• Hi there, my name is Heidi Swanson. 101 Cookbooks is my recipe journal. It's where I write about the recipes that intersect my life, travels, and everyday interests. Often the recipes are from my cookbook collection, sometimes not - they might come from a friend, or I might write about a recipe I created myself.
  
  I focus primarily on natural, whole foods and ingredients - vegetarian recipes that are good for you and for the planet. Welcome!

So simple, yet so good.

It doesn't get much better than this. The concept for this recipe is simple and adds a fresh twist to grilled corn-on-the-cob. You mix up a dash of cayenne with some sour cream. The recipe calls for 1/8 tsp. for 1 cup of sour cream. I used 1/4 tsp. and may even go for 1/2 tsp. next time.

Next, I shaved a bunch of parmesan into a long flat bowl.

When the corn came off the grill, I just pulled back the husks, used a pastry brush to slather the corn with a layer of the cayenne sour cream, and then rolled it all in the parmesan cheese.

This was delicious! One of my favorite new recipe discoveries.
