Spring Rolls With Carrots, Turnips, Rice Noodles and Herbs
This is a basic vegetable spring roll, vibrant with herbs and tangy because the vegetables and noodles are tossed with rice vinegar before being enclosed in the wrapper. You can vary the herbs. I’ve even used arugula from my garden, which is delicious
Tacos With Black Beans and Chard
If you are looking to feed a crowd, one way to meet the challenge is to pick up a supply of corn tortillas and make a big pot of beans and some other dishes that are at home in a taco. Buy some salsa, or make your own, and your house will be taco party central. You can make fillings in advance and arrange in bowls or on platters. Then all it takes is warming tortillas in a microwave, oven or steamer, and guests can assemble their own tacos. These beans are great in tacos, but can also be eaten on their own.
Spring Rolls With Shrimp, Red Rice and Herbs
On the surface this looks like a classic spring roll, with the shrimp beautifully displayed against the thin rice flour wrapper. Inside, though, red jasmine rice replaces the traditional rice noodles, and the vegetables are seasoned. You can find red jasmine rice at Whole Foods, distributed by Alter Eco. Bhutanese rice or brown rice may be substituted if you can’t find it

Spring Rolls With Tofu, Vegetables, Rice Noodles and Herbs

Raspberry Rose Sorbet
This heavenly sorbet is spiked with a very small amount of rose water, which you can find in Middle Eastern markets. I prefer to strain out the raspberry seeds before freezing.
Blueberries au Citron
Pear Vanilla Sorbet
Pear sorbet has always been a favorite of mine. Wait until your pears are nice and ripe, for maximum flavor. I keep my pears in a brown paper bag with an apple to speed this process along. The pear and vanilla combo is heavenly.
