This light and delicate egg custard is a wonderful appetizer to prepare if you're looking to wow your partner or dinner guests. It's both beautiful and fun to eat, is extremely simple and easy to make, and require few ingredients. This Japanese dish is often served in omakase meals and in traditional Japanese restaurants. The flavors are mild, eggy and earthy, with a texture very similar to silken tofu. http://www.pickledplum.net/2012/07/recipe-chawan-mushi-steamed-egg-custard.html
This Guacamole recipe is incredibly tasty and has the perfect amount of acidity and heat. What makes it so special is the smokiness of the charred jalapeno. This technique transforms good guacamole into a stratospherically divine dip that can be eaten on its own by the spoonful. http://www.pickledplum.net/2012/08/the-best-guacamole-recipe.html
Very simple and gorgeous to look at, sauteed radishes are a great way to change things up from the common vegetable sides we're so used to eating. Tender and almost turnip like, their taste is mild and uncomplicated. http://www.pickledplum.net/2012/08/sauteed-radishes.html
