"To cook is to create. And to create well...
is an act of integrity, and faith,"

 

All Hail the Almighty Apple!

 

 

Seasonal 468 x 60 

"I know the look of an apple that is roasting and sizzling on the hearth
on a winter's evening, and I know the comfort that comes of eating it
hot, along with some sugar and a drench of cream... I know how the nuts
taken in conjunction with winter apples, cider, and doughnuts, make old
people's tales and old jokes sound fresh and crisp and enchanting."

~ Mark Twain

Gigi’s Waldorf Salad

According to Bon Appétit, Waldorf Salad got its name from the
luxurious Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in New York and was invented
in 1896 not by a chef but by the maître d'hôtel Oscar Tschirky.
As often happens, many variations evolved. This one was my
mother’s favorite:

3 tart apples - peeled, cored and chopped
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 cup seedless grapes
2 stalks celery, chopped
1/4 cup golden raisins
1/4 cup walnuts, chopped
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 tablespoons sour cream or plain yogurt
3 tablespoons apple juice
1/4 teaspoon celery seed
Pinch of salt and white pepper
Romaine lettuce leaves

In a large bowl combine the apples, lemon juice, grapes, celery, raisins
and walnuts.
In a small bowl whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream or yogurt,
apple juice, celery seed, salt and pepper, combining well.
Pour the dressing over the apple mixture and toss to combine. Serve
on Romaine lettuce leaves. Makes 4 servings.

 

Beet, Radicchio and Apple Salad
with Roquefort

Apples – A Country Garden Cookbook
Christopher Idone, 1993, Collins Publishers, San Francisco

Alibris 

"The fruitiness and refreshing acidity of the
cider-walnut dressing enlivens this colorful salad."

Cider-Walnut Dressing
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
4 tablespoons walnut oil
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon Dijon-style mustard
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

4 medium beets, baked or boiled, peeled and cut into julienne
1 large head radicchio, trimmed, cored and cut into julienne
1 large endive, trimmed, cored and cut widthwise into julienne
1 bunch watercress, trimmed and chopped
2 medium sweet-tart apples (such as Northern Spy or
Winesap), peeled, cored, sliced and cut into julienne
1/4 cup fresh walnuts, shelled
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
4 ounces Roquefort cheese, crumbled

In a large bowl, whisk together the vinegar, oils and mustard.
Season with salt and pepper.
Toss the beets, radicchio, endive, watercress and apples with the
cider-walnut dressing.
Toast the walnut meats in a nonstick pan over high heat for a minute,
or until warmed through. Season with a little salt and pepper.
Divide the salad among 4 chilled salad plates. Top each salad with
some toasted walnuts and Roquefort. Serves 4.

 

Baked Apples with Spiced Ricotta and
Maple Syrup

4 medium Rome apples (8 ounces each) cored
to within 1/2 inch of base
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
6 tablespoons pure maple syrup
3/4 heaping teaspoon freshly grated ginger
Four 3-inch-long cinnamon sticks
3/4 cup ricotta cheese
2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon confectioner's sugar
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3 tablespoons heavy cream

Heat oven to 450 degrees F. Peel about 1 inch of skin from tops of
apples; cut a sliver off the bottoms so the apples will stand. Place
them in a 9-inch glass pie plate.
Cut 1 tablespoon butter into 4 pieces; fill each apple core with a piece
of butter, 1 tablespoon maple syrup, 1/8 teaspoon ginger, and 1 cinna-
mon stick. Place remaining 2 tablespoons butter and 2 tablespoons
syrup in bottom of pie plate.
Bake, basting several times with pan juices, until apples are golden
and tender, about 35 minutes (the skin may split). Transfer apples to
a serving dish; let baking juices stand to thicken, about 15 minutes.
Purée ricotta, confectioner's sugar, remaining ginger, cinnamon and
cream in food processor. Serve 2 heaping tablespoons of ricotta
cream with each apple and drizzle with the warm syrup.
