Reconstructed Berry Pie

Reconstructed Berry Pie - lime macerated berries with basil, vanilla chantilly, pie crust

This "reconstructed" berry pie is a simple play on a traditional favorite. I love macerated berries in the summer time, and who doesn't like a good berry pie? This dessert takes half the work and a third of the time as a normal berry pie, and by rethinking its structure, it allows you to keep your berries moist and macerated in a delicious simple syrup while keeping your crust crisp and flaky.

Seeded Lavash

Seeded Lavash

This simple lavash recipe yields a full-flavor cracker that pairs well with cheese plates, pates and rillettes. It's versatile in the sense that the seeds can be mixed and matched as desired, with my favorites being a mixture of sesame, poppy and sunflower seeds. Use this like you would any other cracker, but you can take pride in the fact that it's home made.

Yeasted Brioche Doughnuts

Yeasted Brioche Doughnuts - Recipe

There are few things in this world more enjoyable then a fresh doughnut, served piping hot. Unfortunately, most people rarely experience this pleasure since hot, fresh doughnuts can be difficult to come by

That is unless you make your own.

White Bread - Basic Recipe

Don't let the name fool you; this isn't your standard, soulless, supermarket variety of white bread. This recipe will yield you 2 loaves of real white bread that works great for toast, sandwiches or stuffing. It's also a great base recipe to which you can add any number of flavors to take your bread to the next level.

Thai Basil Vinaigrette

An aromatic and refreshing vinaigrette that works great on a hot summer day. The pungent punch of the Thai Basil paired with the sour of rice wine vinegar and sweetness of honey yields a full flavored salad dressing

Shoyu Ponzu (Citrus-Soy Glaze)

A citrus/soy glaze that can be used as is or doctored with extra flavors to create your own, unique sauce. We use this as a common prepared ingredient in the Stella kitchen, using it as is, to season tartares and pokes, or any other application in which a salty-sweet flavor profile is called for.

Sushi Rice Seasoning Vinegar

The seasoning for sushi rice is different for each sushi chef, and the ratio at which they season their rice is usually a closely guarded secret. Here's what worked for me when I was rolling sushi, and at the very least, it will give you a good starting point to develop your own ratios to fit your taste preferences.

Spicy Peanut Dipping Sauce

This recipe was originally developed as a dipping sauce for our Thai Style French Fries served at Stella. This peanut sauce is a little thicker then normal and has a nice little kick to it. It will also go great with chicken, beef or pork, especially satay. Recipe yield is calculated in grams to make scaling easier. See notes section for portioning info.

Spicy Mustard Sauce

This sauce was originally developed as a trio of dipping sauces served with grilled pork lettuce wraps. Its a fairly universal sauce that goes great with sturdy salads and roasted meats such as chicken and pork.

Spätzle | Basic Recipe

Spätzle is a simple egg noodle, almost resembling a dumpling, that I first fell in love with while an exchange student in Germany. My host mother would always serve the Spätzle with some sort of meat and rich gravy that these delicious little noodles would absorb like sponges.

Sherry-Shallot Vinaigrette

This is one of my all time favorite vinaigrettes, and we use it so often at Stella, we've started referring to it internally as our "house vin." Between the bite of the sherry vinegar, the sweetness of the honey and the tang of the stone ground mustard, this dressing goes great with just about any variety of greens.

Savory Caramelized Onion Scone Recipe

This is a great savory scone recipe that is simple and quick to make. The addition of the caramelized onions adds depth of flavor, making these scones perfect for breakfast or an afternoon snack. No matter what time of day you choose to serve them, it is highly recommended that you accompany these scones with a strong cup of coffee.

Ponzu

This is one of most versatile Asian sauces we use here at Stella. It is great to add a citrus-soy sweet flavor to a number of ingredients.
