Kosambri - Lentil Salad
This Kosambri recipe is a fresh summer salad made of Moong beans, cucumber and coconut to balance out the spicy curries and Sweets on the plate. So good!
Rosemary and Garlic Parsnip Mash
This is a perfect addition to any holiday dinner! This parsnip mash will have you forgetting about the mashed potatoes! It is also paleo-friendly for everyone to enjoy.
Roasted Duck Fat Potatoes
Duck fat adds incredible richness to roasted potatoes, which are layered here with fresh thyme and whole garlic cloves. If you are making this for Thanksgiving, throw the pan on the rack under the turkey when you first start roasting your bird, then reheat the potatoes at 350 degrees while your turkey rests.
Broccoli With Fried Shallots and Olives
The fried shallots on top of this dish make it seem a little like a baked green-bean casserole, but with broccoli as the starring vegetable. Olives and thinly sliced garlic give it verve, contrasting nicely with the sweetness of the shallots. You can cook the broccoli and fry the shallots a day ahead. Store the broccoli in the refrigerator, bringing to room temperature before serving; keep the fried shallots in a paper towel-lined container or a jar with an airtight lid. If they wilt, you can crisp them back up by popping them briefly in the oven. Be sure to save the shallot-flavored oil to use for sautéeing the garlic and olives right before serving.
Roast Turkey With Garlic and Anchovies
In this flavorful recipe, a whole roasted turkey is seasoned like a Provençal leg of lamb, with rosemary, anchovies and plenty of garlic. Cutting tiny slits into the turkey’s legs helps distribute the garlic-anchovy paste, which perfumes the meat. You’ll need to start marinating the turkey at least a day ahead, although, if you have the space in your refrigerator and the time, starting two or three days ahead is even better. Chilling the turkey uncovered helps dry out the skin, yielding a particularly crisp and golden bird.
Spiced Pumpkin Pie
Most pumpkin pies rely entirely on ground spices for their heady flavor. In this one, whole spices (star anise, clove, cinnamon and black peppercorns) are infused into cream, which gives it a more interesting, nuanced character, while a hit of ground ginger added at the end makes it particularly intense. You can make the filling and par-bake the crust the day before, but this pie is best assembled and baked on the day you plan to serve it. If you can, use a high-fat, European-style butter for the crust. It really makes a difference.
Cranberry-Pomegranate Relish
This twist on the classic orange-and-walnut-studded cranberry relish has pomegranate and pistachios, which fleck the intense red berries with bits of green. You can make the cranberry mixture a day ahead, but don’t add the nuts and pomegranate seeds until just before serving to preserve the crunch.
Von Diaz’s Pork Tenderloin Pernil Style
Von Diaz is sitting on the secret to not-at-all boring or dry pork tenderloin. In an ode to her mother, a working parent who always preferred her meats light and lean, Diaz seasons and marinates tenderloin like pernil, a Puerto Rican dish that's traditionally made with pork shoulder and roasted low and slow for several hours. Bonus: Because tenderloin can cook much faster and hotter and stay tender, you get to pernil in under 30 minutes. Adapted slightly from Coconuts & Collards: Recipes and Stories from Puerto Rico to the Deep South (University Press of Florida, 2018).
Doughy Peanutbutter Cookies

Parmesan Crisps

Pomme Purée
An extra buttery potato side dish pomme puree is richer, creamier, smoother and, dare I say, better than traditional mashed potatoes.
Roasted Cauliflower With Feta, Almonds and Olives
Roasted cauliflower is a pure delight, but tossing it with feta, toasted almonds and olives makes it even better. The additions come together while the cauliflower roasts, allowing you to assemble this side in no time. If almonds aren't available, walnuts or hazelnuts are good substitutions. This dish works well served warm, but it's equally good at room temperature if you want to make it ahead. Serve with grilled pork chops or pan-seared chicken thighs with lemon and herbs, or fold it into cooked grains, such farro or rice, for a hearty grain salad.
Polenta "Pizza" Crust
This recipe is a delicious alternative to pizza crust because the polenta provides the perfect bed for pizza toppings. Here, a knife and fork are mandatory.
Slow-Roasted Salmon with Capers, Dill and Lemon
Slow roasting this salmon recipe with capers and dill is foolproof. The oven temperature is so low, so there is a large gap between undercooked and overcooked.
Chocolate Sunflower Seed Butter Cups

Vegan ‘Cheesy’ Popcorn
Using more oil than popcorn kernels — a technique developed by Jessica Koslow, the chef and owner of Sqirl in Los Angeles — gives you an ultracrunchy popcorn with rich flavor. Ms. Koslow prefers grapeseed oil for its high smoke point and clean taste. But to mix things up, you can combine grapeseed oil with a more flavorful oil such as virgin coconut, olive oil, butter, duck fat, or bacon grease. Use 1/4 cup of each. After popping, you can toss the kernels with just salt (they won't need any more fat by way of butter) or a flavorful spice mix. Here, they're tossed with nutritional yeast, which gives them a Parmesan-like umami flavor, along with a little rosemary or kelp powder for depth.
Beef Tenderloin with Black Truffle Steak Sauce
This black truffle recipe is more about the sauce than the steak. You can use this sauce on any roasted meat, from beef to pork to chicken--even vegetables.

Quince-mas Membrillo
After being reminded about the wonder-of-a-cheese-partner that is Membrillo, a Spanish classic particularly good with a slab of Manchego, I decided to adapt the traditional recipe to give it a Christmassy twist. ‘‘Tis the season after all. This Quince-mas Jelly will be the perfect pal for your Boxing Day cheese board.

Rosemary Rack of Lamb With Crushed Potatoes
Tender rack of lamb, though expensive, makes an elegant roast for a special-occasion dinner, and it’s quite easy to prepare. A brief marinade of pounded garlic and anchovy, Dijon mustard and olive oil heightens the flavor. For a simple accompaniment, roast small crushed potatoes in the same pan. Each eight-bone rack may be sliced into four thick chops, or eight thin chops, if you prefer.
Classic Lasagna
While not a 30-minute meal, this lasagna is quicker and more straightforward than most. If you’re in a real time crunch, use your favorite jarred red sauce. For greater success with the lasagna noodles, which have a tendency to stick together, boil them in the largest pot possible or work in batches — they need as much water as possible to move freely so they don’t clump. This lasagna can be assembled, baked and refrigerated up to five days ahead, or frozen up to a month ahead if wrapped tightly.
