Sweet Potato Peanut Butter Dip by Foodie’s Chef Laura Brennan
One must give credit where credit is due. This recipe is based on an idea from the FOOD52 website. It was posted as a spread for a fluffernutter sandwich! I was intrigued, not by the marshmallow fluff, but by the idea of combining peanut butter with sweet potato puree. It sounded delicious. And it is! I have made a dip and am going to serve it with fresh & dried fruits and simple cookies. A colleague suggested adding carrot and celery sticks…that works too!
Maître D’hôtel Butter – a flavored finishing butter by Foodie’s Chef Laura Brennan
‘Tis the season for roasted beef tenderloins, sirloin steaks and juicy prime ribs. And if you don’t have a French chef at your disposal to make a classic Bordelaise sauce for you, don’t despair! Make this easy, flavorful (‘compound’) butter, roll it into a log, chill and slice it into disks to melt on your meats.
Smoked Trout Dip with Pickles & Radishes by Foodie’s Chef Laura Brennan
Smoked Trout gets very little attention, unlike its attention-grabbing smoked salmon cousin. In an effort to ‘even-the-playing-fields’, I offer a quick cream cheese-based dip/spread ready in about 30 minutes, leaving you plenty of time to gather some crackers, radishes, cornichons, olives or other piquant and crunchy bites to complete your serving platter.
