Squash Blossom and Zucchini Ricotta Tart

July 5, 2021 by TheRunawaySpoon Leave a Comment

Squash blossoms get me more excited than just about any other summer produce. They are not always easy to come by, so maybe the scarcity ups the intrigue. I have a vert good source now though at a local farmers market who keeps me supplied, but I still get giddy every time I see them. Sometimes I even overbuy! Just this past weekend, as I waited for my turn to buy some … [Read more...] about Squash Blossom and Zucchini Ricotta Tart

Squash Blossom Pasta Butter

I adore squash blossoms. A few local farmers market vendors sell them here, and I always buy as many as they have for sale.

I love squash blossoms, as I have said before.  So imagine my delight on my recent trip to Tepotzlan in the central mountains of Mexico, to find squash blossoms used in a huge variety of dishes.  I had freshly made quesadillas with Oaxaca cheese for breakfast each morning, and stalls in the market offered sautéed squash blossoms as an add-in for tacos.  The … [Read more...] about Squash Blossom Quesadillas with Summer Squash Salsa

Squash Blossom Bisque

After last summer’s successful experiment with Squash Blossom Pesto, I have been thinking all winter of other ways to use the lovely summer blooms, and soup is the perfect choice.  This lovely, bright, sunny soup is very simple – I experimented with more complicated versions, using garlic and herbs and other ingredients, but I find too many elements mask the fresh, lightly … [Read more...] about Squash Blossom Bisque

I'm P.C. I think I am like most people. Somewhere in the middle between food snob and food schlub. Just being in the kitchen makes me happy. I live, mostly in my kitchen, in my hometown of Memphis, Tennessee.
