Sausage-Spiced Cauliflower Steaks

A quick spice blend of roasted fennel seeds, black pepper, and orange zest lend a sausage-like flavor to these roasted cauliflower steaks—without the meat. Browning the cauliflower before adding the toppings and melting the cheese ensures a tender, sweet, and nutty bite. Be sure to flip the cauliflower during roasting to ensure there are plenty of caramelized florets under the marinara and melty cheese.

Is there anything quite as sublime as perfectly pan seared scallops? A staple of many fine dining restaurants, both as an appetizer and an entree, it's a simple dish that can be made at home, though it can be tricky to execute well.

Here's the Secret to Organizing Your Recipes

I live at the base of Cookbook Mountain. It's a teetering stack (OK, stacks — like a range the size of the Rockies) of volumes including spiral-bound Junior League collections, vintage recipe pamphlets, monographs on the glories of okra, and chef manifestos so weighty they could double as a duck press. There are cookbooks everywhere in my apartment, loosely categorized in a way that would make the librarian nuns of my Catholic school youth once again sentence me to scribbling the Dewey Decimal system on the chalkboard until Judgment Day. Would they think this chaos was a waste of perfectly useful and educational volumes, not to mention space that could have been used for I dunno, a sad clown painting collection or walking through my apartment without tripping? No way on earth I'd actually know what was in all those pages, let alone use them for their intended purpose, right?

Here's the Secret to Organizing Your Recipes Eat Your Books is the key to unlocking the contents of your cookbooks, using your food magazines, and saving online recipes (and your own) in one place.
