Roast Chicken and Figs
August 22nd, 2012
Every summer our enormous old fig tree boasts upwards of 50+ pounds of green figs, filled with bright pink flesh. Depending on the weather, they can get as large as a baseball! Even though they are so delicious, I somehow kind of struggle to know what to do with them all. So at a certain…

These lovely little bites (filled with Cambozola cheese, fig jam and red wine caramelized onions) are perfect for New Years eve- or for the middle of the afternoon- which is when I ate them.

There are few things more beautiful, as far as produce is concerned, than a perfectly ripe summer fig. They are delicate, and plump, and perfectly sweet. There are three types that are easy to find at any of the Seattle farmers markets: brown Turkish figs, bright green Calypso figs, and purple Mission figs. Upon slicing…
Fig Crostini
October 8th, 2007
After a month of settling in my new baby girl, I am emerging from the sleep deprived haze of the last few weeks. We still are not in our house, (what is with going months over on remodels??), and my mom has left town for a month. That means that I am back to cooking…
