Perfumed Coconut Date Shake
Yesterday, I ran errands in Manhattan. I highly recommend visiting Manhattan during the final long weekend of summer. It’s empty, and you get the full attention of anyone unfourtunate enough to be working at the few businesses that remain open. As pleasant as it was to run my errands without having to contend with the usual…
Blackberry Beet Borscht

Radish Snack with Avocado Crema and Spicy Pepita Powder
I love radishes. It is odd that I have not talked about more on this blog. I guess that I don’t actually cook with radishes. I just eat them as a snack with olives, salted nuts or cheese….and add them to every salad I make…and sprinkle them, minced on top of my eggs. Really, I eat…
