Shakshouka - Eggs in spicy sauce
So on those days where my energy is playing hide and seek and time seems to be slipping through my fingers, I make this super fast, super easy recipe. Eggs, garlic, canned tomatoes. 20 minutes, done. Add a piece of baguette and your favorite salad, and in less than 30 minutes you have a balanced, delicious dinner no one will complain about. Just let someone else do the dishes…
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.
Sinful Roasted Acorn Squash
I love to eat acorn squash during the fall. While it is delicious roasted with just a bit of salt and pepper, it's nice to add a bit of flair every once in a while . . .
Roasted Beet and Goat Cheese Skewers
I am always looking for ways to reinvent dishes into cutesy bite-size appetizer form, and this Goat Cheese and Beet Hors D'Oeuvres recipe works perfectly.
The Beggle
The flavors in this beggle recipe all work together to create a delicious (and messy) sandwich that's perfect for using up the leftover food in your fridge.
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.
Roasted Bell Pepper Crostini
Its a simple appetizer that doesn't take a lot of time, you can even make the bell pepper topping in advance and store it in the fridge and just spread it over the crostini before serving. The roasted bell pepper gives it a nice and bold smoky flavor! I used bell pepper in three colors to make it look interesting and also I feel that the intensity of the peppers varies as per their color- so that kind of gives the flavor a subtle variation.
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.
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!
Apple, Carrot, and Parsnip Soup
I know there are dozens of root soup recipes on this site, but the happenstance nature of this soup's creation prompted me to encourage others. I made a roast chicken earlier this week, and after 3 days of leftovers there were still a few roasted carrots left in the roasting pan. I combined these, a few roasted garlic cloves that were hiding in the cavity of the chicken, and a few more carrots and a parsnip from the fridge. A half apple was sitting on the counter, and so that and another whole apple got thrown into the mix. In this photo I added a hodgepodge of inclusions - Dukkah, pepitas, AND some parmesan cheese. But the soup is really good on its own.
Roasted Red Onions
Onions have been used in Irish Cooking for such a long time, but this simple recipe was one I came across while doing some research about Irish Food. My 14 year old son loves these. He told me that he now prefers these to onion rings..!
Big clam soup with Vietnamese spinach
Rau Mong Toi is a Vietnamese spinach, used in this Big Clam Soup recipe. Big clams work better than smaller clams. Such a good soup for the cold winter day!
Sweet Hots
This is my take on jalapeno wonton poppers, the recipe you see all over the internet where cheese is combined with jalapeno peppers, wrapped in a wonton wrapper, fried and dipped in a sauce. I put the sauce right in and form into a mini egg roll making for a nice little sweet and spicy bite (or two).
Boursin-Stuffed Mushrooms
This stuffed mushrooms recipe remains as easy and as awesome as ever. It includes just two ingredients! Fill mushroom caps with Boursin garlic and herb cheese.

Best Salsa
A friend gave me this recipe and I have since tweeked it. I added Salt and pepper and the juice of a lime. Sometimes, I'll add Black olives and some vinager as well for a variation. I have to show up with my sauce every event I go or my friends are quickly disappointed. Its quick simple and tasty. For gifts, I find a cool container and buy a large bag of favoite tortilla chips and find that is very well received.
dead simple roasted brussels sprouts
The best thing about this is that it is so quick! The caramelization of the brussels sprouts is delicious and you can vary it a lot, depending on what you like. I think cooking them so that they are still a bright green brings out their natural sweetness, and avoids the cabbagy-sulfuric nasty taste that turn many people off Brussels sprouts. I like roasting garlic along with the brussels sprouts, and you can squeeze the yummy mellowed roasted garlic out of its skin as a little treat in between the crunchy and bright brussels sprouts. I have to thank my friend Ori Cosentino, a professional chef, who turned me on to the idea of pre-heating the baking tray. Check out her food blog at upchefcreek.com.
Yellow Beans with Mushroom and Pine Nuts
