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.

Ume Plum and Parmesan Green Bean Salad
In 2005 a friend of mine approached me asking me if I wanted to open a restaurant with her. She told me that she already found the space and had a vision but wanted a partner. She knew I had just graduated from Le Cordon Bleu Culinary School and that I was a yogi like her, who had a passion for health food. I know Le Cordon Bleu and Health don't exactly go together, but I love to cook gourmet and make it healthy. So while we never actually did open the restaurant together we did spend a lot of time creating recipes together for our restaurant. This was one of our favorites, and every time I make it for anyone they ask for the recipe!

Vegetable Pate (Mock Chopped Liver)
This kind of recipe is sometimes called "mock" chopped liver. It's a vegetable puree mixed with nuts, eggs, sauteed onion and can stand up to chopped liver anytime. Variations of the recipe are ubiquitous in Jewish homes, varying in the vegetable base and the proportion of nuts -eggs- vegetables. Serve with crudites, crackers or thin slices of canape type bread. This recipe is easy to make and always a hit.
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.

Beet Tzatziki
There is this great cafe, Sofra, owned by the famous Ana Sortun, near my house, and it has a wonderful mezze bar. I often stop by on my way home to get a "pre-dinner snack" from the bar's many selections, like hummus, muhummara, or skordalia which they'll put on a platter for you to eat with crackers or pita. One of those mezze dips that particularly love and always get is their beet tzatziki. It is not only delicious but a beautiful color. The only downside to this dip --- it is quite expensive to buy. So I decided to make up a recipe for my own, and, if I do say so myself, it worked out even better than I expected.Thanks for the inspiration Sofra!

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.
Basil Pignoli Pesto Recipe
A simple basil pignoli pesto recipe, I love it on everything. It’s easy to make and versatile. A classic pesto recipe that goes well with so many things. Some of my favorites: a slice of crusty bread, pasta, tarts, fish, drizzled over steam veggies, on a grilled chicken breast, on a panini sandwich, or on a pizza. It’s said that the best way to make it is with a mortar and pestle but I think a food processor makes it faster and easier method when you are running around and if you don’t have one a blender works too.

I savor this every time I have ripe tomatoes and eggplant which seems to happen almost every week starting in July. Its a perfect side dish or works as a light dinner on its own. The recipe is inspired by our community garden newsletter where gardeners are always looking for creative ways to use our produce. Be sure to use thin skinned eggplant which is more edible than its thicker skinned, more oblong cousin.
