Stilton Green Peppercorn Sauce
"This classic recipe is from the December 1993 issue of Gourmet Magazine. A perfect sauce for a grilled Rib-Eye Steak. You can also use this a sauce for pasta, broccoli, or green beans. In the spirit of flexibility you could subsitute Roquefort or Gorgonzola for the Stilton. Warning: this is NOT diet food."

Awesome sauce - was a hit at the dinner party when served with Rib Eye steaks... I used Gorgonzola instead of stilton - it was divine!!

I am a classically trained chef and a grad of NECI in Vermont. I ran my own catering company for years and then decided to switch gears and go to law school. I now practice law and cook just for fun.
I enjoy cooking for friends and DH and I entertain regularly. I also cook for my three golden retrievers and have found several wonderful biscuit recipes here at Zaar.
I collect cookbooks and food literature. My all time favourite food writer is MFK Fisher. If you have not read it, I commend her short story "Borderland " to you. It is one of the most evocative pieces of food writing ever. My current favourite cookbook is "Urban Italian - Simple Recipes and True Stories from a Life in Food" by Andrew Carmelini.
For years I managed to hang on to all of my back issues of Gourmet some of which date back to the 1980's. Sadly, I recently lost that particular battle and to promote marital harmony, I am recycling my old mags but am posting my favorite Gourmet recipes along with some interesting ones worthy of a test drive.
