Tarte aux Moutarde (French Tomato and Mustard Pie)
Lyon, France is considered by some to be the gastronomic capital of the world. I moved there with the intent to learn this cuisine. This French tomato tart is not only a family favorite, but it's a very typical Lyonnaise dish. There are a lot of tomatoes in Lyon in the summertime, so this dish became a staple. It's wonderful for picnic lunches, and any leftovers are great as a next-day treat.
Manicotti Alla Romana
This rich meat, spinach and cheese filled manicotti dish is covered with white and red sauces. I offer this on the catering menu at my catering company and it is the most popular for casual dinner parties. It's a bit of work but well worth the effort.
Vegan Portobello Jerky
Portobello jerky is a great alternative to beef jerky for that vegan in your life. I plan to experiment with different flavor combinations, but for now, I leave you with my spicy Asian blend.
