broccoli with sweet garlic for the under 12 set

Everyone I served this to enjoyed it but the kids raved.

garlic, sichuan pepper broccoli + rice noodles

softened garlic and broccoli with sichuan pepper

You may already have discovered how well broccoli’s poufs (how the tops are referred to in professional circles) suck up...

jackfruit cutlets (a spin on the favourite sri lankan “short eat”)

Across the board in my family, young, old--even my pickiest cousin--no one can resist "cutlets".

must make: feta-stuffed peppers and vegetable bouillon

High, high on my list of things to make are these feta-stuffed peppers. I think these and a glass of wine are going to be dinner this weekend.

woops. we had latkes.

Innocent-enough potatoes and onions would have been on the approved list for my moderate January cleanse. Too bad we threw them into a ton of oil and fried the hell out of them. (Totally worth it!)

a random bite of greens, soy sesame dressing and tahini

So much more than a plate of steamed greens. Crisp nori on the side, cayenne-dusted tahini on top and rice in this remake of the Fresh restaurant classic.

must make: pomegranate lentil soup and a different kind of pumpkin pie

My must-make list! Do you have one too? These are the recipes that sound so good I've bookmarked them, and must make them as soon as I can.

winter salad of fennel, orange and hazelnut

This is the kind of salad that i actually reserve for the colder months--a true winter salad.

curried beans

Swimming in a rich, bright, reddish sauce, these beans on a bed of rice make a completely satisfying and addictive dinner.

the season of the pumpkin…

squashes and pumpkins are available year round, but i crave them mostly in the fall. tis the season.

roasted onion and fennel soup with pistou

French onion soup doesn't call for much more than its star ingredient, and this simple (vegetarian) onion and fennel soup is delightful, if i do say so myself!

rapini orecchiette carbonara

The rapini, cut small and cooked till soft blends into a sauce of egg yolks mixed with Parmesan.
