Around the Table by Shea McGee
Here’s a book I thought I would not like. The recipes are mostly amazing. (The tablescape guide, not so much). I am working my way through McGee’s recipes and sharing some thoughts today.
Spiced Nuts
I found so many worthy recipes in the December 2003 vintage Gourmet that it was hard to know where to start backing.
Charcuterie Salsa
The original recipe (once more from Martha Stewart Living November 2021 edition) is entitled Sweet-and-Tangy Relish. I honestly didn’t find anything sweet tasting about it (but we did love it).

Spicy-Cheesy Black-Eyed Pea Dip
I have been posting black-eyed pea dips and appetizers on New Year’s for quite a few years. Some of these are creamy and served hot and some are cold or at room temperature. Honestly, I was never a black-eyed pea fan growing up, but I am now. I love creating these new recipes that…
