A list of fun pasta shapes to make from scratch in your own kitchen Including hand-rolled pici, cavatelli, and tagliatelle.
Cinnamon Vanilla Sunflower Seed Butter
This homemade sunflower seed butter is accented with a blizzard of cinnamon and a slather of vanilla bean paste. It’s a dream on your favorite toasted bread.
Edible Flowers
I get a lot of questions related to sourcing and using edible flowers. Here are a few of the things I do to ensure I have a supply throughout the year.
Homemade Onion Powder
Homemade onion powder is a fantastic way to minimize waste and put the tops of spring onions, leeks, and scallions to good use. You can use it as a simple seasoning or to transform everything from ranch dressing to compound butters. It’s the perfect finishing touch for salads, grain bowls, and so many pastas.
Rye Crepes
This recipe can deliver rustic rye flour crepes for days. Fill them with sweet or savory fillings for any meal of the day.
Homemade Tagliatelle
Homemade tagliatelle pasta is long, slender, flat, and a much-loved pasta shape. For good reason! It works with a range of sauces and if you have flour, eggs, olive oil, and salt you can make it immediately.
Seeded Popovers
Popovers are the most delightful thing my oven produces - sky-high and billowy. Here's my go-to recipe, a few tips, and the overall technique I use.
Homemade Chili Crisp
The defining detail of this spicy chili crisp is the use of chopped dates and fresh orange zest alongside chili flakes, chili powder, garlic, fried shallots and a dynamic list of spices. Use it to top everything from noodles to a morning scramble and you’ve got something wildly delicious and special on your hands.
Savory Power Bars
These homemade power bars are based on the recipe I published years ago in Super Natural Cooking. The main difference here is I made these savory with toasted walnuts, crumbled kale chips, and oil-cured olives.
Citrus Furikake
If you tend to keep a lot of citrus around the kitchen, this citrus furikake is a great way to use grapefruit, orange, yuzu or lemon peels. It is a homemade seasoning that works on everything from eggs to rice bowls, noodles to salads.
