Splendiferous Salsify Soup

October 26, 2015October 25, 201526 Comments

You probably think I'm crazy. Salsify is a food photographer's worst nightmare. Why would I ever choose something so ugly for my blog? I have to throw out my usual hashtags of #foodporn and #veggieofthegods in place of #eatmuddysticks.If you've ever seen salsify at the farmers market or a specialty produce store, you probably walked [...]

Lemongrass Coconut Ice Cream (Vegan!)

October 2, 2015October 1, 201544 Comments

You might want to sit down. Or maybe even lay down. Yes, this gelato should be eaten laying down to avoid injury when you literally pass out because it is so damn delicious. And yet......so simple! It is so simple in taste and in process that I'm not going to subject you to a prolix [...]

Taming of the Squash: Chayote and Tomato Tart

September 15, 2015September 14, 201527 Comments

Okay, I have two apologies to get out of the way: #1 - I'm sorry I have been MIA . The craziness of summer caught up with me and I've fallen behind. Roaming the aisles of Berkeley Bowl looking for exotic produce inspiration takes quite a bit of time, which I haven't had any extra [...]

Fried Plantains with Roasted Milpero Salsa

August 11, 2015February 21, 201617 Comments

For some, the plantain might be the exotic part of this dish. But to me, the milpero were the little nuggets of exotic, tangy perfection that inspired this concoction. If you're debating whether to read on, let me just say that my trusty taste-tester Mike threw his hat on the floor and cried out "this might be [...]

Kohlrabi Lettuce Wraps

July 28, 2015July 27, 201512 Comments

Hippies and foodies seem to rave about kohlrabi but, outside of this circle, this veggie still seems to be quite exotic. Maybe even unheard of. Unless you're a Fraggle Rock aficionado and remember that in episode 506, one of the fraggles uses kohlrabi juice to poison the knobblies. Don't let kohlrabi's five minutes of TV infamy make [...]

Falafel Waffles with Armenian Cucumber Slaw

July 14, 2015May 20, 201623 Comments

A few years ago, my sister Catherine surprised me with her invention of an amazing culinary treat: "fawafel." No, that's not a typo or a speech impediment. It's falafel waffle. She wanted the delectable taste of falafel without the extra mess and calories from frying, so she threw some falafel mix into waffle batter and [...]

Green Papaya Gazpacho

July 1, 2015July 1, 20158 Comments

Gazpacho is my absolute favorite summertime food. But because the cornerstone of the dish is ripe, juicy tomatoes, I only get to make it a few months out of the year. When it's that time, I go buy tomatoes by the flat at the farmers market (negotiating like a crazy pirate woman) and keep a couple gallons [...]

Prickly Pear Sorbet

June 24, 2015June 24, 201517 Comments

Nothing screams summer like frozen treats. So in honor of the first week of summer, I am introducing you to my life-changing sorbet. Yeah, that's right, LIFE-CHANGING. This sorbet is so lusciously and luxuriously magenta, you won't be able to stop staring at it. And when you take your first bite, you won't be able to stop [...]

Ramped-up Mushrooms

April 26, 2015June 24, 20151 Comment

This post on ramps was brought to you by my husband's journal. Let me explain. He writes a daily entry in a journal that is meant to be written in a little each day for five straight years (he hasn't missed a day).  This book, containing nuggets from our daily lives--- from quotidian to momentous--- [...]

Pea Shoot Pizza with Chive Ricotta and Egg

April 12, 2015June 24, 20155 Comments

This weekend marks the twelfth year my husband and I have been together, so to celebrate I decided to cook us up one of our favorite things in the world: pizza. But being a nutritionist means that I can't serve up some meaty, cheesy bread with little more nutrition than a Lunchable without self-destructing.  So [...]
