Vegetarian
MiLam consults with vegetarians from time to time, but we do not have one on staff. However, everyone on our staff loves vegetarian foods. Our simple definition of “vegetarian” is the absence on animal flesh and animal slaughter by-products. But we must stress that our understanding of vegetarianism is in no way nuanced. With regard to desserts, we do include recipes that call for ingredients such as gelatin and jelly, assuming a vegetarian will use vegetarian options.

Swiss Cheese and Onion Soup with Homemade Croutons: another Mollie Katzen “Moosewood” recipe that I love, and have made again and again.
Chocolate Chip Cookies: The Best I’ve Ever Made
I stumbled across this Jacques Torres recipe at Martha Stewart. Though it specifies bittersweet or semisweet, milk chocolate would be just as delicious. A combination of bread and pastry flour (maybe a touch of whole wheat), plus the secret of refrigerating the dough (thank you, NY Times), makes these cookies chewy, beautiful, and texturally interesting.

Figs with Mascarpone
Sure, you made it past Christmas, but what are you going to do about New Years? This. The flavor of this fig-and-mascarpone appetizer is delicious, but the texture is equally interesting. It’s not at all difficult, but it is a time consuming recipe. Still, it’s best to make it day-of … well in advance.

Kahuna Salad
This Kahuna Salad is made up of Hawaiian pineapple and macadamia nuts, plus tropcal flavors like banana chips and papaya. Its tahini dressing is lightly sweetened with maple syrup, which helps tie the fruits and vegetables together. If you’re an avid saladista, this recipe might be a nice refreshing addition to your rotation.
