Cold Medicine
Chicken soup with a Thai twist, rich with coconut milk and aromatic with curry and lemon---a not-so-common cure for the common cold!
Rotolo
An incredibly labor-intensive dish, fresh pasta (my own egg-free version with garbanzo beans!) is filled jelly-roll style with ricotta, kale and ham, boiled like a sausage, and then sliced and baked with a rich tomato…
Salmon with Pickle Butter
An easy compound butter of chopped pickle, tarragon, and mustard is the perfect complement for practically any fish.
Oatmeal Fluff
An unlikely combination---"oatmeal" and "souffle"---makes a delightfully unusual combination, especially when paired with a slightly tangy fruit sauce.
Spaghetti Squash Gratin
A sure-fire way to introduce the squeamish to spaghetti squash---slather it in cheese sauce and bread crumbs!
Ch-Ch-Ch
Cinnamon rolls for the impatient---a non-yeasted recipe that bakes up in muffin cups for an adorable presentation. And they are egg-free, thanks to the gelling property of chia seeds.
Leftover Night, Volume III: Carnivore Edition
Four different meat-centric meals, covering all the bases: beef brisket, crumb-coated pork, roasted chicken, and lamb shanks braised with lentils and curry.
Mom’s Macaroni Soup
A trip down Memory Lane with a very simple soup of macaroni, milk and butter.
Monsieur Monte
Call it what you will, this sandwich is exploding with flavor from Gruyere, prosciutto, herbes de Provence, Dijon mustard and Parmesan.
Letting Them Eat Cake
A casually elegant cake, rich with coconut and chocolate chips, is the perfect way to ring in the new year---or any old weeknight, for that matter!
