I’m spending my summer in Germany, where asparagus season is celebrated with a passion. It even has its own name: Spargelzeit (asparagus time. Germans love being literal. Look up the German word for gloves and you’ll know what I’m talking about). Asparagus time is a […]
Sometimes when I’m feeling lazy or sad, the last thing I want to do is cook a meal. But the inconvenient part about being human is that you need feed your body in order to keep on living. Of course there are many options that […]
Normally I wouldn’t encourage anybody to use store-bought puff pastry. If you’re looking for efficiency, I’m not the right person to ask for advice because I’ll always be the person who will tell you to make everything from scratch. If I have to blame anyone, […]
If you eat eggs for breakfast every single day, it gets boring very quickly, doesn’t it? I’m one of those people who has eggs for pretty much every single breakfast because I need easy protein and I’m not very creative, it seems. This Skillet Asparagus […]
Marry me chickpeas is an audacious name for a recipe and I respect the confidence. A friend served it at a dinner party and in fact, I almost said yes. I often neglect chickpeas in my daily diet, even though I’m always looking for ways […]
Some days, when I’m struggling to write a blog post and I can’t conjure up anything interesting to say, I wonder what’s the point in all of this. There’s millions of blogs out there and zero need for another eggs in tomato sauce recipe (but […]
Is there anything more intimidating? I supposed not. Eggplants seem to be quite a divisive fruit (yes, it’s a fruit!) and there’s not much room for nuance: you either hate it or you love it. Or maybe you’re someone like me, and everything is a […]
Laurie Colwin once said, “[chicken] salad is like the little black dress, it is chic and adaptable and can be taken anywhere. You can dress it down and feed it to a child, or dress it up and serve it at a dinner party. You […]
I’m not the kind of person to wish away a season, but when I look at this vibrant, gorgeous Tomato Salad on Yogurt, I can’t wait for summer. And by the way, we are halfway through April, which means we’re almost halfway through the year, […]
Are we all in agreement that it’s okay to call a cauliflower steak a steak? I sometimes see comments online and the topic is very controversial. People tend to take it very personally. In any case, let’s agree to call this a Cauliflower Steak with […]
I love a side dish. Who doesn’t love a side dish? Who doesn’t love a side dish that’s doused in butter and parmesan cheese – the iconic duo of the food world? This Cheesy Polenta with Tomato Sauce truly has it all – the butter, […]
This Cucumber Sandwich with Herby Green Mayo is a fresh, simple take on the classic tea sandwich. Light and crisp with a creamy, herby spread, they’re easy to put together and perfect for a light lunch, afternoon tea, or a simple snack. These little sandwiches […]
This dish is a lot of things I like all at once: it’s one pot, it’s eggs poached in a spicy tomato sauce, it’s breakfast. Gochujang is a fairly new ingredient to me, but I like it so much, I’m always looking for an excuse […]
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 […]
I rarely keep any canned food, but there are a few I like to have on hand. Chickpeas and canned tomatoes, for example, are a constant in my cupboard. As much as I enjoy dried chickpeas, for their taste and benefits, soaking them overnight followed […]
