Heirloom Tomato Stack

Among the many heirloom fruits and vegetables grown today are beets, carrots, corn, dried beans, lettuce, and potatoes as well as tomatoes. Without human intervention, we are able to grow a tomato that tastes the way it was intended to taste. I think they taste like a juicy summer watermelon and it’s wasteful to prepare them with much more than salt and pepper. The balsamic vinegar you choose for this should be aged a minimum of 6 years, but the older the better.

Roast Beetroot Soup

I love beetroot and eat it often, whether simply roasted and served with my beloved garlic yogurt, with a roast chicken or in salad with feta and watercress perhaps. Today though I decided on a soup. I had thoughts of something jazzier, adding a bit of this or that but in the end decided to keep it simple so the earthy sweet flavour of the beetroot could shine through and along with its majestic colour, create a lunch to make the soul soar.

Citrus & Fresh Fig Chia Seed Pudding

This is a lightly fragrant and delicately flavored citrus and fresh fig chia seed pudding. I love fresh figs and now is the time to devour them. The little fig seeds mingle with the chia seeds for a crunchy texture and the citrus and maple brighten the otherwise mellow, creamy pudding. It’s not quite dessert but it is a lovely and refreshing summer breakfast for two.

Spiced & Caramelized Sweet Potato Fries

I seem to go through a lot of sweet potatoes every week. They’re a great pantry staple to have on hand for easy and comforting but healthy meals. I almost never do more than slice them into rounds and then roast with a little bit of olive oil and sea salt. This recipe is the one exception to the rule but it’s still embarrassingly simple. It's adapted from a fantastic recipe for candied sweet potato fries I saw on Tara Stiles' website and requires a handful of ingredients you probably already have on hand and it always works. Every single time. It’s also absolutely delicious and can feed a crowd.

Roasted Tomato-Garlic Toasts

This "recipe"--more a guideline--came about as a way to get dinner on the table without fuss, and is an example of my exploration of roasting any and every kind of vegetable. The sweet flavor of best-quality late-summer tomatoes is concentrated and enriched by putting in a fairly hot oven and keeping it there till nicely browned. You can vary the quantities as you like. Not much more to be said--it's yummy, addictive and very popular around here.

Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free, Sugar-Free Peanut Butter Banana Muffins

This is simple muffin recipe takes only a few easy-to-find ingredients . Even though this recipes calls for no flour, it tastes just like a regular muffin. The secret is the magical combination of eggs and bananas. The sweetness in the recipe comes from the bananas; however, it is very subtle. If you prefer something sweeter, try adding a dash of maple syrup in the batter.

Apricot Jam

I love spring/summer for all the fresh fruits we get to eat! I saw these beautiful apricots at Whole Foods and grabbed a few hoping to make a chutney. I was planning a dinner party with some friends so I figured I’d kill two birds with one stone, I put together a cheese platter just so I could use my new cheese board I got as a birthday gift last year and I made apricot jam instead of chutney to go with the cheese.

Japanese Soba with Mushroom Broth

A friend started talking soba, seaweed and shitakes and described his mastered recipe for a steaming bowl of goodness that is true to its Japanese roots — simple, but amazing. Who needs a Japanese noodle house when you create a dish like this at home? Once you have a few of these items stocked in your cupboard, you can easily bring the East into your kitchen any night of the week without a lot of effort. Note: you don’t have to go to a Japanese specialty market to get all the makings, most health-food shops (or even Whole Foods) will carry everything you need.

Sweet Pea Soup

This incredibly simple soup ticks all the boxes: easy, cheap, beautiful, bright and flavorful. It's one of my most requested soups both at work and and home. The key is not re-cooking the frozen peas, which are already blanched, preserving their natural flavor and vibrant green. The soup is delicate and sweet, and OH THAT COLOR!

Butternut Tomato sauce

I paid more than $6 for a jar of gourmet pasta sauce, but after reading the ingredients I realized it was pretty simple. Adding defrosted butternut squash--the whole package with a quart jar of homemade or quality prepared tomato pasta sauce--couldn't be easier. Not only does this add a great nutritional punch, but its a complex flavor and nice thickness that adds a lot to homemade sauce or baked pasta dishes.
