Recipe for Charred Fennel with Orange and Honey

from Via Carota by Jody Williams and Rita Sodi

Cookbook review by Tracey Zabar

This lovely book will inspire you to go into the kitchen and cook. Break out your grill pan and try this amazing fennel dish first for a new classic addition to your repertoire. Next on my list: Insalata di Arance, salad with oranges, red onions, and olives, and dressed with a sherry vinegar; a salted branzino; and grappa-scented chocolate truffles.

Try baking these simple, delicious macaroons for Passover or any time. Then, dive into the book for inspiration. I am always looking for small side and main dishes for dinner. This cookbook is filled with them. Next on my list: sweet potato hummus; peach caprese salad; lamb rib chops with mint-rosemary relish; and chocolate cream pie in a jar.
