It's like British chips and American potato skins got together and had a love child of sauce. This Malt Vinegar Sauce recipe is perfect for any kind of potato.
A Different Guacamole
This recipe is based on a version of guacamole I was once served at a Middle Eastern restaurant. It's become a staple ever since.
Chia Seed Pudding
Chia seeds are nutritionally dense seeds that will thicken any liquid you add them to. Mix them up with coconut and almond milks and you’ve got an almost instant pudding with a tapioca-like texture and gently sweet flavor. This recipe is meant for breakfast, but if you add a little honey to the seeds as they swell, it will be sweet enough for dessert. You can use either black or white chia seeds here, or a mix. The pudding will continue to thicken as it sits, so feel free to thin it out to taste with a little more almond or coconut milk before serving.
Chunky Avocado-Papaya Salsa
This is based on a recipe in Kim Sunée’s wonderful new book, “A Mouthful of Stars” (Andrews McMeel). Her recipe is more of a salad, a fusion of Thai and Mexican flavors. I loved the idea of combining avocado and papaya, two subtle, creamy fruits, with crunchy, bright-tasting Asian pears and spicy chiles. The first time I saw the recipe I wanted to test it right away, but I didn’t have Asian pears. So I used an apple, and loved it. It’s the sweet, crunchy fruit that does the trick, and apples and Asian pears both work. There are onions in the original recipe but I’ve made them optional.
Grilled Corn with Scallion Sauce
From the childhood favorites file. When she wasn't boiling fresh corn on the cob, my mother would grill it and slather this sweet-salty-oniony sauce all over it. Messy, but a darn tasty treat.
Sherried Lentil Soup With Sausage and Croutons
White Pizza
This is a pizza reimagining of the classic Roman pasta dish cacio e pepe, pasta served with only cheese and black pepper. It came to The Times from the kitchens of Roberta’s restaurant in Brooklyn, a pizzeria and lifestyle collective that occupies a number of buildings and lots in a far corner of the Bushwick neighborhood. Cream slicks the dough, and a mixture of mozzarella and tangy taleggio tops it. A shocking amount of freshly ground black pepper follows that application and, after the pizza is cooked, a shower of grated Parmesan. A drizzle of honey over the top would not be blasphemy.
Black Rice and Lentil Salad on Spinach
Black rice is inky, as black as squid ink, and glistens against a bed of spinach. The pigments provide anthocyanins, flavonoids that are high in antioxidants. I was inspired to cook the rice with lentils by a pilaf that I ate recently at the “Healthy Kitchens, Healthy Lives” conference at the Culinary Institute of America in Napa Valley. In addition to the familiar green or black lentils, I’ve thrown in uncooked split red lentils, which contribute their own soft salmon color and crunch; they are soaked for a few hours to soften them, and that’s all they need. Prepare the ingredients for the salad while the rice and lentils are cooking. The cooked rice and lentils will keep for 3 or 4 days in the refrigerator.
Bulgur and Chickpea Salad With Roasted Artichokes
Quartering and roasting the artichokes instead of steaming them whole intensifies flavor and cuts down on preparation time for this salad. My initial idea here was to stuff the artichokes with the salad and steam them. But that took a lot of time, and diminished the flavor of the salad. So I trimmed and cut the artichokes into wedges, tossed them with olive oil and roasted them. The roasted artichokes tasted so wonderful that I’ll be inclined to cook them this way from now onhereon in. They are perfect served atop or on the side of this lemony grain, chickpea and herb salad. The bulgur will keep for 4 or 5 days in the refrigerator, and can be frozen. The artichokes can be roasted several hours or even a day ahead but are best when freshly roasted.
Barley and Herb Salad With Roasted Asparagus
When fat stalks of asparagus come into the markets, what better thing to do with them than roast or grill them? What’s more, the California chef and teacher John Ash, demonstrating a recipe at the recent “Healthy Kitchens, Healthy Lives” conference at the Culinary Institute of America in Napa Valley – an event that bridges health care, nutrition science and cooking – insists that not only does asparagus taste better when it’s not cooked in or near water, but also that it doesn’t cause that distinctive odor in urine many people experience after eating it. I can’t vouch for the latter claim, but asparagus is intensely delicious when you roast it And it’s a beautiful addition to this lemony mix of barley and herbs. For the herbs, I like to mix sweet (tarragon, chives) with bitter (parsley, marjoram, thyme). Cooked barley will keep for 3 days in the refrigerator and can be frozen. The dressed grains will be good for 2 to 3 days.
Crispy Roasted Chickpeas: Food Network: Giada De Laurentiis
Quick and easy snack that is nutritious. Great for cocktails, game day, or a late night snack. We tried it the other night and it was a family favorite and it got the folks who don't like vegetables to like them a little more.
Maple Cinnamon Roasted Chickpeas
Infused with cinnamon and maple, it's the perfect way to get children eating their beans and can be used as a great snack, side or topping. Enjoy.
Crispy (Fried) Chickpeas
Crispy Fried Chickpeas are the new popcorn. Smoky paprika is a go-to spice with chickpeas recipes, but I also love a batch infused with lemon zest and thyme.
Grilled Sardines and Asparagus With Citrus, Chiles and Sesame
Ten Minute Spring Rolls
The actual prep time for these delicious spring rolls depends upon your choice of veggies, but when time is of the essence, ten minutes is enough. Cabbage, lettuce, avocado, tofu and sprouts are your speediest options. Carrots, peppers, cukes and herbs take a bit longer, but not much. The rest is a snap; just dip the spring roll wrapper in water for a few seconds as it softens like magic and you’re ready to fill and roll.

A Posh Orange
Once you have tried an orange this way, there is no going back. You won't regret it.
Nicaraguan Guacamole
When I was 17, I spent a summer living and working in semi-rural Nicaragua. In my down time, I spent a lot of time in people's kitchens, eating and learning. Of all the delicious homey foods I learned to make, this one was the most surprising: a chunky guacamole made with avocado, onion, lime juice, and hard-boiled egg. The flavor is clean and sharp, and the squishy avocado, chewy egg, and crunchy onion give it a wonderful texture. Fresh cilantro is nice, but optional--the guacamole will still taste great without it.
pan-fried with tomatoes
This is a common home dish for dinner in China. In North China, it'll be a more salty one, and in South China, people like it more sweet. I'm introducing a South recipe here.
30 Minute Sweet Pickled Onion
This Japanese pickled onion recipe can be used on burgers (especially lamb), in guacamole, with soft boiled eggs, or really anything if you're like me.
Garlicky Chard
Want to take a break from kale? Give chard a chance. It’s a nutritious green and makes a great warm salad. I made this super easy warm chard-red quinoa salad in less than 15 minutes for a quick lunch. Its loaded with garlic and I topped it with tomatoes to add some freshness. You can add other veggies for more color and taste, add an egg, grilled tofu…this has endless possibilities!!
