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…
Goat Cheese and Autumn Vegetable Tart with a Gluten-Free Poppy Seed Crust
I make this tart a lot. It like to serve it to guests with a Spicy Beet Salad with Horseradish and maybe some duck pate and radishes. I like to take the leftovers to work for lunch the next day. I also like to eat this tart with a cup tea for breakfast. Like all…
Whole Brined and Roasted Cauliflower with Romesco Sauce/ Romesco Sauce with Everything!
Last fall, I came across lots of recipes for whole roasted cauliflower. The dish has amazing visual impact, and if you poach it first in wine and spices, the flavour is extraordinary. Of the various recipes that I tried, I liked the technique used in this recipe from Bon Appetite the best. It involves poaching…
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…

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…
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…
