I have been eating this salad a lot lately. It’s the pleasing texture and flavor contrasts that are holding my attention – bitter, crunchy radicchio and tangy, soft white beans. Also, it’s very easy to make.

Jicama and Corn Slaw with Avocado
This was the very first recipe I ever posted on this blog. The name of the post was “Dinner July 31st, 2010” and also included instructions for making chipotle black beans and frying sweet plantains. I’m reposting this jicama slaw because, 8 years later, I’m still making this salad every summer. Also, the original post…
Spinach and Chickpea Curry in Yogurt Sauce
It’s allergy season. It’s also all the seasons every day. Everyday I spend part of the day freezing and part of the day sticky and hot….or I spend all day carrying around my entire wardrobe. It’s also the season of being overcommitted. I’m working every day from about 8am until 10pm for the next…
Fish Braised in Tomato and Simple Homemade Thai Curry Paste
It’s time to make this dish. There are so many ripe tomatoes today, but they will be gone before we know it. Make this dish with all of the tomatoes that you have purchased in a moment of tomato hoarding, or that have arrived in your farmshare. Make this dish before your tomato stockpile starts…
Beet Caviar with Lime and Pepitas
Oh my. I have been busy. I have over a dozen posts half-finished for this blog that I have not been able to get up because I am so busy. I’ve decided to post this one because it is the recipe I have been making, serving and eating the most over these last few busy…
Potato and Fried Almond Soup
This simple, Andalusian style Potato soup has been a standard in my kitchen for many winters. Is is one of the three most simple and deeply satisfying soups I’ve ever eaten. The other two are Caldo Verde, the Portuguese concoction of kale, potatoes, sausage and water that magically makes perfect soup and Stracciatella a perfect combination of eggs, greens,…
Kasha and Beet Salad/ Estonian Folktale Dinner
In 2012, I travelled to Estonia with my sister to return our father’s ashes to the island that would have been his home had his family not fled during World War 2. It was an amazing trip and you can see some photos and read more about the food in Tartu, Tallinn and the islands…
Bird Seed Cereal (Gluten-Free)
I’ve been eating this cereal everyday that I go to work, for about 2 years now. My husband has two ancient pet doves, whom he has loved and cared for since before we were dating. He swears that this cereal is exactly the bird seed that he feeds Phoebe and Lula. Well, if it’s kept…
Creamy Butternut Soup with Miso and Smoked Paprika (Vegan)
…and now back to our regularly scheduled program “What can I cook with all of the butternut Squash?” On this episode we are making Creamy Vegan Butternut Squash Soup with Miso and Paprika. I had never wondered what the ideal weather conditions were for the butternut squash crop, but now I know. With a long, warmer…
Zingy Ginger Pumpkin Spread
This is not your typical pumpkin concoction. It has that marvelous velvety pumpkin texture but other than that it’s totally unexpected. It’s not sweet and homey. It’s tangy, full of heat from fresh ginger and Aleppo pepper and it has a hint of earthiness from toasted cumin. This pumpkin spread is racy.I created this pumpkin…
