I didn’t grow up eating biscuits, but once I discovered Southern style buttermilk biscuits, and how easy they are to make, I couldn’t be stopped. They are always a welcome side dish in my house and this super savory cheddar scallion version is an all-time favorite. These biscuits are of the soft and fluffy variety, packed with lots of cheesy oniony goodness. They would make a fine accompaniment to just about any dinner plan, but are especially great with soup or chili or you could save them for breakfast to have alongside some soft scrambled eggs. The dough comes together… Read more

Barbecue chicken is a summertime staple. It’s one of the most popular items you’ll find at a cookout or picnic next to hamburgers and hot dogs. What’s not to love about juicy chicken coated in a sweet and tangy glaze? As much as I love a good homemade, all-American barbecue sauce, I want to elevate my barbecue chicken by adding wonderful, spicy, salty, sweet Korean flavors to it. With summer in full swing, many people do their cooking outside. The thought of turning on an oven can cause a person to break out in a sweat. However, there are plenty… Read more

Plain old bruschetta is always going to be a safe bet for a crowd-pleasing appetizer, but when you want to kick things up a notch, give this roasted tomato bruschetta a go. Slow roasting cherry tomatoes brings out the best in them and highlights their naturally sweet flavor. Roasted tomatoes don’t need much to make them shine: a little olive oil, some salt, and thyme is all you need. It’s a classic combination and this is one of those situations where simplicity is key. I like to roast the tomatoes in a skillet and the Wolf Gourmet 8.5” skillet is… Read more

Fish en papillote is a classic French dish whereby an entire meal is baked in parchment paper and ready in 30 minutes or less. It’s a great way to have an all-in-one meal, which is tasty, quick and easy with little clean up. For the selection of fish, I prefer Halibut for its meaty texture and mild yet buttery flavor. Salmon is also an excellent and popular choice. Vegetables can vary depending upon preference. Since cooking can be uneven depending on thickness and placement of fish and vegetables as well as the level of heat, I highly recommend using the Wolf… Read more

The type of produce available during the summer months is truly a glorious thing to behold. I have a great love for stone fruits, and as much as I adore peaches, the plums this summer have been stealing the show. Plus the beautiful color they lend to various dishes and drinks is truly breathtaking, so this plum bellini cocktail seemed like a great way to put a few juicy summer plums to use. This refreshing summer cocktail is a variant of the ever-so-popular peach bellini—an invigorating mixture of stone fruit puree and effervescent Prosecco. The combined sweetness and tartness of… Read more

Freshly picked herbs bring a bold flavor and aroma to home cooked dishes. To have a selection of fresh herbs available in my kitchen, I started an outdoor herb garden this year, planting a range of seedlings consisting of rosemary, thyme, oregano, and basil. With plenty of sun and careful watering, the plants have quickly outgrown their planters, spilling over the edges and onto the ground. Now challenged with an overwhelming abundance of herbs, I have been finding new ways to include them in my everyday cooking, including with this fresh herb bread. The Wolf Gourmet countertop oven has a permanent… Read more

We’re sure this sorbet will leave you and all who savor it feeling refreshed and impressed. Go ahead and… Read more

Chocolate mousse is a classic. I’ve tried nearly every variation, but my benchmark is still Julia Child’s traditional version, which hits that perfect intersection of flavor and texture. A good mousse is worth the effort, but it does require a fair amount of work. Bain Maries, ice baths, carefully melting the chocolate, vigorously whipping the egg yolks, carefully incorporating the egg whites — this isn’t a quick weeknight dessert. I found that you can cut out nearly all the effort by swapping your whisk for a blender. The Wolf Gourmet high performance blender does all the work melting, mixing, and aerating… Read more

This pan-fried halloumi & peach salad on a bed of arugula is the summer salad I can’t get enough of. Topped with homemade basil oil for the most vibrant of flavors, I have no doubt you will love this salad. I’ve been working on some fun and easy summer dinner recipes, so when I had the chance to work with Wolf Gourmet products, specifically their 8.5” inch skillet and high-performance blender, I decided to create a delicious warm-weather salad. The 8.5” skillet is one of the most versatile pans in the kitchen, perfectly sized for preparation of smaller meals, side dishes and omelets…. Read more

I love frozen, slushy cocktails in the summertime, but I’ve never had a blender that could handle the job as well as I would like. I was always left with unpleasant ice bits that made my frozen cocktail experience less than ideal. That is, until I got a real deal Wolf Gourmet blender that makes quick work of ice and anything else I throw at it. Thanks to my new kitchen companion, this is my summer of frozen drinks, and the prettiest and tastiest of them all couldn’t be easier to make. Just add some frozen, full-flavored rosé, frozen strawberries,… Read more
