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…

Charred Broccolini with Black Forbidden Rice and Sweet, Spicy Lime Sauce
This dish was created for the Decadent Eight Course Vegan Tasting Menu for The Illuminati Ball (see above photo), but it’s also morphed into a simple and excellent every day lunch salad (see photo below)! I wanted to replace the Roasted Brussel Sprouts with Sweet Sriracha Lime Sauce on the menu for the with a vegetable that was a…
Salmon Ceviche (inspired by Chile)
My husband and I spent most of last January in Chile working on this puppet show and then traveling a bit. It was a glorious southern hemisphere summer. We ate a lot of terrific food, which I have been putting off sharing until the weather got warmer in my home hemisphere. Chile has 2,563 miles…
Furikaki Crusted Seared Ahi with a Salad of Spicy Vegetables
My mother and I got to cook Christmas dinner together this year. She made a very delicious lamb roast and I made a salad from all of the amazing locally grown vegetables that you can buy on Maui in the dead of winter (watercress, kohlrabi, watermelon radishes). The salad was spicy, crunchy and full of…
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…
Hakurei Turnip and Spring Onion Pakora with Chat Masala/ Farmshare Cooking
We joined a Flatbush Farmshare this Spring! Vegetables from the Farm at Miller’s Crossing, fruit from Hepworth Farms and eggs from Brookside Farm farm are delivered to an old Church in the middle of our bustling, crowded Brooklyn neighborhood. They also have milk, yogurt and beef, but I did not decide to buy those. I know what your thinking. “How dull….
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…
Roasted Brussel Sprouts with Sweet Lime Sriracha Sauce
As I have mentioned before, I am not much of a deep fry cook. I like deep-fried food, but I leave it to the experts. The food that I deep fry ends up burnt on the outside and raw in the middle, or it’s cooked through, but soggy with oil. I know, I am…
Crispy Horseradish Gnocchi with Beet Greens, Goat Cheese and Pancetta (Gluten-Free)
I make ricotta gnocchi fairly frequently. I make big batches of them and freeze them in single serving bags. That way when I want a fast meal, I can boil the gnocchi and toss them with some greens and goat cheese for dinner. I was recently inspired by a crispy horseradish gnocchi recipe at the Lemon…
Saag “Paneer” (vegan)
My husband’s maternal grandparents raised their family in India. Chris’ grandfather ran an international boarding school in his capacity as a United Methodist Minister. Chris’ mother and all of his aunts and uncles grew up playing in the foothills of the Himalayas and attending the Woodstock School. It is easy to see how this experience…
