ffwd – eggplant “tartine” with tomatoes, olives and cucumbers

I had picked up a couple of eggplant at the local farmstand, so I was looking forward to this recipe. As usual, I didn't actually read it beforehand, so assumed that I needed some bread for the "tartine". I think I'd even read through this one before. Oh well. The bread was nice anyway! 🙂 … Continue reading ffwd – eggplant “tartine” with tomatoes, olives and cucumbers

ffwd – minted zucchini tagliatelle with cucumbers and lemon

This recipe kind of sent me for a loop, since unlike some of the other salads, this needs to marinate a little bit before serving (but not too much!). So timing this didn't work out as well as I would have liked.

ffwd – cafe-style grated carrot salad

I'm not sure how much I can offer with this recipe. It's good. I've made it before.

I had planned to make … Continue reading ffwd – warm scallop salad with corn, nectarines and basil

ffwd – lime and honey beet salad

This is a nice salad. I suspect there will be some weighing in on this as a "recipe". I happen to like beets a lot, and have made this in the past. It's the kind of thing that is a nice side to go with other things, or, to be honest, really good with the … Continue reading ffwd – lime and honey beet salad

ffwd – lentil, lemon and tuna salad

I have to say that, thanks to Dorie, I'm now just a little addicted to French lentils. I feel quite virtuous, because they are so good for you too - a "super food" even. So while this is the first time I've made this exact recipe, it's not actually the very first attempt at something … Continue reading ffwd – lentil, lemon and tuna salad
