Louisa Shafia's Watermelon, Mint & Cider Vinegar Tonic
Even if drinking vinegar sounds like a dare—and maybe that's why you ordered it—it's anything but. It's sweet and sour and icy-cold. It vibrates and clangs with fruit and vinegar, and soothes with sweetness and mint. It is the most refreshing drink you will have this summer. And because it's a grown-up drink without alcohol, you can take it on a picnic, at any park, without having to look side-eyed at cops that might pass by. From The New Persian Kitchen (Ten Speed Press, 2013).
Roasted Beet and Yellow Tomato Salad with Goat Ricotta and Basil
The acidity of the yellow tomatoes combined with the sweetness of the beets and that tang of the goat ricotta embodies the colors and flavors of summer in an absolutely perfect way. Inspired by some of the beautiful food photography all around the web, this is an absolutely fantastic salad to brighten up your table and bring joy to your tastebuds!
Basil Vinaigrette
This has become a signature salad dressing for me. Drizzled over soft butter lettuce, it is one of my simplest and most requested sides by my customers. The trick is blanching the basil leaves so they keep their vibrant color, and using a very powerful blender to get it nice and smooth.
Chargrilled Rosemary Endive Salad
This recipe was adapted from a Jamie Oliver chicory salad recipe. The chargrilled rosemary and endive are a great pair and work together deliciously.
Blackberry Jello Fluff
I wanted to recreate the magic fluff recipe, but this time with Jell-O made from scratch and with blackberries, the fruit that goes best with whipped cream.
Homemade Lemonade with Mint
The perfect quencher on a hot day. Nothing beats a zesty drink to cool and refresh when the sun is shimmering outside. Anything lemon based is ideal and here you have the option to add ginger or mint to make this even more fragrant and summery.
Crazy-Good No-Temper Chocolate-Dipped Cherries
The secret to preventing the chocolate from turning grey is to dry and chill the cherries before dipping for this recipe. Then, refrigerate again right after.
Homemade Creamy Peanut Butter
Homemade peanut butter with sea salt is a pantry staple recipe that's easy to make. Once you try pure fresh homemade PB you'll never go back to store bought.
Basil-Lemon Sweet & Savory Meringues
I can't resist a good sweet-savory combination, especially when served in a delicate, bite-size package like this recipe. These meringues are fresh and fun.
Apricot-Rose Mintshake
Mint- the cavalier.
Thai Gremolata
I developed this recipe for a Thai-inspired variation of gremolata a couple of weeks ago, when I wanted something to add an herbal, colorful, and flavorful punch to a braised chicken peanut curry. Traditional gremolata is an Italian condiment consisting of minced parsley, garlic, and lemon zest; it’s typically used to add a bright and herbal note to rich, meaty dishes. I thought a similar concept would work well with Thai flavors, so I subbed lime zest for the lemon and minced cilantro for the parsley, kept the garlic, and added shallots and peanuts. The results were delicious and I think this Thai Gremolata will be a go-to around the indieculinary household for not only curries and such, but for grilled meats, too.
Minty Turnip Lactopickles
I ferment hakurei turnips with a little bit of mint at the end to give them an amazing, fresh twist. You can sub any small turnip or even cut up a large one. Just make sure you wash thoroughly and don't peel them! Fermentation is simple pickling. Time and submersion are the keys!

This is a recipe for roasted Orange Rhubarb Compote å la Luise. Serve it with scones, crepes, vanilla ice-cream, a lemon-ricotta tart or just a spoon. Enjoy!
nosh
This casual plate of clementines, pistachios cranberries and dark chocolate is a favorite nosh and servers unlimited guests when continually refreshed (yes, someone ate the chocolate).
Japanese Soba with Mushroom Broth
A friend started talking soba, seaweed and shitakes and described his mastered recipe for a steaming bowl of goodness that is true to its Japanese roots — simple, but amazing. Who needs a Japanese noodle house when you create a dish like this at home? Once you have a few of these items stocked in your cupboard, you can easily bring the East into your kitchen any night of the week without a lot of effort. Note: you don’t have to go to a Japanese specialty market to get all the makings, most health-food shops (or even Whole Foods) will carry everything you need.
Green Beans with Crispy Shallots
This recipe creates a tasty side dish. Green beans with crispy shallots is a savory and wonderful addition to any meal. Just be sure you use fresh beans.
Macedonian Pinjur (Baba ganoush on steroids)
This recipe is based on a popular Macedonian spread/dip called "pinjur" (PEEN-jur). A blend of roasted eggplant, italian sweet peppers, tomatoes and walnuts, this dish get's its kick from pureed raw garlic. If you prefer less bite then use less garlic, but if you're like me 3-4 cloves is just right for this savory spread. The beauty of this recipe is that it's easy to prepare, very nutritious and keeps for quite a while. It is the perfect alternative to hummus, if you are looking for one. Serve and enjoy with friends!
Roasted Garlic Scapes
Every spring I scour the markets until I can find my true love--garlic scapes. I buy them, and make this recipe's roasted garlic scapes for pestos and dips.
Gorgonzola Walnut Spread
This lovely handmade spread redefines the hackneyed “cheese spread” genre. It’s easy to put together and is great for a picnic, tailgate, cocktail party, Saturday afternoon on the patio, road food. You get the picture. Please chop or break up the walnuts by hand so they don’t turn into crumbs.
Vegan Chocolate-Banana “Ice Cream”
An oldie but a goodie: Banana “Ice Cream”. This is always a hit at my cooking classes because people can’t believe this ice-creamy consistency is just bananas.
Garlicky Goat Cheese Toast
9 months ago I planted my first garlic and this week I pulled several bulbs out - what I am I going to do with it all? After using it in stirfry and sauteed Swiss Chard I wanted to go all the way with some of my favorite tastes so Roasted Garlic and Goat Cheese Toast was born. It makes a great lunch or snack or you could get fancy with it as an appetizer. The trick is to have it already roasted and waiting in the fridge so all you have to do is squeeze that goodness onto your toast, top it with your favorite goat and go! Simple and good. If you are an avocado toast fan you might like this too. If you eat communally or share an office you may want to ensure others in the room are eating it too.
WHEELS OF FIRE MARTINI - This Wheel's on Fire
The perfect balance of sweet, heat, mint,and citrus. Wheels of Fire spicy flavor will stay just a little bit longer on the back of your throat. Caution: *This Wheels on Fire, do not touch with your hands, or hands to your face after touching. Not for the tame and mild bunch. (Stay away from open flames, or you may become a fire breather!)
Crispy Tofu Chips
As someone who likes the idea and taste of bacon but not the texture (or the pork!), I love this accidental - and vegan - discovery: a crispy tofu chips recipe!
Garlic Scape Pesto
Pesto is beginning to make a regular appearance at dinner at my house. Toss it with pasta, spread it on toast; thin it with more olive oil and it'll become a happy alternative to whatever you've been dressing your salads with.
