly "double-cook" the quince, which prevents the fruit from crystallizing and heightens the pinkish- orange color it turns when cooked.
Cold Honeydew and Mint Soup in Cantaloupe
Can be prepared in 45 minutes or less but requires additional unattended time.
Potato and Romaine Salad with Creamy Dijon Dressing
Potatoes are tossed with a rich mustard dressing and served atop a bed of crisp lettuce in this unusual and delicious salad.
Orzo Pilaf with Mushrooms, Leeks and Sun-Dried Tomatoes
Regular button mushrooms are a nice substitute for the portobellos in this side dish.
Savory Lobster Bread Puddings with Vanilla Chive Sauce
At the Perryville Inn chef Paul Ingenito uses the succulent bits of meat from lobster knuckles in a bread pudding, which he bakes and serves in empty lobster tail shells as an adjunct to a whole lobster. We thought the pudding was stunning enough to stand on its own and so adapted the recipe, using the meat of a whole lobster for the pudding and the shells and body for the sauce.
