Yum! So important to have make-ahead dishes for parties, or else the host misses out on the fun! This ricotta reminds me of Andrew Carmellini’s recipe in Urban Italian—he whips some milk into sheep’s-milk ricotta with thyme and olive oil, and it’s sooo delicious.
Maggie! Just looked up that recipe-which I somehow never noticed- it looks good, real good. Will try that net time. Whipping some milk into the ricotta must be nice.
Yummy deliciousness. Your photos are genius – so beautiful. But I have a request… because I’m difficult that way, and I want what I want. ;) How about some photos with some real live people? I like seeing people enjoying good food.
Wow! What wonderful nibbles. And I just love the tomato Idea. I bet it’d work great with large cherry tomatoes too. This is really the best way to eat!
Each is so delicious on its own, and they’re dreamy in any combination. Perfect! Such a wnonderful party from start to finish…that miracle fruit is amazing.

I love these kind of appetizers at a dinner party. I served a fig and olive tapenade this weekend that was a hit. I love oven roasted tomatoes, too!
