We spent our 35th wedding anniversary at The Inn at Little Washington and I got Patrick O'Connell's cookbook Refined American Cuisine. This is my version of one of his recipes I cheated and used frozen biscuits that I cooked up --they were still very good! 8 oz mascarpone MIXED WITH  1/4 c pepper jelly ( I used store bought) Virginia country ham slices Frisée Chive biscuits ( I used frozen sorry Patrick)

My daughter Katie made this and raved how good it was both gluten free and low carb --her friend Katelyn saw it on the Today show.

Store bought pizza flatbread ( from Trader Joes) EVOO Creme Fraiche ( we also debated using ricotta -maybe next time) Smoked Salmon Red Onion (sliced thin) Capers Chives Lemon Zest Brush EVOO on crust then in 425 oven for 5 minutes Top warm crust with creme fraiche then layer with rest of ingredients!

From The Chew show Michael Symon was sous chef for  Elizabeth Karmel. Some of her best recipes are the result of a little experimentation as is  the case for her Lobster Tails with Pastis Creme and Asparagus Spears. She was simply curious as to what would happen if she added Pastis to lobster, knowing already how delicious grilled lobster is. She’s certainly a pro when it comes to barbecue. This recipe was very quick and easy to make and would be awesome with some crunchy bread to grab the rest of the sauce. A few notes I used Pernod as that is what I had on hand also had to put a little foil wrap under as my lobster tails came presliced along the outside part. This was DELICIOUS! Also used store bought creme fraiche. 1 C homemade creme fraiche (or store-bought) + more to serve (recipe blow) 4 sprigs fresh tarragon (or 1 tsp dried) kosher salt 4 lobster tails (5-7 oz each) – defrosted if frozen, legs and cartilage removed from the belly 1/4 C Pastis (Ricard o...
