A P P E T I Z E R

Balsamic roasted mushrooms stuffed with miso mashed potatoes, and topped with chives.

Miso Potatoes Stuffed Mushrooms

This stuffed mushroom recipe has 2 parts to it: balsamic roasted mushrooms, and miso mashed potatoes. Make each part ahead, and then warm and stuff the mushrooms before serving.

F I R S T C O U R S E

Two bowls of celery root soup, with one topped with lobster.

Celery Root Bisque

Celery root, also called celeriac, is one of winter's best vegetables. This velvety celery root bisque is a perfect first course of a special dinner with optional broiled lobster lumps. Best of all, it can be made ahead and kept in the refrigerator for 2 - 3 days.

E N T R E E

Baked risotto with artichokes and radicchio, topped with parsley and breadcrumbs.

Baked Artichoke Risotto

I created this creamy baked risotto casserole for the Food Network blog a few years ago when I was asked to create comfort food recipes for them. It's loaded with artichokes and radicchio, and topped with lemon-caper breadcrumbs.

Best of all, it's baked in the oven, which reduces that all-hands-on-deck thing when making risotto.

S I D E S A L A D

Lemony Romaine and Avocado Salad

This simple lemony romaine and avocado salad is a perfect side dish for most any main dish, or use it as a base to build a meal.

This recipe is from my cookbook, Simply Vegetarian!

D E S S E R T

Three ramekins of chocolate mousse with three spoons.

Easy Chocolate Mousse (with no eggs!)

What makes this chocolate mousse special is that it has the rich chocolate flavor we all love, and is as fluffy as a mousse that's made with eggs! Most eggless mousse recipes end up more dense, similar to a pudding. But not this one. The secret to getting this texture without eggs is the food processor.
