Patatas Bravas is a classic Spanish dish of fried potato cubes served with a spicy dipping sauce. Serve them up as a crowd-pleasing appetizer or side dish.
Enjoy this espresso drink during the holidays or all year round! With just the right amount of spice, it tastes just like the popular version found at gourmet coffee shops.
Dress a double batch of this light but satisfying dinner with the sesame dressing. The flavors get even better overnight in the fridge, and leftovers make a gourmet on-the-go lunch.
Canned crab is a terrific item to have on hand, especially when it can be turned into a fantastic appetizer like this in a snap. It looks and tastes gourmet, but takes literally seconds to put together. It will likely be eaten just as quickly!
Gourmet meal that's on your table in 30 minutes. The result was this dish and it's superb. If you don't have fresh thyme, I'd suggest using 1/2 tsp dried in it's place. And if you cannot find Asiago cheese, Romano or Parmesan is a decent substitute.
Fancy frosted cupcakes, be warned. The contender is back. Sweet fruit bakes on the bottom of lemon cake for a new mini-take on a classic crowd-pleaser.
Give a classic dessert a twist and you've got a smart breakfast option: cottage cheese, crunchy almond cereal and sweet peaches top a waffle. Waking up never tasted so good.
This is one packed potato! With veggies, roast beef and the potato itself, you've got everything you need for a one-dish meal. —Taste of Home Test Kitchen
This recipe from Gourmet Magazine is an example of what one can expect to be served at a Spanish tapas bar. They are very quick to prepare and can be made up to one day in advance, keeping in mind that they should be brought to room temperature before serving. I only use 1/2 teaspoon of red pepper flakes but you can use a whole teaspoon if you like your food spicy.
This recipe is adapted from Lake Placid Lodge's recipe for Triple Chocolate Cookies with Pistachios which appeared in Gourmet Magazine, May 1998 Notes: A white chocolate bar can be substituted for the white chocolate chips. Just chop into coarse chunks....
