I recently had the pleasure of a kitchen visit from Myriam Babin, a photographer and creator of the lovely blog New York Kitchen – you can check out her post here, (she also snapped these pictures during our afternoon together). I took a much-needed break from editing to make us lunch and get to know her gorgeous [...]

When Sarah Britton of My New Roots and Elenore Bendel Zahn of Earthsprout invited me to take part in their Fabulous Fermentation Week, I was delighted! Last time they collaborated they created this gorgeous raw chocolate, so I think we’re in for a treat this week! One of my favorite fermented foods is kimchi. I [...]

I got a little carried away at the market the other morning. My plan was to nip up to Union Square (Farmer’s Market) quickly and gather a short list of ingredients to take upstate for the weekend. As soon as I arrived, I was instantly and delightfully overwhelmed by the beautiful array of newly arrived [...]

I was planning to create a new asparagus recipe to celebrate the first organic asparagus to arrive at the green market today. But when I pulled this lovely purple bunch from the fridge, I decided to share the way I eat it most often, roasted. I know roasting asparagus is not new to many of [...]

Nishimi is a cooking style, that means long cooked with little water. I think of it as the opposite to oshitashi, which is vegetables that are briefly cooked in lots of water, like the blanched watercress you may have eaten in Japanese restaurants. Nishimi is best suited to the cooler months and for root vegetables [...]

I am finally moving back into a new kitchen and have been in domestic bliss the last few days placing bowls of fresh garlic and heirloom tomatoes on the counter, organizing grains and beans into jars and finding places for crockery and other kitchen things that I had forgotten about. Such a pleasure! And with [...]

This labneh, or yogurt cheese as it is sometimes called, was served with the chickpea tagine that I last posted. All it really is, is yogurt strained for about 5 hours or overnight. The whey drips out and what you are left with is a lusciously thick and creamy cheese. It’s a great way to [...]

When we are blessed with beautiful spring days, my approach to meals changes dramatically. I naturally start thinking of lighter foods and dishes that taste good at room temperature, like marinated beets, tender bitter greens, white bean aioli and flavorful roasted vegetable salads, all of which would be perfect paired with this delicious socca. Recommend [...]

Lately I’ve been adding either pickled red cabbage or avocado to many of my quick, throw-together meals. The red cabbage adds the brightness, rich color and tangy flavor that I crave after many winter months. The avocado, we all know, makes every thing better. I love when I decide to go the extra mile and [...]

I am hoping this recipe will inspire you to eat more seaweed. Ideally we should eat a little everyday, but I know how difficult that can be. I often only manage a sheet of nori with lunch or dinner which is much faster than cooking a separate dish like this one. But, once you make [...]
