WOODMAN CHEESE AND CRACKERS
When SFMOMA presented the first Francesca Woodman retrospective in the United States in over two decades, I was excited to immerse myself in the work of another influential female photographer whom I studied in college. I love Woodman's juxtaposition of textures, her way of placing soft and vulnerable human forms in withered, deteriorating environments. My plan was to base a dessert on a photograph with this type of contrast. Of all of the images in the show, the one of the artist wearing a Victorian-style floral coat and flowing dress while posing in a crumbling room was my favorite. At the time the Woodman retrospective opened, I had just returned from a vacation in Scandinavia where I would have been happy to live on only Norwegian hardtack, rye bread, soft cheeses, and smoked salmon. The combination of hearty rusticity and soft refinement of these foods were like elements in the Woodman photo: I saw the crumbling room as a cracker made with whole wheat and rye; her flowing skirt as soft cheese; and the pattern on her coat as beautiful, delicate edible flowers. To create a tender cracker with the heartiness of my Norwegian inspiration, I used two types of rustic flour and incorporated the butter using the same technique that's used to make flaky pie dough. A little bit of yogurt added tang and tenderness to the cracker. To slather onto the crackers, I wanted a soft-textured fresh cheese that was simple to make in our tiny kitchen. Ricotta cheese was just the type. A sprinkling of colorful edible flowers from Leah's garden and a touch of black Hawaiian sea salt perfected the rustic-elegant presentation of the Woodman Cheese and Crackers.

Steps:
- To make the ricotta cheese, line a colander with a double layer of cheesecloth and set the colander over a bowl.
- Combine the milk, cream, and salt in a small saucepan and cook over medium-low heat, stirring often to prevent scorching, until the mixture registers 190°F on a digital thermometer.
- Remove the pan from the heat and gently stir in the lemon juice. Let stand for 5 minutes, and then pour the curds and whey through the cheesecloth-lined colander. Let drain at room temperature until the cheese is thick and spreadable, about 1 hour.
- Transfer the cheese to a container, cover tightly, and refrigerate.
- Combine the whole wheat flour, rye flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, and caraway seeds in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix briefly on low speed to blend. Add the butter and mix on low speed until the mixture resembles coarse meal, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the yogurt and continue mixing just until the dough comes together into a ball, 10 to 20 seconds.
- Turn out the dough onto a large sheet of parchment paper and press it into a flat, even rectangle measuring about 5 by 6 inches. Lay a second sheet of parchment paper on top and roll out the dough to an even 1/8-inch thickness. Remove the top sheet of parchment and, using a chef's knife, cut the dough into rough 2 by 4-inch rectangles. The dough will be sticky, so don't try to remove the rectangles until after chilling. Slide the parchment with the dough onto a baking sheet and refrigerate until the dough is firm, at least 30 minutes or up to 1 week.
- To make the crackers, position racks in upper and lower thirds of the oven. Preheat the oven to 400°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Using a small spatula, carefully remove the crackers and place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them 1 inch apart.
- Bake, rotating the baking sheets midway through baking, until the crackers are golden brown and crisp, 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes on the baking sheets, and then use a spatula to transfer the crackers to a wire rack to finish cooling.
- To serve, spread a layer of ricotta cheese about 1/8 inch thick onto each cracker. Scatter a few edible flowers over the ricotta and sprinkle with sea salt.

CHEESE CRACKERS
Cheddar crackers. Cheese wafers. Coins, biscuits, straws and crisps. Known by many names and claimed by many grandmothers, they are all the same, delicious thing: a savory, addictive, shortbread cookie. The key to any short dough - that distinctive tender sandy crumbly texture - is the high fat-to-flour ratio, and this version not only relies on butter but also counts on the delicious fats that come from sesame seeds, block Cheddar and even the oil from the pecans. For a remarkable distinction among the many, many versions of these to be found, toast them until just passing golden into brown, and see how that in itself sets these apart.

Steps:
- Add the flour, both cheeses, salt and cayenne to the bowl of a food processor, and pulse until combined.
- Scatter the cold butter chunks on top, and pulse again to form coarse crumbs.
- Add egg yolk, pecans and seeds, and pulse to combine thoroughly, yielding a coarse grainy meal.
- Transfer mixture to a large stainless-steel bowl. Sprinkle the ice water on top, and knead briefly to bring the dough together, as you would a pie dough.
- Divide the dough into thirds, and roll each into a neat, 8-inch-long cylinder that is about the width of a silver dollar. Wrap each log in plastic wrap, and twist the ends tightly in opposite directions, forming a perfect and compact torchon. Refrigerate until well chilled and completely firm; overnight is ideal.
- Heat the oven to 375. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or nonstick baking mats. Unwrap the dough, discarding plastic wrap, and slice the logs into thin coins, each about the width of a pencil.
- Arrange the coins in neat rows on the prepared sheets, making sure they're not quite touching one another. This dough won't expand or flatten after baking.
- Bake until golden at their centers and just starting to toast at their edges, about 20 minutes. Check them midway through baking, and rotate sheets if your oven bakes unevenly.
- Transfer the baking sheets to wire racks to cool. Once they are fully cooled, transfer coins to an airtight container, where they will keep for up to 3 weeks.

HOMEMADE GARLICKY CHEESE CRACKERS
Making cheese crackers at home may sound daunting but actually they are quite easy. They require a little more work, then they're worth it. Crackers don't need to be an afterthought. These particular crackers are definitely worthy of their own place on your menu. No weird ingredients or fancy kitchen gadgets needed. You only need some ingredients that you probably have in your kitchen all the time, a cookie cutter, and an oven. That's all! These are super crispy, buttery, and perfect for a snack but if topped and loaded with cheese and herbs, ideal as a side dish.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Place flour, sugar, baking powder, garlic powder, salt, and dill in the bowl of a food processor and pulse to combine or you can mix manually as well. Add 4 tablespoons melted butter and vegetable oil and pulse to combine.
- With food processor on low speed, slowly drizzle in water until the dough begins to form a ball. Remove dough from food processor and cover with a plastic wrap. Let rest for 10 minutes.
- Roll out dough as thin as possible on a lightly floured surface; thinner than pie crust if possible, thin like crepes works best. Cut the dough into your desired shapes with a cookie cutter, or cut with a knife or pizza cutter and arrange on the prepared baking sheet. Let it rest for another 10 minutes.
- Using a toothpick, prick several holes in each cracker. Don't skip this step; you will not have nice, flat crackers if you skip.
- Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 10 minutes. Remove from the oven, brush the tops with remaining melted butter, and immediately sprinkle with coarse sea salt. Remove from baking sheets and allow to cool completely on a wire rack.
- While crackers cool, prepare cheese topping: Mix mascarpone, Cheddar, and Parmesan cheeses with parsley, oregano, thyme, rosemary, and pepper. Sprinkle over crackers and serve.

CAYENNE CHEESE CRACKERS
My family loves these more than Cheez-its. I like to make them as snacks. Make sure you refrigerate them overnight, or the crisp just won't be there. Extra sharp cheddar is a must! Silpat mats come in handy for these.

Author Charlotte PalerminoPublished 2014-03-04Estimated Reading Time 6 mins
- Bruschetta Crackers. Yes, bruschetta is the equivalent of Italian salsa, but when done right, it's a bright medley that makes you forget you'll be reeking of garlic and onion for the rest of the afternoon.
- Brooklyn BLT Crackers. It's not really a BLT, but it's better, because it has kale, maple syrup, and bacon. Fry up 6 pieces of bacon, getting them as crispy as possible.
- Parsley and Lemon Cream Cheese With Cucumber. If one were to put Kate Middleton on a cracker, this would be it — simple, elegant, and a little bit fancy.
- Guac and Crackers (With Queso Fresco) Guac and chips is a trap. There is never, repeat, never enough guac. Guac-to-chip ratios are always dismal, so here is a recipe to ensure you get optimal portions of the green stuff.
- Chorizo and Tapenade Crackers. This is for the meat lover. These crackers can be topped with either tapenade or grainy mustard. Dealer's choice. Heat a non-stick pan on medium/high heat.
- Caprese Cracker. This mini mozzarella salad is exactly what you think it is. And yes, it's delicious. Grab three plum tomatoes and slice thinly crosswise so you have 12 slices.
- Sweet Potato Puree and Cilantro Cracker. Sweet potato is a magical thing. This root vegetable is good for you, delicious, easy to cook, and pairs with just about anything.
- Lox Cracker. It's like bagels and lox, but conveniently placed on an edible plate you can shove into your face. Finely chop 2 ounces dill and put into a mixing bowl along with 8 ounces cream cheese, salt, and the juice from 1 lemon.
- Ricotta and Honey Cracker. Cheese and honey is one of those matches that makes you feel really, really bad for the lactose intolerant people in your life.
