Grapefruit Curd with Ginger
This vibrant grapefruit curd is perfect slathered on scones, waffles, and shortbread. A jolt of freshly pressed ginger juice makes it extra special.
Ginger-kissed Grapefruit Juice
This grapefruit juice will jolt you to attention. It’s just the thing if you’re looking for something bright, invigorating, spicy, and full volume citrus. Steep grated ginger in a bit of sugared water, and then strain it into a lime & grapefruit juice blend. Inspired by a version in the Rose Bakery cookbook.

Citrus Salt
A spectrum of citrus salts made from all sorts of winter citrus zest - clementines, Makrut lime, Meyer lemon, kalamansi oranges, and mandarinquats. The process couldn't be simpler.
Braised Broccoli with Orange and Parmesan
A simple one-pan broccoli recipe I've made three times in the past ten days. Parmesan cheese, tomatoes, orange juice, and oregano deliver a wild ride of big flavor.

This sake mushroom recipe was inspired by a stack of papers in my kitchen. There was a note that simply said: big mushrooms, dunk in sake, dredge in rice flour, sauté, salt, dot with miso butter.
Red Lentil Soup with Lemon
An earthy, turmeric and mustard-spiked lentil soup served over brown rice with spinach and thick yogurt.
