Chef Dan’s Charred Jalapeño Hummus with Za’atar Roasted Chicken and Pita

Making hummus at home is a lot easier than you might think. It just takes a few simple ingredients. Once you see how effortless it is to make using the Wolf Gourmet blender, you’ll never go back to store bought hummus again. There are a few different ways you can add the charred jalapeños. You can either blend them right into the hummus, or you can serve them in the middle, like I did here. I prefer the latter method since not everybody likes spicy food. This way, you can control the exact amount of jalapeño you get per scoop…. Read more

Cardamom Spiced Pear Turnovers from The Broken Bread

Now that the season has turned to the crisp atmosphere of winter, it’s the perfect time to start cozying up by the fireplace, hot cocoa in hand, or to wrap yourself in your favorite blanket while sipping on the morning’s coffee. But best of all is enjoying all the warm baked treats that are so appropriate this time of year. And hardly anything is better than a fresh batch of cardamom-spiced pear turnovers. Unlike the bursting flavor of summer stone fruits and berries, winter fruit is rich but understated—the flavors need to be coaxed into fullness. So, in this recipe… Read more

Sugar Cookie Bars from Grandbaby Cakes

During the holiday season, cookie baking is at its prime.  I love whipping up several batches of cookie dough so I can bake dozens of cookies for family and friends.  The classics like gingerbread and sugar cookies can always be counted on to be holiday favorites. Sometimes, however, I like to mix it up and change the texture and end result altogether. That’s where these Sugar Cookie Bars come in.  They are the perfect cross between a sugar cookie and a dessert bar. They taste just like sugar cookies but are thicker and pack in more flavor. I love using… Read more

Oven Crispy Fish with Herbs from Evan Kalman

Cooking fish can be intimidating, but it doesn’t have to be. Whole roasted fish makes for a simple yet elegant dinner, and cooking it in the Wolf Gourmet countertop oven couldn’t be easier. For a quick and elegant dinner, consider whole roasted fish like a trout or branzino. Because they are smaller in size, they cook up fast and perfect every time. Start with the freshest fish you can find. The eyes should be clear, and the fish should smell like the sea. Keep things simple and ask your fishmonger to clean the fish for you. Make sure to keep the whole… Read more

Apt2B Baking Co.’s Cheddar Scallion Biscuits

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

Recipe Runner’s Korean Barbecue Chicken with Asian Coleslaw

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

Roasted Tomato Bruschetta from The Chef Dan

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

Halibut en Papillote with Salsa Verde and Vegetables from Food By Mars

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

Fresh Herb Bread from Pastry Affair

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
