Smashed Cucumber Salad in a Jar

This is one of the first things I make as soon as anything remotely resembling summer hits. It's a cross between a pickle and a salad really, since it only takes a couple of hours for the flavours to develop from start to finish. Have it with your favorite Asian saucy noodles, dumplings, even pork belly baos (I've shared a recipe for that too).

Roasted Asparagus and Fennel with Charred Lime

I intended this dish to be a sprightly salad of shaved asparagus and fennel with a lime-chili vinaigrette. But when shaving the first spear of asparagus, I decided that I wanted something warm and bold in flavor. So I cranked up my oven, tossed the asparagus and fennel in a liberal amount of olive oil and chili flakes, and threw in a halved lime that was destined for my vinaigrette. I then slipped the whole pan under the broiler to enhance the charred flavors. I finished the dish with juice from the charred lime and fennel fronds. The charred lime heightened and married the already bold flavors. My dish was the complete antithesis of sprightly, but on a cool spring evening, it completely hit the spot.

Pumpkin Simple Syrup

Spice up Halloween with spicy pumpkin simple syrup! With this syrup, you can make treats by drizzling over ice cream or using in cookie batter, or be tricky by adding your favorite liquor for a happy Halloween indeed. Of course, I chose the latter, but to keep the mixture thick for the former just don't strain it. Pumpkin is super high in Vitamin A so no matter if you are tricking or treating, you'll be doing good for your skin, teeth and eyes.

Jicama Stack

This recipe is proof that good things come in quick packages. Jicama matchsticks tossed in lime juice and any seasoning or rub mix in your pantry and then stacked jenga-style. I used togarashi - a Japanese seasoning made from red pepper, orange peel, sesame seed, seaweed and ginger - but you could use Mexican, Chinese, or BBQ rubs. The fact that the knife cuts are uneven makes it that much more fun to play!

Hibiscus Raspberry Lime Tea

I love iced tea and lemonade in the summer but sometimes its nice to switch things up a little. Last summer I was addicted to a hibiscus spritzer they sold at a local restaurant. I could never quite figure out the recipe so I came up with this one. Its light, fruity, sweet but not too sweet and the color is just so happy!
