"stack" news and stories

It's been unseasonably warm here in Philadelphia for the last few days and so my thoughts are turning to foods available in the spring and summer. I think that our warm temperatures are part of why this image of a sliced tomato stacked with rounds of fresh mozzarella called out to me so much. I would like one, please (right now)!

Millefeuille is a French term meaning "one thousand layers." It is most often used to describe a dessert made with layers of puff pastry and sweetened whipped cream that is also known as a napoleon, but, more generally, it can be applied to any dish that is stacked in layers. This gorgeous millefeuille is from the Tartine Gourmande and though the name sounds fancy, it is not a difficult dish to construct a home, or even to make your own variation on. It is essentially a stacked salad with avocado slices, grapefruit slices and lightly cooked shrimp, drizzled with olive oil. The colors make this an ideal springtime dish, bright and sunny, and the perfect thing to serve at a garden party.
