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.

Roasted Tomato Eggplant Melts
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.
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.
Heirloom Tomato Bruschetta with Homemade Ricotta

Green Onion Pancakes
The one (and only) problem with making homemade dumplings is you invariably end up with way more dough than pork filling. This is what three generations of my family have always done with the leftover dough. These crispy, hearty, but simple pancakes are the perfect complement to the boiled dumplings they play second fiddle to, but they also do nicely on their own alongside some wok-tossed veggies and tofu.
CSA Inspired Potato Pancakes
Had a bunch of random items left in my csa box toward the end of the week and this just happens to be what I came up with. They were super delicious and served with a side of mixed greens and arugula. I will say this did not satiate my hunger in a big way nor did I feel it was very nutrient dense but a really tasty none the less!
Smashed Kale Salad
Guacamole re-incarnated as a salad. Creamy avocado hand-"smashed" into hearty kale leaves, topped with onion, cilantro and fresh-squeezed lime. Even the kale averse will crave this one.
Smokey Grilled Minty Snap Peas
Summer sides calls for easy recipes, and this is one of my current favorites. It's just 4 ingredients, if you include the oil and the salt, but all four are important. They're best served warm from the grill, especially if you use the wood chips, but are great at room temperature, or even the next day. Note: I've also made these without the wood chips, and they're still fantastic. Just maybe a little less so :-)
