Can a person stalk a cookbook? I feel like posting twice in the span of a month about dishes I’ve tried from The Forest Feast is a bit excessive, but I wanted to share these delicious corn and cauliflower tacos (recipe here and below) before fresh sweet corn is out of season. The nuttiness of the roasted cauliflower, sweetness of the nearly caramelized corn, kick of the spices and saltiness of the feta makes for an awesome combination. Read on for more about these fabulous and fresh tacos, and why I find them so surprisingly good.
A pretty dish, made even prettier by this Anthropologie plate.

This “cake” is a go-to recipe for many occasions (recipe below). You absolutely should make this dessert. Your friends will swoon and your family will love you. Even more, that is. It uses only a handful of ingredients (one of which can be varied depending on preference) and must be made at least a day in advance, which is always a good feature for making entertaining easier. If you’d like to make it with chocolate chip cookies, as shown here, try my cookie recipe (link here) or if you’d like to skip some steps, feel free to use Toll House packaged cookie dough – those actually work quite well as they soak up some of the ice cream goodness. If you are more of a purist, use a package of chocolate wafers, which is the main ingredient in the classic version of this treat. If peanut butter is your thing, use Nutter Butter cookies and chocolate sauce, and crumble a Butterfinger bar on top for added crunch.
Yeah, it’s as good as it looks.
