Broiled Mushroom Appetizer
Ralph made these mushrooms many times as appetizers for parties, and they were always quickly eaten and much enjoyed.

Pesto
Ralph probably tried at least 2 dozen pesto recipes and he settled on the following two...

Salt Point Mushrooms
Recipe by Patrick Hamilton, S.F. Mycological Society. Ralph's comment: "I have eaten Chanterelles fixed several ways, and this recipe is, to my palate, the best I have ever tasted. It is served warm over fresh French or Italian bread slices."

Tomato Tart
Ralph loved Joan Sturm's great tomato tart, which is a wonderful appetizer or a simple accompaniment to a healthy salad designed as a main course.
