Salsa Palermitana (Palermo-Style Sauce)

Sautéed garlic, rich green Sicilian olive oil, briny capers and olives, tomatoes, fresh oregano, lemon juice and lemon oil from the lemon creates a true flavor explosion that’s as wonderful on pasta as it is on grilled or roasted fish.

These soft chocolate cookies have a big peanut flavor since they use peanut butter and peanut butter chips.

Fig ‘n’ Flax Thumbprint Cookies

We love how the ground flax adds a nutty flavor and the brown sugar caramelizes on the outside of these thumbprint cookies. Fig preserves make this cookie special; other fruit preserves could be used as well.
