Coconut Shortbread
An excerpt from
Every year I make this recipe just as summertime hits. The buttery texture makes it a great accompaniment for creamy desserts, like panna cotta or ice cream. Use this dough as a base for a tart or just as it is. This buttery cookie is delicious either way.

This is a complete and filling bowl of foodeasy to prepare and attractive, to boot. The couscous here brings an added dimension, but if you make it with bulgur wheat instead of couscous, your GI and GL scores will fall*.
Method
1. Place the couscous in a bowl and add the boiling water. Cover and set aside for 5 minutes. When ready, fork through and add the remaining ingredients, tofu last, and fold gently.

1. Preheat the oven to 325F. Lightly coat a baking sheet with cooking spray. 2. In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and confectioners sugar until softened. Beat in the flour, coconut, salt, and vanilla until combined. 3. Roll out to a rectangle 12 inch thick and cut the dough into bars 2 12 inches long by 1 inch wide. Transfer the bars to the baking sheet. Sprinkle granulated sugar on top and bake for 10 minutes. Rotate the pan front to bake and continue to bake light golden brown, about 5 minutes longer. Cool the cookies on a cooling rack.
Ingredients
Scant 2 ounces instant couscous 3 tablespoons boiling water 1 teaspoon lemon juice 1 teaspoon mirin 2 scallions (green onions), sliced on a diagonal 3 cherry tomatoes, quartered 1 small zucchini, finely chopped 2 tablespoons pine nuts 1 teaspoon sesame seeds Salt and pepper A handful of flat-leaf parsley, chopped 3 ounces ready-marinated tofu
Makes 24 cookies
Nutritional Bonus: This supper provides nearly half a womans recommended daily amount of iron.
*There is good evidence that restricting your calorie intake, and in particular your carbohydrate intake, for a couple of days a week will improve insulin sensitivity and cut levels of circulating insulin. The recipes in The FastDiet Cookbook are based on that approach, referencing the glycemic index (GI) and glycemic load (GL) of the ingredients. The GI rating measures the effect of a food on blood sugar relative to pure glucose (which scores 100). The GL takes into account how much of carbohydrate is in a food. Watermelon, for example, has a high GI but a relatively low GL, as its mostly water.
Ingredients
Cooking spray 1 pound (4 sticks) cold butter, cubed

Chef it up!
A really easy way to fancy-up shortbread is to use a shortbread mold. The shortbread you see in the photo was made in an 11 12inch round mold with a heart design. The mold is also scored for perfect portioning of the cookie. Just press the dough into the mold with your fingertips and bake until light golden brown. Theres nothing like a baking tool that does all the decorating work for you!

Its not often that the Valastros take their hats off to another persons dessert, but Joe Park Casino was such a terrific chef that we had to give it up even for the sweet stuff he served at his catering hall. This chocolate mousse was part of all the Venetian Hours, when a dessert buffet was served, at the Park Casino. When we were kids, my cousin Frankie and I used to run around eating as many servings as we could get our hands on. Its hard to believe its made with plain old Hersheys syrup, but it really is a heavenly mousse with the chocolate and cream in perfect balance.
Serves 6 Prep Time: 5 minutes Cook Time: 5 to 7 minutes
This recipe mash-up combines the best elements of mojitos and chocolate chip cookies in one! The lime zest adds beautiful green flecks to an otherwise seemingly average cookie. Serve these at your next cocktail party for a sweet surprise.
Method
1. To make the cookies: Preheat oven to 350F. Line 2 or 3 large baking sheets with parchment paper or Silpat. 2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. MAKES ABOUT FORTY-SIX 2 12-INCH COOKIES 3. Using a stand or hand mixer, beat margarine until light and fluffy. Add powdered sugar, brown sugar, rum, and mint extract, and beat until combined. Mix in the flour mixture 12 cup at a time, then add zest and chocolate chips. Mix until combined. 4. To make the topping: Combine sugar and lime zest in a small bowl. 5. To bake the cookies: Scoop about 1 rounded tablespoon of dough at a time, and roll each scoop in the topping. Place on the prepared baking sheets, dome side up, leaving about 2 inches between each scoop. For crisper cookies, gently flatten the dough with the palm of your hand. For softer cookies, leave the scoop as is. Bake for about 12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned. Let cool on the pan.
method
1. In a chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream and sugar with a hand mixer until stiff peaksform. Use a rubber spatula to fold in the chocolate syrup, cocoa powder, and crme de cacao. 2. Divide among 6 glass bowls and chill for 1 hour, or up to 4 hours, to let the cream set. Serve chilled.

Cooking eggplant seems difficult and labor intensive, doesnt it? Well, here its not. You can also spread this on a slice of crusty country bread or use as a pasta sauce. Or fab leftovers. Buy eggplant that is smooth-skinned, evenly firm, and without soft spots. Store in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days.
2. Lightly coat the squash slices with EVOO. Season with the nutmeg, salt, and pepper and spread the rings out on a baking sheet. Roast until tender and browned at the edges, 18 to 22 minutes. 3. Meanwhile, heat the butter in a skillet over medium heat until it foams. Increase the heat a touch and add the sage leaves. Cook until crisp. Transfer to paper towels to drain. Chop the sage leaves and reserve the browned butter separately. SERVES 4 4. In a large bowl, combine the veal and beef with the chopped crispy sage, garlic, and Parmigiano-Reggiano; season with salt and pepper and mix thoroughly. Score the mixture into 4 equal pieces and form them into patties slightly thinner at the center than at the edges for even cooking and to ensure a flat surface (burgers plump as they cook). Drizzle the patties with EVOO. 5. Heat a griddle or large cast-iron skillet over mediumhigh heat. Cook the burgers, flipping once and basting with the reserved sage butter, 10 minutes for medium (adjust the cooking time for rarer or more well done burgers). 6. Top the burgers with Fontina during the last minute or two of cooking, tenting the pan with aluminum foil, if you like, to help melt the cheese. 7. Drizzle the cooked squash with honey. Place the burgers on the roll bottoms and top with the squash. Set the bun tops in place.
Method
Actual work time: 10 minutes Total time: 1 hour 10 minutes Yield: 4 sides or 2 main dishes 1. Heat the oven (with the oven rack in the middle) to 400F. Wash the eggplant. Cut off and discard the stem. Next, cut the eggplant into 1-inch-thick rounds. Stack 2 rounds at a time A, then cut into 1-inch cubes. Smash the garlic and peel. 2. Place the eggplant and garlic in a 2 12- to 3-qt. baking dish. Wash the tomatoes and thyme and add to the dish. Drizzle with the oil and sprinkle with the salt, red pepper, and black pepper (about 12 turns on a pepper mill). Toss together with your hands until the eggplant is coated with oil (a little overcrowding in the dish is okay). 3. Roast until the eggplant is really soft and tender, 50 to 60 minutes. (Set your timer, and at 40 minutes, give the vegetables a quick stir.)

Method
No Southern meal is complete without greens. Traditionally, theyre simmered long and slow until melty and soft. I love em that way, but actually prefer a little bite to themboth in their mustardy flavor and hearty leafy texture. Growing up in the South, I learned that the greens were sometimes besides the point. The pot likkerthe leftover cooking brothis what really matters, at least as much as the greens themselves. Traditionally, salt pork simmers alongside the greens to flavor the likker. I use smoked turkey wings to get a broth thats just as tasty but has even more complex gamey, savory flavors. Be sure to serve this with Skillet Cornbread for sopping. And save any leftover likker to make soup. 1. Preheat oven to 500F. 2. Measure flour into a large bowl. 3. Incorporate the butter and then the cheese into the flour, using your fingers to cut the butter and cheese into the flour until the mixture resembles cottage cheese. It will be chunky with some loose flour. 4. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture. 5. Add the buttermilk and using your hands mix the flour into the buttermilk. The dough will be wet and the mixture messy. 6. Sprinkle flour on top of the dough in the bowl. Run a rubber spatula around inside of the bowl, creating a separation between the dough and the side of the bowl. Then sprinkle a bit more flour in the crease. 7. Flour a flat surface or a flexible baking mat very well. Then with force dump the dough from the bowl to the middle of the surface. 8. Flour the top of the dough and the rolling pin. 9. Roll out the dough to a 12-inch thickness. (No kneading is necessarythe less you mess with the dough the better.) 10. Flour a 2-inch round metal biscuit cutter or biscuit glass. Start from the edge of the rolled-out dough and cut straight through the dough with the cutter or glass. As long as the dough stays wet inside, you can use as much flour as you need to handle the dough on the outside. 11. Place biscuits in a cast iron skillet or baking pan with their sides touching. 12. Brush with melted butter. 13. Reduce oven temperature to 425F and bake 1618 minutes, rotating the pan once while baking.
SERVES 8
Ingredients
2 pounds smoked turkey wings 1 teaspoon minced garlic 1 teaspoon crushed red chile flakes 2 quarts water 2 pounds collard greens, rinsed and dried 2 pounds kale, rinsed and dried Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Method
1. In a large pot, combine the turkey, garlic, chile flakes, and water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to simmer for 30 minutes. 2. Meanwhile, prepare the greens: Working in batches, hold the stems of the collards with one hand and the leaves with the other, folding up the leaves together like the wings on a butterfly. Pull the leaves down, leaving the stem clean. If the leaves are really large, cut them down the center. Stack a few leaves, then roll them like a cigar. Slice the roll into thin shreds. Repeat with the remaining collard leaves, then with the kale. 3. Add the sliced greens to the pot and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. 4. Remove the wings and let cool until you can handle them. Pull the meat from the wings, discard the bones, and return the meat to the pot. Serve hot.
Ingredients
2 cups self-rising flour, White Lily brand preferred, plus more for dusting 4 tablespoons room-temperature butter, cut into small cubes

This is the recipe that started it all. Sitting in my mothers kitchen and watching her prepare the pans of these highly sought-after, melt-in-yourmouth bites of goodness for her catering business gave me the lightning bolt of inspiration for Callies Charleston Biscuits. It took some convincing to persuade my mother that a biscuit business was a good idea. She was under the impression people still made their own biscuits! I dont think she ever dreamed that in a matter of a few short years, wed be making 65,000 biscuits a month and Id be featured on The Martha Stewart Show.
