ROSEMARY OLIVE OIL CAKE WITH LEMON BUTTERCREAM
When chef Anne Burrell got engaged to Stuart Claxton, she wanted a wedding with some traditional elements and some unexpected ones. Her six-tier cake was a perfect mix of the two: a creation straight out of a fairy tale - but with totally surprising flavors inside. She called on one of the most creative bakers she knows, her friend Buddy Valastro, to pull off the feat, and together they settled on this showstopper, made with rosemary olive oil cake and lemon buttercream. (To play up the harvest theme of the October event, Buddy decorated it with vegetables molded from Rice Krispies treats!) Here's a scaled-down cake recipe straight from Buddy so you can try it yourself.

Steps:
- Make the cake: Preheat the oven to 300˚ F. Coat two 8-inch round cake pans with cooking spray. Combine the sugar, 2 1/3 cups flour, the baking powder, salt and 2 egg yolks in a large bowl; beat with a mixer on medium-high speed until well mixed. Stream in 1 cup olive oil and mix about 30 seconds. Beat in the 3 whole eggs, one at a time. Stream in the milk and vanilla and mix until combined.
- In a separate bowl, combine the chopped rosemary, remaining 2 teaspoons olive oil and 3 teaspoons flour. Fold the rosemary mixture into the batter.
- Pour the batter into the cake pans. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the centers comes out clean, 20 to 30 minutes. Transfer to a rack and let cool completely in the pans.
- Make the lemon curd: In a small saucepan, combine 1/4 cup sugar, the egg yolk, lemon zest and juice, cornstarch and 1 tablespoon butter. Stir continuously with a rubber spatula until the mixture boils and thickens, about 1 minute. Transfer the lemon curd to a bowl and place a piece of plastic wrap directly on the surface to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate to cool.
- Make the buttercream: Set up a stand mixer with the whisk attachment. In a medium saucepan, heat the egg whites and remaining 1 cup sugar over medium heat until the mixture reaches 160˚ F and the sugar is dissolved. (You should not be able to feel any sugar granules and the mixture should be very warm, not hot, to the touch.)
- Pour the egg white mixture into the mixer bowl and whisk on medium-high speed until the meringue is three times its volume, holds firm peaks and has cooled to about 95˚ F, about 4 minutes. Beat in the remaining 4 sticks butter slowly, piece by piece, until smooth and blended. Beat in the salt and vanilla.
- Remove the lemon curd from the refrigerator and fold it into the buttercream until well combined.
- Assemble the cake: Transfer 1 cake layer to a cake plate. Spread some of the buttercream on top using an offset spatula. Top with the other cake layer. Cover the top and sides of the cake with a thin layer of buttercream (this is the crumb coat); refrigerate 15 to 20 minutes. Cover with the remaining buttercream.

Steps:
- Combine the olives, lemon zest, rosemary, and thyme in an attractive jar that has a cover. Bury the garlic clove in the center, add the oil, stir, cover, and refrigerate until you need it, up to several weeks. Give the mixture another stir now and then to blend. And try other flavors: herbs such as tarragon, other citrus peels, chilis, seasoned oils-whatever you like.
ROASTED HALIBUT WITH LEMONS, OLIVES AND ROSEMARY
Fish can be finicky dinner-party fare, especially for the distracted cook. Step away for a moment to sip your cocktail and your fillets might go from pearly to parched. This dish, though, inspired by one from Southern Italy, elegantly feeds a crowd. The fish, halibut, is seasoned with chile, salt and olive oil, then topped with rosemary, lemon and olives and roasted. It's a lighter main dish that won't leave anyone hungry.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 450 degrees. Place fish in a baking dish, brush fillets with 1 teaspoon of oil and season with salt and chile pepper. Top each fillet with a rosemary branch and several slices of lemon. Drizzle remaining oil over lemon slices and sprinkle with additional salt. Scatter olives over fish and pan.
- Bake until just opaque, about 10 minutes. If lemon slices have not browned or singed (this will depend on how thinly you slice them), place pan under broiler for 1 to 2 minutes. Serve drizzled with more olive oil; sprinkle with more salt and chili, if desired.

Tips:
- Use fresh herbs and citrus fruits: Fresh herbs and citrus fruits provide the best flavor for this recipe. If you can, use organic produce for the best results.
- Don't be afraid to experiment: This recipe is a great starting point, but feel free to experiment with different herbs, spices, and citrus fruits to find your favorite combination.
- Marinate the olives for at least 24 hours: The longer the olives marinate, the more flavorful they will be. If you're short on time, you can marinate them for as little as 12 hours, but 24 hours is ideal.
- Store the olives in a cool, dark place: Once the olives are marinated, store them in a cool, dark place for up to 2 weeks. They will continue to mellow and develop in flavor over time.

Citrus and rosemary olives are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. They are perfect for parties, potlucks, or simply enjoying at home. With their bright, citrusy flavor and herbaceous aroma, these olives are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
