Parmesan-Rosemary Popovers

Garlic Shrimp with Chorizo
In honor of my recent trip to Barcelona, I put together a tapas night the other evening, setting out little plates of Spanish-inspired this and that and lots of napkins. It’s just about the easiest way to entertain good friends, … Continue reading
