Sicilian Caponata
Preheat the oven to 425F. Line a full baking sheet with parchment paper. Put in the oven while it preheats – this will heat up the sheet and speed up the browning of the eggplant.
Honey Roasted Figs
In the dish, arrange the figs cut side up in a single layer. Drizzle the honey over the figs. Add the water. Sprinkle the tops of the figs with the sugar.
Honeyed Peach Torte
With a spatula, spoon the cake batter into the prepared tin and gently smooth it towards the sides. It doesn’t matter if it doesn’t quite reach as the cake will puff up and fill in as it bakes. Take the peach slices and push them into the cake batter until they are all used up.
Creamy Broccoli Soup
Blend the broccoli soup in batches until smooth. Return to the pot and heat through over a low flame. Stir in the remaining lemon juice. Taste for salt. Serve in bowls with a drizzle of EVOO and a dollop of scallion gremolata.
Ann’s Tart Lemon Tart
Put the 2 whole lemons into a sauce pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil, cover. Lower the heat to a simmer. Cook until soft, about 20 minutes
Summer Veggie Spaghetti

Basic Baked Tostadas
Bake on a high shelf for 10-12 minutes, or until the tortillas are browned and crisp. Move to cool on paper towels. Serve with desired toppings.
Grilled Scallop Tortillas
I love scallops not just because they taste so sweet, and cook in a jiffy. Grilled scallop tortillas is a 3-fer – you get the scallops, the slaw and a fabulous fresh salsa verde. So good.
