Crispy Caramelized Brussels Sprouts over Miso Lime Noodles Recipe

Now my experience has shown me that appetizers and starters are almost always more interesting than entrees. And once again, it is true in this case. I love cucumber soda. A mix of cucumber juice (not through a juicer, but pureed in a Vitam

Easy Japanese Noodles Recipe

The recipe below is really about the sauce. It’s a simple basic Japanese Noodles base called Mentsuyu. It is a mixture of konbu broth, soy sauce, mirin and sugar. You can make this sauce in bulk and store it in your fridge to dress any vege

Garlicky Linguine with Maple Tempeh Recipe

I know. I know. I promised I would be gentle. And here I go, not even a month along and I’m already posting about tempeh. Wait, wait. Before you throw your hands up in “I-knew-she-was-going-to-go-all-vegan-granola-on-me” disbelief and close

blistered peppers

Hot Blistered Shisito Peppers

These peppers are Shisito peppers and if that question’s answer was in Scoville units, this would be a 0 or 1. (Answer: NOT). The Scoville is an organoleptic test that measures the heat or capsaicin content of peppers. (Really, I just wante

No Bake Pumpkin Pie {Silky Smooth} Recipe

Its almost Thanksgiving Eve. Your friends are posting about baking marathons, turkey frying woes and “the best stuffing” wars on Facebook. You? You still haven’t decided on what to bring to your potluck and Homer Simpson’s “You don’t win fr

Quinoa Cornmeal Skillet Bread Recipe

Herbes de Provence and Cornbread. Definitely an unexpected and unlikely coupling but I assure you are the most suprisingly compatible things.

Raw Cheesecake with Chocolate Ganache Recipe

It is very easy to create metaphors between love and food. Food is divine – an appetizing allegory for love – which is definitely and infinitely delectable. Both are visceral, encompassing and intellectually impossible to reduce down to the

10 Easy Frozen Treats to Cool You Down

This weekend, we’ll hit the first day of the last month of summer. It’s that time of year when we all should really, really take it easy. Try to go slow. Savor the long days of sunshine.

Savory Oatmeal

I have a confession. I’m a member of a group with a certain, um, proclivity. It’s not unique. Everyone has these particular fantasies. We just go one step further and make these fantasies reality. Then we take photos and share it with every

vegan brownies

Five-Minute Fudge Brownies

Its 10 o’clock. Do you know where your brownies are? That’s the question that confronted me last night as I bolted to the kitchen, hyperventilating, realizing, that NO, I didn’t know where my brownies are. And I had an excruciating craving

Easy Summer Rolls

We’ve hit it. Summer Solstice. 93 degrees. Heat index 100. Cooking is a bad word. RAW is good. Now while these rolls are technically not 100% raw (the rice had to be turned into paper rolls at some point!), let’s not split hairs. You will n

Crispy Caramelized Brussels Sprouts over Miso Lime Noodles

In a Facebook exchange asking my friends for fiction recommendations, (I fear that reading fiction has been elevated/relegated(?) to “bucket list” level for me) a few people could not help but recommend a nonfiction book, Seabiscuit. It got

Am I Hot or Not?

If you are old enough to have lived through Tech Bubble 1.0 (a.k.a. “the dot-com bubble” – who even uses the word dot-com anymore?!), you know what I’m talking about (and you also know what hampsterdance is).

Klassy HoHos

And such is my loving relationship with that word. Come on. Have you heard anyone who was actually, truly what “classy” aspires to describe say that word? As Guy Kawasaki said, its like bragging that you’re modest. There you have it. As soo

Persephone’s Revenge

We’ve all had our revenge fantasies. From the “involuntary” schadenfreude to the out and out Sesame Street-style “what would happen if I pop this balloon..?” But the best revenge is always the sweet kind. Which brings me to this cake. I can

Clean and Soba

Went to the library this past weekend and took out three books: Everyday Harumi, The Japanese Kitchen and Momofuku. Everyday Harumi and Momofuku are making the transition to my Amazon shopping cart.

Lentil Chili with Chocolate

Its Cinco de Mayo. And this recipe has nothing to do with it. I say that because I fear the Mexican equivalent of the A.O.C. if I claim otherwise. While this is not in any way, shape, or form, claiming to be a version of Oaxacan mole, consi

Guacaboule

This recipe was an accident. I declare that because — while tempting — it would be absolutely disingenuous to take full culinary credit. It is dangerous. I can eat this whole thing in one sitting.

Hack the Mac!

I don’t think I need to write a long preamble to mac and cheese.

Carrot Spice Cake with Coconut Cream Frosting

Cinnamon. Nutmeg. Cloves. It seems like as soon as fall season hits, these spices find their way to the front of my spice rack. It’s the delicious aroma of fall.

Fall Fritters

October. The first real breath of fall. The air is crisp. The leaves are starting to turn. Summer’s bright white hue changes to a spectrum of browns, reds, rust, orange and yellow…And I start to yearn for winter squash.

Quinoa Kasha Pilaf with Tamari Maple Tempeh

Trust me on tempeh. I know tempeh is one of those great dividers — that qualifier in your head that puts people left of the crunchy left. I must confess that this recipe was my rite of passage. I made tempeh once, years ago, to horrific res

Homemade High Fiber Light Pumpernickel Bread (No Need to Knead!)

I have so much reverence for the craft of making bread and have utter respect for the talented artisans that make them. To me, it seems like the most meditative baking ritual, and only those blessed with the innate intuition would know how

Mashed Potato Quinoa Puffs with Sriracha Mayo

Fiddling with mashed potatoes sounds like a Rube Goldberg exercise, but, dear reader, to come up with a way to liberate it from the confines of a table and fork setting, to be enjoyed wherever we please – this is a necessary complication.
