Pasta with Swiss Chard
Garden fresh Swiss chard is quickly cooked with olive oil, garlic, and capers in this quick and easy Italian-inspired pasta meal.
Sourdough Focaccia alla Genovese
Classic Genovese focaccia made without commercial yeast. I adapted this recipe during the Covid-19 lockdown. Using a mother dough gives the taste an edge commercial yeast just can't achieve. I do the second rise overnight. This way it will be ready to bake for lunchtime.
Lavash Cracker Bread
This is identical to the cracker bread sold in large grocery store delis that costs $6 for three big rounds. With this recipe, you can make it for pennies! I love it as an appetizer with melted Harvarti cheese on top, but with the price of the cheese and store-bought lavash, we didn't have it often.
