Orange Gomaae Greens
Of my many food memories, a few stand out as truly formative. One such memory was a visit to a magical Japanese restaurant. Fully equipped with waitresses in kimonos and special dining rooms made private by paper screens, I was instantly enamored. So much so that my mother tells me my favorite imaginary character for a long time was a Japanese waitress, shuffling in socks and flip flops to the table to take orders and clear away plates. And while the sushi was wonderful, it was the tiny dish of spinach salad in sesame dressing that was a revelation. Seemingly so simple, but deeply complex in flavor, it has since been one of my favorite dishes. Over time I have used a variety of ingredients from brown rice vinegar, to sake and tahini with a touch of hot sauce. But this time, working my way through the towering bowl of clementines we seem to always have, I decided to add some citrus. And rather than eating a tiny bowl as a side, I often make this salad a platform for any number of other ingredients. My favorite pairing is avocado, toasted almonds and a protein of sorts- leftover roasted chicken or steak or some baked tofu.
Blood Orange Marmalade - Sunset in a jar
This marmalade is like the brightest red sunset caught in a jar. So far my marmalade recipe worked very well with Seville oranges and tangerines, so why not with blood oranges? It worked, and more than that, the result is amazing! Sweet, yet slightly bitter.
Tortilla de Acelga
I spent some time last year in Argentina with family in a sleepy beach-side town. On day 1 in Miramar the family took us to Rotimar, a favorite lunch spot. We chose from dozens of pastries, baked goods, salads, and so much more. My favorite thing: Tortilla de Acelga (Swiss Chard Spanish Tortilla). I couldn't get enough of it. Upon my return to Texas, I immediately recreated the dish. This is the final and most delicious result. Even for the non Swiss Chard lovers out there, this one may win you over.
Autoimmune Paleo Quick Pickled Beet Salad
The yin of the balsamic vinegar and orange zest greets the yang of the earthy beets to make a wonderfully surprising balance dish that is light on its feet and easy to pull together.
Kale Salad Lyonnaise
Recently when my parents were visiting, we got to reminiscing about one period in my youth, following a family trip to Paris, when all my father wanted to eat was frisee with lardons and poached eggs: Salad Lyonnaise. Now my parents are mostly vegetarian and fond of kale salads, so I made a version for them which substituted crispy fried shallots for the lardons and used the shallot-scented oil in a hot vinaigrette to coat the kale leaves. The kale was a perfect foil for the runny egg yokes and the crispy fried shallots added a wonderfully deep, caramelized flavor that I liked even better than bacon.
Dijon Braised Collard Greens
This preparation for collard greens is bursting with original and unexpected flavor. Since I am an avid Yoga practitioner and a vegetarian who really doesn't like to sacrifice full flavor, and I loves me some dark leafy greens (but not with ham hocks), this recipe is perfect!
Pan Seared and Steamed Baby Bok Choy
I used the potsticker method to create a simple bok choy dish. I cannot say that this is a particularly unique or innovative recipe but I enjoyed the results and hope you do too.
Basic Coffee Creamer + Spiced Vanilla Coffee Creamer
This coffee creamer is delicious! It uses only 2 ingredients and provides the perfect base for any flavors you can dream up! Included is a recipe for Spiced Vanilla creamer. It's sweet, spicy, rich and addictive. [Note: to add flavoring to a Basic Creamer you made ahead, combine your base and flavorings in a small pot, bring to a light simmer, remove from heat, cover and let steep for 1 hour before straining. Then you can use or refrigerate your flavored creamer.]
Autoimmune Paleo Cara Cara Orange Salad
Autoimmune Paleo orange salad that is light for post-holiday eating
Avocado Citrus Breakfast Shake (aka the "I wish I were in San Diego" smoothie)
I was in the frigid Minnesota winter and missing California, so I blended together avocado, orange, and coconut for a hit of sunshine in this smoothie recipe.
Daal (Lentil Soup)
This lentil soup is the perfect comfort food. Make a huge batch and freeze the rest for later.
Walk Away Slow-Cook Chicken
Lets face it, we’re busy and we don’t always have time to make dinner. Time to dust off your slow-cooker! This recipe couldn’t be easier and it will set you up for easy soup later on.
Easy Pea-sy Warming Soup
I made this soup one afternoon when I was so exhausted, I didn't even want to cook. At home, we call soups like this 'Runny Nose' soups, because they make your nose run from the hot spices (not to mention the temperature itself!), but I thought a combination of that name and the soup colour would be too much for some - needless to say, this soup perked me up right away and left my tongue tingling pleasantly. Many soup puritans would have me hung, drawn and quartered for adding cornstarch to a soup - but, at the time, i wanted a light (both flavour and calorie wise) and extremely flavourful soup, and so didn't want to add my usual thickeners (potato, lentils, ect). If you are object to the cornstarch approach, the white potato trick is a great sub. I had some strong mushroom stock lying around from a previous mushroom dish, but veggie stock or mushroom stock cubes (if you can find them, a great investment) would do the trick just fine too.
Black Quinoa, Fennel and Celery Salad
This salad was a big surprise. It is so simple. I began with a bulb of fennel and some celery that I had on hand in the refrigerator, the remains of a bag of black quinoa, and fresh herbs from my garden, thinking that I would need to add some unexpected ingredients to achieve something interesting. But the contrasts of textures and the crisp, clean flavors of the fennel and celery in a lemony dressing made for a salad that I can’t resist. Slice the fennel and celery as thin as you can.
Grapefruit with Vanilla-Honey and Coconut
This is like your classic morning grapefruit sprinkled with sugar, but using a warm honey-vanilla sauce instead of sugar makes it oh so much better, and the coconut adds a tropical note while making it a little more filling. This is a perfect light pick me up breakfast in the dead of winter.
3-Bean Good Luck Salad With Cumin Vinaigrette
This is a colorful variation of the black-eyed peas salad I always serve at my New Year’s Day open house. You can cook the black beans and red beans together or separately. The black-eyed peas cook more quickly so should be cooked separately.
Shaved Brussels Sprout, Pomegranate and Toasted Hazelnut Salad
This recipe turns every Brussels sprout recipe I've ever made on its head. The dressing is light and zesty. The combination of textures and flavors (crunchy hazelnuts, tart juicy pomegranate seeds) is to die for. To DIE for.
Pot-Roasted Collard Greens
This pot-roasted collard greens recipe is based on Thomas Keller's recipe. If you have never roasted collards or any other green, I highly recommend it.
Vegetarian Chopped Liver
The only vegetarian recipe my mother ever made, she forgot to hand down the measurements - just the list of ingredients with the 'taste of this' and 'handful of that' descriptions. It took me over two years to finally create a version I liked, and another twenty to decide to change it up as I expand my own vegetable repetoire. I am now trying it with leeks and almonds, and look for reader's versions to try as well
Roasted Hazelnut Torte
It's always the wafting aromas that transport me. My mother, from Manchester, and my father, from Berlin, met after World War II in England. That's where we grew up, surrounded by love and culinary madness: everything from tripe to trifle (from Mummy's side) to carp with beer and this special occasion hazelnut torte (from Papa's side). We children just thought it was normal! I think my mother tried very hard to accommodate my demanding father; like with this recipe, so simple yet so delicious in it's simplicity. I believe it was from our German grandmother. We always asked for it on birthdays.

Raspberry Dark Chocolate Bark
This is an easy to make Raspberry Bark recipe that is very suitable to be made in bulk and be wrapped up as edible gift. It's also perfect to make with kids!
Dark Chocolate and Pomegranate Bark
Chocolate bark is the workhorse of homemade holiday gifts, and in Tom Faglon's version, he scatters fresh pomegranate seeds over the surface, where they glisten like rubies. Chewy bits of candied ginger are hidden inside the bittersweet chocolate, lying in wait to surprise you with their spiciness. Then, to make things even more interesting, Mr. Faglon strews the top with crunchy sea salt. This bark is as sweet and juicy as a box of chocolate-covered cherries, but a lot more sophisticated.
