Steps:
- In a small bowl, toss the mushrooms with the lemon juice and set aside.
- In a medium-size saucepan, combine the cream with the rosemary, bruising the rosemary in several places with a wooden spoon. Bring to a simmer, cover and cook gently for 15 minutes over medium-low heat.
- Fill a large pot with water and bring it to a boil.
- Meanwhile, in a medium-size skillet, heat the butter and oil over medium-high heat just until the butter foams. Stir in the onion and saute it for five to six minutes until soft and translucent. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds longer. Stir in the mushrooms and cook over medium heat for three to four minutes. Season with salt and plenty of fresh pepper. Add the chopped tomatoes and cream and leave on low heat.
- Add salt to the boiling water, then cook the fettuccine until it is al dente, approximately one minute, and drain. Transfer the pasta to a warmed serving platter, ladle on the rosemary-cream mixture and about half the grated cheese. Toss and taste, adding more pepper if needed. Divide the fettuccine equally among six heated plates, placing plenty of the mushroom-tomato mixture and a small sprig of rosemary in the center of the pasta. Serve at once. Pass the remaining cheese and a pepper mill at the table.

TOMATO TORTE
Excellent dish when tomatoes are in season. To cut calories I sometimes use fat-free mayo and cheese and it is still wonderful. 8/31/07 After reading the recent review, I realized I failed to mention that you should let this set about ten minutes after removing from oven.

CHEESE, PESTO AND SUN-DRIED TOMATO TORTA
I make this for a potlucks or parties, so often I assemble a tiny one in a mini-loaf pan for the two of us. If there are any leftovers, they go great on bagels. I sometimes take small disposable containers so people can take some home with them. If you want to use pre-made pesto, 3/4-1 cup should be enough for this dish. I usually serve it with assorted crackers, but it goes well on toasted baguette slices and mini-bagels too. It takes awhile to assemble, but cooking time is simply chilling time.

INDIVIDUAL PEACH SHORTCAKES
Steps:
- To prepare the shortcakes, preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Position the rack in the center of the oven.
- In a medium-size bowl, sift the sugar, flours, cream of tartar, baking soda, salt and nutmeg. Using a pastry blender, two knives or your fingers, cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Add the cream and milk and stir until the mixture forms a soft dough. Do not overwork.
- Roll out the dough on a floured surface, using a lightly floured rolling pin. Roll to a thickness of three-quarters of an inch. Using a cookie cutter, cut out four circles about three to three-and-a-half inches in diameter. Gather the scraps into a ball and reroll for the remaining two circles. The dough can also be shaped into circles by patting with floured hands. Place on a cookie sheet.
- Bake until the shortcakes are golden brown, about 12 to 15 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven and let cool.
- To make the peach filling, combine the sugar, water and vanilla in a medium-size saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Stir to dissolve the sugar. Lower the heat so the liquid is just simmering. Add the whole peaches and cover with a damp cloth to keep the peaches from drying out on top. Simmer until the peaches are just tender, about 10 to 15 minutes.
- Remove the peaches from the syrup and let them cool slightly. Remove the skins with a paring knife or your hands.
- In a chilled bowl, combine the vanilla, heavy cream and confectioners' sugar, and beat into soft peaks.
- Split the shortcakes horizontally. Cut the peaches in half, removing the pit. Cut each peach half into four sections. Moisten the shortcakes with a small amount of the poaching liquid, then arrange the peaches on the bottom half of each shortcake. Spoon on a large dollop of whipped cream and place the lid on top. Garnish with a small dollop of cream.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Butter a nine-inch springform pan. Cut a round disk of baking parchment to fit the bottom.
- Place the walnuts and a half-cup of unsifted flour in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a metal blade. Pulse until the nuts are chopped to a medium size. Set aside.
- Combine the tomato puree with the vinegar and set aside.
- Sift the remaining flour with the baking powder, salt and spices in a triple sifter and set aside.
- Put the eggs into the large bowl of an electric mixer. Beat on high speed until thickened and light in color - about two minutes. Gradually add the brown sugar and beat for five minutes longer. The mixture will be very thick.
- Reduce the speed to medium-high and blend in the orange rind and vanilla. Add the dry ingredients alternately with the tomato puree, dividing the flour into three parts and the puree into two parts. Start and end with flour. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed. The batter will be very loose. Pour in the butter and quickly add the chopped nuts. Beat just to blend, then immediately pour it into the prepared pan. Bake for 55 to 60 minutes. The cake is done when the top is golden brown, springy to the touch, and the sides come away from the pan. Test by inserting a toothpick into the center. It should come out dry.
- Remove from the oven and set on a cake rack to cool completely. Just before serving, dust the top with confectioners' sugar. Or, if desired, split the torte into two or three layers, using a long serrated bread knife, and fill and frost with sweetened whipped cream. Garnish with a few chopped walnuts.
