They create fragrant magic, turning this cauliflower recipe into an all-star - just read the comments!
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.
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.
Rose Shortbread Cookies
Classic, buttery, whole wheat shortbread cookies. They're fragrant with rosewater, flecked with toasted nuts, and dried rose petals.
Iced Sesame Noodles
Iced sesame noodles have become a thing in our house in recent years. Cold noodles plus a creamy sesame sauce and a line up of great toppings equals custom bowls everyone loves!
Roasted Cauliflower with Tahini
A special roasted cauliflower inspired by Sara Forte’s new cookbook. It’s wildly delicious - loaded with herbs, dates, nuts, roasted red onions and tossed with a tahini dressing.
Anna Jones’ California Salad
A California-inspired Miso, Avocado, & Lima Bean Salad from A Modern Way to Eat, by Anna Jones. Seasonal greens and beans are tossed with an assertive, creamy miso dressing. There are crunchy seeds, and broccoli, and avocado - it all comes together into a brilliant, beautiful, feel-good salad.
Six Seed Soda Bread
Inspired by Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall's soda bread recipe, this version is made with a blend of spelt flour and all-purpose flour. The dough is littered with seeds - sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, poppy seeds, flax seeds, and fennel seeds. It bakes into a perfect, rustic, crusty loaf of bread with relatively little effort.
Miso Sesame Winter Squash
Inspired by a recipe in Bryant Terry's cookbook, The Inspired Vegan. Roasted winter squash (and tofu) is combined here with a wonderful miso, maple, sesame and citrus sauce.
Za’atar Recipe
Za'atar is an incredibly versatile Middle Eastern spice blend, one of my favorites. Particularly this time of year when it's a welcome addition to all sorts of roasted vegetables, soups and stews, or simply sprinkled over everything from yogurt, to eggs, to savory granola.
