In the summer, I was contacted by an editor at The Guardian who wanted to use my recipe for Sticky Boozy Chocolate Plum Pudding Cake in their 10 Best Plum Recipes article. I was very, very excited. It took a couple of months for the article to come out, and while I was waiting I’ll…

Roasted, Spiced Carrots with Tahini Lemon Sauce and Pistachios
In the winter, I am a dedicated eater of various roasted root vegetables served with various sauces (Aloo Chat Inspired Oven Fries and Oven Yam Fries with Miso Gravy). This kind of food is easy, satisfying, warming, nourishing and delicious. It’s the kind of food I need to eat after braving the cold weather. I…
Red Lentil and Autumn Vegetable Soup
I made this soup a few weeks ago when the leaves first started changing and I choose ingredients mostly because of their autumnal colors. It is not typical for me to make food with aesthetics as my primary motivation. Luckily though, the soup turned out to be tasty, as well as visually pleasing! The temperature in…
Chilled Potato, Pear and Arugula Soup for an Autumn Tea Party
I have a temporary job right now cooking lunches and dinners for some friends who are in the putting up an ambitious and beautiful abstract puppet interpretation of The Rite of Spring at Lincoln Center. If you do not work in theater, you would be astonished to discover the kind of long hours and level of focus required to produce…
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
I know! I know! Enough with the blackberry recipes. This is the last one, since we are now back in NYC. In addition to eating a lot of blackberries while on Gabriola, we ate a good amount of locally grown vegetables. There are quite a few small farms on the island that sell at…
Sockeye Salmon with Blackberries and Leeks
It’s salmon and blackberry season and I am visiting my mother on Gabriola Island. We are picking buckets of blackberries every few days, so I apologize in for the flood of blackberry recipes, but that is what we are eating. This salmon recipe is very easy and very good. The fish is tender and luscious…
Cashew Dill Lemon Dressing/ Farmshare Cooking
Here is what I have been making out of the food that I have received from my farmshare for the last few weeks. Click on the hyperlinks for the recipes. I am hoping that some of you have similar vegetables to cook up! If you just want to find the recipe for Cashew Sill…
Two White Bean Dips (Gremolata/ Garlic Scape)/ Farmshare Cooking
I am loving my farm share. I could not really tell in advance if it would work out to be a good deal, but now I am certain that it is an excellent value. I am enjoying the challenge of figuring out what to cook with a variety of vegetables that I don’t usually buy, and…
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…
