This gorgeous Tomato and Bread Salad is a lot more than it seems, it’s zesty and tangy, full of textures, and bright, bold flavors. It’s a great way to celebrate summer flavors, and I’m sorry for being so behind and posting this in the middle […]
Side Dishes
Harissa Charred Tomatoes with Yogurt
I made this dish a lot in the summer, sans harissa. Inspired by an Ottolenghi recipe, it’s always a hit. It’s quick and requires very little prep and just a handful of ingredients. I’ve already talked about my love for hosting dinner parties and this […]
Sautéed Zucchini with Charred Tomatoes and Feta
I know fall is right around the corner, and yes I’m looking forward to it, but it’s not too late to squeeze in a few summer recipes before fall is officially here!! This Sautéed Zucchini with Charred Tomatoes and Feta, inspired by a couple Ottolenghi recipes […]
Shrimp Ceviche
When it’s too hot to cook, all I want is a quick and fresh meal to cool me down. Shrimp Ceviche is perfect for those days because it requires zero cooking – although we’re cheating a little here – but it’s bright, fresh, and zesty. […]
Macedonian Kebapi
My Romanian friend recently introduced me to the wonderful world of Eastern European food. I know it’s a vast region, and it encompasses many different cultures, ethnicities, languages, and histories, but it’s still a cuisine I am quite unfamiliar with. There is such a crossover of regional influences, […]
Pan-Fried Eggplant with Miso Tahini Dressing
I’ve been taking full advantage of grilling season, so dinners around here have been featuring a lot of grilled vegetables and fresh salads. Summer meals are about simplicity and flavor, a great opportunity to showcase vegetables and make them the center of a meal. This […]
Roasted Cabbage with Walnuts
I first made this dish a few months ago after a video popped up on my tiktok for you page. It was a time when I was being recommended a lot of cabbage videos, and despite not knowing how the algorithm got me there, I […]
Roasted Cauliflower with Creme Fraiche
Dear reader, how are you? No, really, how are you? As I’m writing this, Ukraine is under attack, several cities being bombed by Russia. When I was a kid in history class, learning about wars and conflicts, it all sounded like things that belonged to […]
Brown Butter Buttermilk Mashed Potatoes
When I decided I wanted to work on a mashed potato recipe, the first two things that immediately came to mind were brown butter and buttermilk. My one job was narrowing it down to one and go from there. But my brain was like, brown […]
Seared Cabbage with Miso Butter
When I first worked on this recipe I did so because I had an overwhelming amount of leftover cabbage I did not know what to do with. It then occurred to me how rarely I eat cabbage, why is that? It’s a controversial vegetable, apparently, […]
Brussels Sprouts With Pancetta and Parmesan Breadcrumbs
These are not Monica’s stinky Brussels sprouts, these Brussels Sprouts With Pancetta and Parmesan Breadcrumbs are far superior – sorry Monica! – allow me to elaborate briefly. Listen, the reality is brussel sprouts are kinda innately stinky. That’s just who they are! No judgement here, […]
Roasted Grape and Acorn Squash Salad with Halloumi
Hi friends! How’s everything? I’ve thrown out my back and it’s been ✨unbearable✨ but you know, no biggie. I’m getting better and feeling human again lol I shot this Roasted Grape and Acorn Squash Salad with Halloumi recipe a while ago, and let’s face it, […]
Roasted Eggplant with Whipped Tahini Sauce
So apparently eggplant is boring and weird, and falls under the “if it tastes bad, it must be good for you” food group. Um, okay I see where you’re coming from, but have you tried Roasted Eggplant with Tahini Sauce? So.. I kinda beg to […]
