• Fresh figs with goat cheese and peppered honey

Figs seem to be something of a rarity, especially around here. No sign of them at our farmers' market, meaning they probably don't grow anywhere even remotely near here. But I was lucky enough to spot a pint of fresh figs one week at Trader Joes (where they've since disappeared) and made darn sure they didn't go to waste. This recipe is simple. Almost too simple, you might think. It doesn't require any heat whatsoever, and very little effort beyond slicing the figs and mixing a bit of honey with some freshly cracked pepper. But boy does it taste good. You know I'm a sucker for anything with goat cheese in it, but a juicy fig, drizzled with a sweet and surprising peppered honey, well, we could have easily made an entire meal (or even dessert) out of just this. In Taylor's words, all you need is a bit of prosciutto and you'd be set (me, I was plenty happy without the prosciutto, but, you know Taylor, he thinks anything is better when it's wrapped/stuffed/sauteed with a bit of pork).
