Italian sausage/10 recipes

I created this super comfort food soup after discovering celery root (celeriac) thanks to my European husband. I combine typical American green celery stalks and leaves with celeriac, which extra enhances the soup's flavor and makes it even creamier with just milk. No real cream needed. I top mine with croutons and extra celery leaves. Can easily be made vegetarian.

Cantaloupe Sorbet recipe

Takes no time to make, and it comes out tasty and refreshing.

Wow, love these biscotti. They are so chocolaty and the almonds add a layer of delicious nuttiness. Perfect to enjoy it with a cup of tea.

The recipe blends equal amounts of gueuze and Chardonnay to make these mussels fragrant, and adds Cajun spices for heat. We suggest a farmhouse ale in the Flemish tradition to pair with the mussels.

Whether you know this unleavened bread as Matzo, Matza or Matzah, this delicious, homemade, cracker-like alternative to bread is a welcome change. The pickled lettuce creates a light pleasant contrast and studies show that vinegar can help diabetes by keeping blood sugar levels stable. Matzo’s history is an integral part of the Jewish culture; when Jewish people were enslaved by Egypt’s Pharaoh, God sent 10 plagues to punish the Egyptians until finally they agreed to free Moses and his people. The Jews had to leave their homes in haste because the Pharaoh changed his mind, consequently they didn’t have time to prepare the bread properly and had to bake the mixture of flour and water which resulted in a hard flat bread; Matza was a happy mistake. Jewish people remember the Exodus by not eating any products made with Yeast etc for one week at Passover, but Matzo is also enjoyed by many cultures throughout the year.

This eggplant, pumpkin and spinach vegie lasagna is a fair bit of work and takes a while - but it is absolutly worth every bit of effort. It tastes wonderful and is really healthy. It can be frozen in individual servings and will last for ages. I've taken a serve to university for lunch [where i have access to a microwave] about once a week for the last 8 weeks - all from the one batch. Fantastic :D

Just like the name of the recipe, this focaccia has a very crispy texture with strong olive, herb and garlic flavor. Just simply eating it directly is delicious enough.

great dish when it is hot outside and/or inside.. sometimes a main dish with separately served potatoes, often with meat or sausages.. I like to serve it as a side dish to grilled food.. similar to Lithuanian chilled beat soup, which is fantastic, however they add a lot of cream, hard boiled eggs and do not add radish rather..

A quick and easy, filling Mediterranean-inspired Italian tortellini salad. This easy pasta salad can be made a day in advance.

Baked French Toast to perfection with a hint of orange and topped with decadent Macadamia nuts. Great with a bit of maple syrup.

Due to its rich beefy flavor, and the hearty belly warming cheese tortellini, this beef tortellini soup has been a family favorite at our home for years.

This Punjabi dish, with some variation in spices, is eaten over all of northern India. Paneer is a fresh milk cheese with an interesting, slightly chewy consistency. It's easy to make, but requires planning ahead. You can substitute a diced 6- or 8-ounce cake of pressed tofu for it in this recipe.

This quick and easy pasta dish tastes delicious. For a vegetarian version, just omit the anchovies, and it is still refreshingly tasty.
