Easy cashew ricotta12/10/2023 No more keeping a close eye so a pot of milk doesn’t over boil (happens more often to me than I care to admit). I might even go so far as to say this will be my go-to recipe when I want a quick homemade ricotta fix. Well, that first spoonful, it made me moan. I clenched my eyes closed, over the sink, fully expecting to be disappointed. I even closed my eyes on first taste, and not in that “oh my gosh this is going to be so amazing” way of gently resting your eyelids together. I went into the test kitchen very skeptical, a non-believer, just expecting I’d prove my hunch to be true. I wondered-could it be possible to create a dairy-free version that delivers the same delight as my tried and true, dairy-rich recipe? Ricotta cheese crossed my mind last week. I’ve been exploring recipes outside of the ones required for this project. Cooking comes from the heart for me, and I’m very emotionally invested in the kitchen. Cooking professionally, especially when guests are plunking down money, shouldn’t be about the chef’s ego (I know, I’m a naive little one). I get annoyed when chefs complain about accommodating allergies and food sensitivities. It’s like I’m alive again, so energized by doing what I do best-creating recipes that everyone can enjoy. It’s a recipe development project with a focus on dairy-free cooking. I’m hoping to address the last round of edits from my agent while on vacation, so this baby can finally get some wings and fly into the inboxes of potential editors.īut back to this project I’m in the midst of working on. I think this is a book you’ll all want, and one that’s not been done before, at least not with this creative AND useful spin. I’ve been working on a proposal for the next book that I’m very excited about. I’m not really sure how much I can share about it, but to answer the pressing question: no, it’s not a new cookbook, not yet. In the next few days I deliver the first part of a new project I began a few weeks ago. I didn’t have any of that as a kid, so to have the pleasant predictability and be able to give our girls this consistency means so much. It may not sound like a big deal to anyone who grew up with annual vacations, or some sort of family rituals. The salty, sweet air of the bay is already working its magic some 500 miles away, awakening a part of me. I’m hoping our trip to Cape Cod this weekend will rectify things a bit (a lot would be even better!). ![]() I feel like my internal clock fell behind along the way, and I can’t seem to catch up. Time seems to be my nemesis lately, though. Writing a blog post isn’t something I should lose sleep over, I know. I was in bed, shuffling around to get cozy under the duvet when I realized I forgot to do something important: share this recipe.
