There’s something innately satisfying about a savory and flavorful eggy custard nestled within pastry. This dish is going into my standard brunch rotation.

We love an appetizer platter here at Glover Gardens, and this one with cold-smoked salmon and caviar was elegant, quick to assemble and delicious. Get the recipe here.

An actual good use for white zinfandel: a marinade for smoked salmon, and flavor enhancer for stock.

This Smoked Salmon 7-Layer dip from Bon Appetit is very festive and just right for a holiday party.

I’m not able to post a new recipe over this Labor Day long weekend, so I thought I’d share links to a few of my favorites from the grill that seem oh-so-appropos for the holiday.
