2050. Lebanese Style Mashed Potato Salad.

2046. Lemon Leaf Mozzarella Appetizer

This is an unusual appetizer served in niche country restaurants in rustic areas of Italy. It is mozzarella cheese nestled between two lemon tree leaves with the barest touch of anchovy, lemon zest, and thinly sliced chili or jalapeno.

2045. Strawberry Eton Ice Cream

Eton Mess is a British classic dessert comprising of whipped cream, crumbled meringues, and fresh strawberries. A couple of years ago I did my take on it, Arab-izing it by using pomegranates. This creative version uses ice cream instead of whipped cream, making it the ultimate Summer dessert.
