Spanish Tortilla Bites with Winter Greens and Garlic
The Spanish Tortilla (or Tortilla Española) is not actually a tortilla at all--at least in the way most Americans understand the term. Instead, tortilla is a large, delicious frittata of eggs and potatoes. This fresh take on the classic Spanish dish is a great make-ahead, single-bite hors d'oeuvre for a cocktail party. The mild base ingredients are a great canvas for added layers of flavor, and, once you learn the technique, the variations are endless. It is delicious served warm, room temperature or even cold, and is a great, filling option for any gluten-free guests you might be catering to.
Endive Cups With Beet, Persimmon and Marinated Feta
This is a gorgeous, seasonal hors d'oeuvre that would be lovely on a table or as a passed appetizer. The tang of the feta compliments the sweetness of the salad and the bitterness of the endive leaf, and the jewel tones of the beet and persimmon make for a beautiful bite.

It's officially chili season. This version is packed with beef chuck, warm spices, and toasted chiles, with cubes of acorn squash adding a touch of sweetness and nutrition.
Salt-and-Pepper Shrimp
Crunchy shrimp (thanks for the help, cornstarch!) gets its zesty, floral heat from Sichuan peppercorns. It's hard to believe that a main course this complex comes together so quickly. We eat these guys shells and all, but you can sub in peeled shrimp instead.
Cabbage and Apple Salad
