GOAT CHEESE! I had some mushroom caps stuffed with sausage and goat cheese. I have been on a goat cheese kick for a while now and think I can put it on almost anything lol |

Goat cheese is awesome. There is a farmers market in Berkeley where the farmers bring amazing goat cheese. Well, they sell it in farmers markets all over CA come to think of it. One farmer however rolls small rounds of the cheese in chopped dried apricots. It is crazy good. Try it with sun dried tomato's sometime. Great as a bread topping.

My goat cheese favorites: Thin slice beets and roast them for just long enough that they are juicy, but still crisp. Smear them with goats cheese and sprinkle with fine chopped basil. In the mushroom caps, yes! Baby bellas, stuffed with goat cheese, a slice of cherry tomato, and a bit of basil. Roast it and it's like you've got a stuffed lasagna bite. I really like it in quiche. I usually use a non-dairy milk, like almond, with the eggs and then whip in some soft goat cheese and then add in, depending on the season, asparagus, spinach, fresh herbs... Empanadas with black beans and goats cheese with some spicy salsa. Love the goat cheese! |

![]() When are you making this for me? I really want a stone wood fired oven of my own so that I can make pizza the right way. The ideal thing would be to have one in my backyard, but it would be smart to just open my own cafe and have something made for the place. My short term fantasy there is to be cooking pizza and breads in the oven all day long while the aroma wafts down the street and pulls people through the door causing such a long line that we have to do crowd control. LOL Yeah I can dream. But I like the idea. The thing is that with a wood fired oven you cant take your eyes off of the pizza because 20 seconds too long means that your creation goes "poof" up in flames. Kinda fascinating how that works.

You can bake the Paella in the cooler part of the wood fired oven though you would have to keep turning it like a pizza. Spanish food...aye..I have been wanting to make arroz amarillo con gambas al ajillo for weeks now. With some roasted red peppers chopped and mixed into the rice. Sort of a quick fix when I am craving Paella and dont have hours to prepare it. The sauce is so good that you can soak it up with a loaf of crusty tangy sourdough bread and still be craving for more.

I want a year round outdoor cooking station, so a nice big fire pit, would need some sort of roofing over it for rain/snow. Oh, and I need a Paella pan

My boss built a wood oven in his yard. He worked for years at Chez Panisse and wanted to recreate their oven. Every year we have our holiday party at his house and we make our own custom pizzas! It is super fun and I love watching the oven. The heat is intense! Looking forward to it this year!

Ask him if he knows the owner of Ici, my understanding is that she was the pastry chef for Chez Panisse for years. Have you been to Ici? Insanely good ice cream. Its on Telegraph Ave. There is always a line out the door. Her Burnt Caramel Ice Cream is downright seductive. Truly the store is a gem. They also make ice cream cones by hand. Do you have any favorite pizza combo's that you would like to share with us? Or recipes for a good dough?

My favorite is vegetarian. Like The Cheeseboard style. I like greens on a pizza. I like corn, cilantro, red onions and a squeeze of lime and light cheese!

Gryph had a couple bad gallbladder attacks and had to be off wheat and dairy for a while. He can handle hard cheeses okay now, but milk and butter are out of the question. I switched to coconut oil for the butter with no problem (and I'm about to find out how well it works in cookies and brownies) but I've been hesitant with the almond milk.

My experience with Almond Milk is that it can be a little thin. So depending on what I am using it for I may tweak the milk substitute a little bit. Well I tend not to use cows milk in a lot of things, but organic Almond, soy and rice milk can be hard to come by in some locations so there are challenges to that. As long as you do not need the milk to emulsify with anything like an egg yolk you should be ok. I am very interested in knowing how your coconut oil baking experiment turns out. Please keep us posted. And feel free to send samples *grin* (you knew that was coming, lol )

I have never used Hemp milk. Do you ever make your own milks? One of my concerns is that there is so much toxic soy milk on the market. People are trying to eat healthier by buying commercially produced mainstream soy products and they are buying poison. This is so frustrating to me. I am all for GMO and chemical labeling.

Not as often as I'd like to but I do at times. I have a vitamix which makes it easy. Our coop gets young coconuts sometimes so when they have them I make the coconut milk from them. Easy enough to make almond, etc in the vitamix. I just find it goes bad really fast so if I'm going to use it in 24 hours I'll make a batch in proportion to how much I will be able to use.
