My oldest daughter lives in southern New Hampshire and volunteers with her husband at one of the area ski resorts. This is one of her favorite winter recipes when coming home from the slopes on a cold winter night.
Sichuan Ginger Oil
This oil adds a lot of flavor to any dish and especially oriental fare, but don’t limit its use. It’s also great on a simple salad of mixed greens and bean sprouts. Note: This recipe requires advance preparation.
Oregano-Garlic Green Chile Vinegar
The combination of oregano and garlic imparts an Italian flavor to this vinegar, which we keep on the mild side so that the heat doesn’t mask the flavor of the garlic. Note: This recipe requires advance preparation.
Peppered Strawberries in Champagne
After cooking all day and sometimes for days and days, it’s nice to have a desert recipe that is so easy and takes absolutely no time to prepare, but is still elegant and delicious. In most areas you can find beautiful strawberries year round. Use a good quality champagne as the flavor really infuses the strawberries. Serve a glass of champagne with the dessert for a truly decadent finale to dinner.
