Sunny Day Fennel Persimmon Salad

The first time I tasted this salad was when I visited Israel for the first time. It was also my first taste of persimmons. They are mildly sweet and very refreshing. Soon after coming home from that trip, I found persimmons in my local grocery store and attempted to recreate the salad recipe. This is my best attempt. In my recipe, I peel the persimmon but do not peel the green apple. I use a handheld mandoline to slice the persimmon, apple and fennel. It is also possibl

Pear & Arugula Salad with Sweet Almonds

Outstanding! Delicious! Elegant! These are the responses I received from friends at a dinner party during the salad course. Maybe it's because of the salad's perfect combination of sweet and salty with crunchy and tender. It could also be the care of a homemade dressing featuring roasted garlic. Or, it's the oven baked caramelized nuts and fresh pomegranate seeds that top off the salad. Whatever the reason, it is a crowd pleaser! Assembling the salad is a breeze when t

Flan Casero

Flan is one of my all-time favorite desserts. I first learned to make flan when visiting my daughter who was studying in Argentina.

It’s easier than you’d think to make this dessert. And it serves 8… so have a dinner party or save the extras in the fridge just for you! Flan Casero (Homemade Flan) serves 8 ©mypl
