Stinky Tofu Ratatouille
This Stinky Tofu Sauce is a fusion dish, inspired by the summer harvest and one of my favorite Taiwanese recipes. The pungent aroma isn’t for the faint of heart!
Vegan Caesar Dressing
A delicious alternative to the typical caesar dressing, this creamy substitute is savory and perfect for any salad. I suggest using this dressing over a kale salad with additional veggies of your choice, and adding crushed cashews, crispy chickpeas or crushed up pita chips as "croutons" to the salad!
Melon Juice
This juice recipe is super easy and a perfect solution to any unpleasantly green melon. I have used any melon, and all have worked well with this recipe.
Edna Holland’s Three Ingredient Eggplant
Edna was not my own mother, but matriarch to the 6 generations who have been my next door neighbors... well, forever. In the tiny seasonal community of Dinkey Creek, California - where we kids roamed the mountainside in a pack, where every “mom” had equal disipine authority to your own, and where shared dinners were the norm - Edna’s recipes were the gold standard. They still are nearly 80 years on... I bet half the families on the creek don’t even know eggplant can be cooked another way. And why should they? It's creamy and crunchy, so simple it’s barely a recipe, and totally scalable.
Charred Habanero Oil
Habanero peppers are known as the spiciest, but they also have a subtle fruity flavor. In this oil recipe, charring the habaneros adds extra flavor and depth.
Spicy Ginger Lemonade
Unlike more sugar-laden lemonade, this spicy recipe is free from refined white sugar and is just subtly sweet. The ginger adds that nice kick of spiciness.
Almond Butter
Make almond butter at home with just one ingredient (can you guess what it is?)
Warm Eggplant & Mint Salad
The eggplant I knew, growing up, was a bland, bitter Korean banchan called gaji bokkeum (“stir-fried eggplant”). Sesame oil, burnt garlic, salt, maybe soy sauce. This is not that. When you roast the eggplant, char it at the edges, you somehow make it earthy again, like ash, which is a welcome substratum for fresh mint, a pinch of sugar for balance, and a bright, yellow squeeze of lemon. The lemon juice is insurance against that styrofoam texture you can sometimes get with undercooked eggplant, as are the extra five minutes at the very end, when you leave your warm, fully dressed sheet-pan salad in the oven to finish alloying.
Homemade Queso Fresco in One Hour
I can’t believe you can make fresh queso fresco so easily. Why did I wait so long to try it? You can make this recipe so easily with just three ingredients.
Rosé Margaritas
This recipe makes the most refreshing rosé margaritas. They are the classic Mexican cocktail with tequila and lime combined with ultra refreshing summer wine.
Overripe Banana Pizza
This banana pizza recipe happened by accident. The bananas were overripe, squishy and sweet, but not yet fully brown, so I brought them to a pizza making party.
Crispy Plantain Fritters
The edges of the fritters cook up into spiky shards while the center stays tender & yield the perfect side dish for grilled chicken. Easy Grated Plantain recipe.
Creamy Walnut Tangerine Dressing
I created this Creamy Walnut Tangerine Dressing recipe after a walnut vendor told me he blended tangerines and walnuts together to use as a salad dressing.
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.
Melissa Clark’s Stovetop Mac & Cheese
In, oh, about 15 minutes—you could be staring at a big pot full of mac & cheese, with all the ease of cracking open a box and shaking out the foil packet. But instead of noodles in a slurry of cheese-ish dressing, these will be hugged by a truly gooey, molten cheddar sauce that tastes like real, sharp, salty cheese. Cheese cheese. Recipe adapted very slightly from Dinner: Changing the Game (Clarkson Potter, 2017). To get the full story, head here.
Pimento Mac n’ Cheese
This creamy mac and cheese recipe includes pimento peppers and cheddar. It's inspired by the classic, and comes from Honey Butter Fried Chicken in Chicago.
Kabocha Squash (Japanese Pumpkin) Braised in Milk
This Japanese Pumpkin braised in milk is a recipe that you could imagine in a lunchtime bento box or as a side dish to some grilled salmon or roast pork.
XO Fried Rice
For this fried rice recipe, you need 5 ingredients and 10 minutes. XO sauce is a condiment of scallops, shrimp, and ham. Pricey for sure but well worth it.
Alexandra Stafford's No-Knead Peasant Bread
This comforting, no-knead peasant bread is ready in as little as 2 hours, unlike other breads that are ready tomorrow. This bread recipe is so simple and good.
Cacio e Pepe Brussels Sprouts

Broccoli Rabe Goma-ae
For this Japanese goma with broccoli rabe recipe, you could also put the sauce on spinach or any other dark green, corn, or fried or grilled eggplant.
Cabbage melted in butter and cumin
Cabbage has become my favorite winter vegetable: It's earthy, filling and a bargain. I started making cabbage this way a few years ago. I got the idea from an Indian friend, who one holiday quickly sauteed cabbage in butter and black mustard seeds for a last-minute side dish. Here, I opt for slower cooking to yield more umami flavor and silkier results. Plus, the transformation of a heaping pile of raw shards into something manageable and yummy requires mindless attention. It's a good meditation, tending the cabbage as it melts. If you can't get to yoga, get out the butter and a sharp knife and try this.
Butternut Squash with Pancetta and Sage Leaves
Quick & easy Butternut Squash with Pancetta recipe. It hits all the right notes - caramelized squash, crispy pork, creamy creme fraiche, and the crunch of sage.
