Recipe and photos By Cody Owens I’m a big fan of foods that seem fancy but in reality are pretty simple. A well-executed French omelet, crab legs, tartines, a cheese board, mussels in white wine sauce . . . you get the idea. At least for me, eating these kinds of foods brings with it a certain level of, “Wow! Look at me! I’m so fancy!” but also the realization that just about anyone can make them with a little practice. This Tomato Confit and Whipped Feta recipe definitely checks all those…

Up your appetizer game with a sweet and spicy whipped feta crostini, complete with hot honey and Sriracha sauce. Laid back enough to serve for a football game, but classy enough to be part of a charcuterie board, we’re big fans of crostini's casual elegance. What are crostini? Crostini are small, almost bite-sized pieces of toasted bread, commonly found in Italian appetizer courses. You can top crostini with a variety of cheeses, cured meats, fruit spreads and more.

Steak Frites for ep.4 of my restaurant series ♥️. This was the first sauce I learned to cook while working in the industry and I made it no less than 50 times before I was allowed to serve it to guests 😂. I’ve taken some liberties with the Bernie clearly…but I love it this way!
