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…

Miso Butter Broiled Cauliflower
Well it’s finally snowing in New York. Here is a proper, healthy, no fuss winter dish. If you are someone who makes Asian food on a regular basis, you will have all of these ingredients in your pantry, so you can make it without running around in the snow. This is another recipe that I…
Winter Farmshare Recipes
Last year, I signed up for a winter farmshare with my local CSA. The summer farmshare rocks my world. The winter farmshare was pretty great too. Of course, I live in New York, so local food in the winter means LOTS of root vegetables, onions, leeks or garlic, winter squashes, winter greens and cauliflower. My…
Crispy Seeded Amaranth and Onion Fritters with Charred Pepper and Tomato Sauce
I’ve had a very sad few weeks. I can’t really see my way clear to write a chipper or heartfelt story of any kind, but I can share with you an excellent recipe that I made. I was trying to make onion rings, but they turned into fritters. This is basically junk food, although it…

Herb and Amaranth Fritters
I have been trying eat more whole grains lately. I can’t eat gluten and many grains make me feel sick, but I’ve realized that I had developed a bit of an irrational fear that has kept me from eating much grain at all, even the ones that are good for me. A couple of months…
Roasted Radish and Fennel Salad with Walnut Gremolata (Cotton-tail salad)
I love radishes with all my little heart. I love them raw, so I was skeptical about roasting them. Maybe you are too? Roasting brings out the sweet side of the radish and tames the spice, making them palatable to the radish adverse. Roasted radishes are sweet, juicy and retain their crispness nicely. I’ve paired…
Cauliflower Roasted with Curry and Cashew Butter
I recently wrote about the foods that I miss from my childhood home, Maui. I decided not to mention an entire genre of delicious hippy cuisine, served up at potlucks, vegetarian and/ or vegan restaurants and health food store lunch counters. This food is a gleeful mash up of vegetarian food from all over the…
Cauliflower Almond Turmeric Soup
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…
