Roasted figs dripping with Gorgonzola and hot nuts

ready for the oven

Can a recipe get any better than this: 3 ingredients, no special skills, and a big wow factor? I ate these gorgeous roasted figs earlier this year at Chef Kathy Casey's Food Studio in Ballard.

While there for a party, I won a copy of her cookbook Northwest Table and pulled it out for Thanksgiving appetizers. If you get her book, do yourself a favor and flip to page 49 and get working on her Overnight Rosemary Semolina Flat Bread. These are crackers taken to new heights. So good!

If you want to try some of Kathy’s appetizers yourself, without lifting a single spatula, stop by next Saturday.  Tons of foodie goodies will be for sale, Kathy will be signing copies of her book, Sips & Apps and serving some of the appetizers in the book including Bacon, Blue Cheese & Pecan Cocktail Cookies, Lamb "Sliders" on Homemade Rosemary Buns, and Croque Monsieur Puffs!
