Salads and Dressings
Even with the grand variety of salad dressings in the store today, nothing tastes as good or as fresh as one you make yourself. Use these salad and dressing recipes from igourmet to create a delicious start to any meal or a satisfying light sauce.
Light Meals

Fondues
Classic fondue is a Swiss dish made with Gruyere and Emmental cheeses, white wine, garlic and nutmeg.Gather around a pot of fondue on a blustery night with friends and dip chunks of crusty bread into this melty, delicious goo; or make it the conversation piece at your next party.
Pastas
In Italy, pasta is served as the first dish of a meal. In the United States, it's often what's for dinner. No matter how you serve it, these recipes will help you move beyond the basic marinara and meat sauces. Don't forget the Parmigiano Reggiano!
Risottos
Risotto is made using a medium-grain rice, called arborio, which has a very high starch content. As the rice is cooked, this starch is released in the cooking liquid to create a rich, creamy dish that is absolutely delicious. Risotto can be made with everything from strawberries to seafood and served as any dish from appetizer to dessert.
Vegetarian Entrées
Meatless meals are not just for vegetarians anymore. Now, even the most amorous of meat lovers will eat a pizza with porcini mushrooms and artichokes…hold the pepperoni. A pasta dish or salad made with only fresh vegetables and cheese can make a perfectly satisfying meal. Visit this page to see a plethora of other meatless options.
Poultry
The uses for chicken, turkey, duck, and game birds are endless. This recipe section gives you an introduction to what can be done with poultry and cheese. If you are wondering what to do with your chicken tonight, try our piquillo peppers stuffed with chicken and goat cheese or Jarlsberg chicken with spinach and potatoes.
Meats
From Veal with Olives to Filet Mignon with Gorgonzola this page offers some of our most indulgent entrees. These rich meats pair wonderfully with our stronger cheeses to create unforgettable dishes.
Seafood
Surprisingly enough, fish and cheeses can be combined flawlessly. Fresh, mild cheese can be added to cream sauces made with fresh herbs to give them an extra kick. Aged cheeses can be used in coatings for pan-fried fish to make them crisp and delicious. Finally, what would shellfish past be without shavings of Parmigiano Reggiano.
Side Dishes
We like to think of side dishes as accessories, things that make meals complete. This page will help you dress up your vegetables, potatoes, and rice into plates that will really compliment your entrée.
Desserts
No meal is complete without a bite of something sweet at the finish. If chocolate is your weakness, try the flourless chocolate torte, or if you are looking for something light and fruity, make our simple key lime pie.
