Extra Virgin Olive Oil Recipes

Having co-authored an entire cookbook about Cooking Techniques and Recipes using Extra Virgin Olive Oil you know I've got some great ideas for you!

I'm especially fond of this Grilled Halloumi with Za’atar and Olive Oil as well as this Leftover Pulled Pork Quiche with Rosemary Olive Oil Pie Crust.  Both will quickly become favorites of yours too!

Enjoy!
