Valentine’s Menus for Every Stage of Romance

It is time to cook dinner for your sweetheart. It should be easy. Stress is not romantic. It should make your house smell good. It should be delicious, but not something that inspires gluttony.

Beautiful Five Bean Stew

This is the patron recipe of working single mothers and students working to put themselves through college. It is simple, healthful, cheap.

Curried Broccoli Soup with Cashew Cream (vegan)

I have a broccoli soup recipe from the New Vegetarian Epicure which I absolutely adore. I was not on the prowl for a new broccoli soup, but…

Butter Cookies with Chocolate Hazelnut Filling (Gluten-Free)

Before giving up gluten, I was big cookie lover. I used to know where to get the kind of crispy, buttery chocolate chip cookie that I like, in almost every neighborhood in Manhattan. It was a survival mechanism.

Mona’s Gingercake (and a Gluten-Free, Vegan version)

I once made about a dozen gingerbread recipes and invited my friends over to taste all of them. It was an obsessive episode (not unlike my recent situation with cauliflower, only nowhere near as healthy).

Roasted Cauliflower with Gremolata Bread Crumbs (gluten-free)

I have eaten many, many heads of cauliflower in the last month. My husband is out of town, so I ate them all by myself….well, maybe I fed a little bit to my girlfriends who came over for lunch…

Very Simple Sherried Shrimp

I found this recipe on Food52 which the meeting place of excellent home cooks on-line. There are a lot of wonderful recipes to be found here. In fact, the collective wisdom of home cooks on this sight is positively overwhelming.

Cauliflower Kofta in Creamy Tomato Gravy (pan fried instead of deep fried)

I know, I know, enough with the cauliflower recipes already! Sorry, I am not even close to done with cauliflower. I am having a cauliflower moment.

Gingery Cauliflower Soup

Exactly one year ago today, I posted my favourite cauliflower soup recipe. I love that recipe because it is easy and creamy (although it has no cream in it).
