Nutty Crispy Tofu
This is slightly crispy on the outside and soft and tasty on the inside. The nutritional yeast gives it a slightly nutty flavor, but feel free to substitute with corn starch. I usually serve this tofu over a bed of jasmine rice, sometimes over stir-fried vegetables too, and sometimes just with the dipping sauce. Oh and my five year old daughter loves it!
Cashew Cream of Broccoli Soup
I try to save my dairy for really good cheese, but that doesn't mean I don't like a nice, rich cream-of-whatever soup once in a while. Soaked cashews blend up nicely and give this broccoli soup a velvety texture.
Barley, Celery Root and Mushroom Salad With Scallion Vinaigrette
Tomato and Rice Soup
A quick and easy tomato soup. A perfect complement to our Middle Eastern grilled Cheese.
Seriously Intense Hot Chocolate
Do we really need an excuse to eat chocolate? I don’t. And you don't. Let me share with you a really dark thick and seriously intense hot chocolate recipe.
Rejuvenating Pure Carrot Soup
A perfect example of "less is more". Carrots abound at the greenmarket these days, and I wanted to create a carrot soup. A dear friend, and former chef, gave me a few tips on how to turn humble carrots - still dark with dirt - into a dynamite soup. It's all in minimal ingredients, careful cooking, and a few accessories at the end. Hope you enjoy.

Chocolate-Covered Potato Chips with Coconut, Chile Powder, & Toasted Almonds
This recipe literally came to me in a dream. Cover your potato chips in melted chocolate, dip in shredded coconut, and season with chile powder and cinnamon.
Rosemary and Brown Sugar Roasted Parsnips
I love dishes that offer a sweet and savory flavor combination! And, I love parsnips. While they are wonderful roasted simply with just olive oil and salt, the addition of rosemary and brown sugar takes a basic roast up a notch, to something with a bit more complexity and nuance. These are delicious as a side dish or even just a hearty snack.
Easiest Guacamole
This vegan guacamole is mild and loaded with healthy cholesterol-lowering fats (no mayo here!) You can make as large or as small a batch as you wish.
Vanilla-Stewed Apples + Bananas
This quick fruit recipe is perfect for a chilly morning. The vanilla bean elevates the fruit, while the banana lends some creaminess. It also makes a good afternoon snack, or a light dessert. Delicious on its own, the addition of yogurt, nuts, and coconut does make for a rounder start to the day. It is also really easy to pack this to go.
Seville Orange Membrillo
In my excitement about the Citrus Contest, I impulsively purchased some Seville oranges. Usually I pass them by because I know I don't have time to cook them. When I got home, I decided to use the quinces that were on the verge of languishing and the Seville oranges. Jane Grigson wrote about the combination of orange and quince in Spanish quince paste. I used the juice and julienned zest from the Seville oranges to flavor this batch of quince paste. The bitterness of the peel and sour juice make a lovely counterpoint to all the sugar and the julienned peel adds a crunchy texture to the membrillo.
Orange and Olive Salad
Temple oranges are shiny, spongy to the touch and deeply rutted with pores, like a cartoonist’s idea of an orange. The temple orange, which arrives at stores in the winter, is worth seeking out. Start with the peel, which is thin and tight to the pulp yet zippers off as cleanly as that of the tangerine. The segments have little pith, and though their skin is delicate, they separate neatly, sparing your shirt. Pop a sector, fat and pulpy, into your mouth, and the thing just bursts. Temples are far juicier than most oranges, with a tarter, more complex taste. This is a recipe, adapted from “Jane Grigson’s Fruit Book” (Atheneum, 1982), that showcases their sweetness, set off by bitter greens, salty olives and black pepper.
Blood Orange and Pea Sprout Salad
This is a salad that just works. I think I started making it for Easter when the blood oranges and sprouts appeared at the same time in the farmers' market. Who knew a person who doesn't like peas could like them in the sprouted form. This salad doesn't need a dressing since the juice of the blood oranges does the trick.
Fennel, Orange, & Olive Salad with a Warm fennel dressing
This is one of my favorite winter salads because it's light, fresh, and pretty and very simple to make. It's perfect as a starter to a heavy meal or as a light lunch. My inspiration is a recipe from a restaurant in Nice, France, that was written up by Mark Bittman, for the New York Times several years ago. I've added a bed of sauteed fennel and infused flavors into a warm dressing, based on an olive appetizer that I make often for guests. I use Kalamata olives because they are easy to find and are often already pitted, but you can substitute any kind of oil-cured olives. You can make this ahead of time, but be sure to bring the oranges to room temperature before serving. Also warm the sauteed fennel and dressing.
Kumquat-Earl Grey Marmalade
Since this recipe has no added pectin, it's a bit softer than store-bought marmalade. I love it spread on think slices of toast or spooned into yogurt or müsli. Make sure to choose kumquats that are quite firm, not squishy.
Creamy Vegan Parsnip Soup
I love blended vegan soup recipes that are rich in flavor. And parsnip--I love them braised with whiskey and butter--and now I love them blended, too!
Effortless Clementine, Carrot and Mint Salad
Inspired by an orange salad served at my favorite Tapas restaurant (Si Tapas in Dallas), this easy-to-assemble dish has become my go-to for easy entertaining. The raw carrot gives it a nice crunch without taking anything away from the sweet clementine. The red onion provides a nice 'zing' and the mint brings colors and subtly ties it all together. It's refreshing in the summer, and a perfect light dish in the winter to take advantage of my darling clementines.
Vanilla-Caramel Soda
Acting on a recent craving for something fizzy and sweet, I made my own vanilla caramel syrup recipe to add to seltzer for a soda with customizable sweetness.
A sage and honey walnut milkshake (with vegan option)
Looking for a new flavor this recipe puts an earthy, savory spin into a traditional buttermilk drink. For a vegan option you can sub almond milk with a splash of cider vinegar for the buttermilk, which will get some tanginess.
