Simple Finger Food Suggestions

Grilled cheese can be turned into a classy finger food and makes everyone reminisces about how momma used to do it. Take white bread with Gruyere and cheddar cut into quarters and drizzle with balsamic reduction and serve with an apple/pear compote.

Pine nuts substitute for pesto?

I use pecans in my pesto. I am glade you did not buy pine nuts even though they do make a good pesto they are way too expensive. I toast the pecans first then add them to the pesto. I have never froze pesto but I think I would can it before I froze it. You can add the nuts then freeze it at culinary school we kept the nuts in the freezer.

Let's talk knives

I will say this like vehicals buy American made!!! I love dexter russell, and Lampson Sharp both located in Western Massachusetts. They are similar to german knives (henkel, and Wostof) but its always nice as someone who lives in Massachusetts to buy local.

How Do You Grill Your Cheese?

My grilled cheese is simple white or wheat bread with gruyere and white cheddar cheese. The key that seperates mine from the rest is I melt a stick of butter and half the amount of vegetable oil mixed together and brush it on liberally. Then reduce some balsamic vinegar and drizzle the sandwhich with that and serve it with an apple sauce to dip it in.

fava bean help

The only way I have eaten them is the fava bean puree that we made at a restaurant I worked at. Cook the fava beans until tender then garlic, lemon, and some olive oil and puree it up and serve on a mezze platter with some flatbread. Absolutley addictive!!!!!!

Worst Sandwich You've Ever Had

I completely disagree other than possibly a butter sandwich or mustard sandwich. Anything that is "sandwiched" between two objects is the greatest possible invention in the culinary world.
