Orange and Fennel Salad

March 9, 2010

This Orange and Fennel Salad is my take on a seasonal classic hailing from Sicily. A late winter salad that is generally made with blood oranges, it’s not just healthy and super simple to make: it’s truly stunning.

When you are using orange zest in a recipe like this cake, it’s very important to use organic [...]

Guacamole And More Superbowl Snack Ideas

February 5, 2010

It’s Superbowl weekend and everyone seems to be posting their favorite Superbowl snacks.
Mind you I have zero interest in football. Maybe less than zero (if that’s possible). I wasn’t even sure who’s playing until I looked it up 5 minutes ago.
That being said, I am interested in the snacks. So whether I watch the [...]

When my friend Holly Shelowitz posted her favorite green smoothie recipe on Facebook, I wanted to try it immediately. I did…and I loved it.

Meyer Lemon Pudding (Mostly Raw and Vegan)

January 18, 2010

When I found Meyer lemons at my local Hannaford’s market last week, I did a little happy dance.

I’ve been hoping they’d show up in my area for many weeks now, ever since I saw this Meyer lemon tart recipe over at Food52.
Meyer lemons are said to be a cross between a lemon (the most common [...]

Fresh Fig and Blackberry Tart

September 18, 2009

I love tarts and pies but I hate making crusts. I find typical pie crusts difficult to get right, and even if a crust made with all natural fats and organic ingredients won’t really harm you, it’s not exactly health enhancing either.
One type of crust that I really enjoy making and eating, though, is a [...]

Raw Tomato Basil Soup

August 19, 2009

It’s still too hot to cook much, so I’m on a blended soup kick.
While I like traditional cooked tomato soup as much as the next person, I think this raw tomato basil soup is even better, especially when you can make it with seasonal organic tomatoes. It’s a bit like a gazpacho, but with a [...]

Lemon Cucumber Pickles

August 15, 2009

Having a great harvest of cucumbers this summer means I’m getting creative with the pickle recipes. These feature the lovely little lemon cucumbers, and they have wonderful spicy flavor from the chili pepper and ginger.
According to The Cook’s Thesaurus, the lemon cucumber is “sweet and flavorful”, basically lacking in “the chemical that makes [...]
