Rustic Cabbage Soup
Hearty, healthy, and satisfying - this cabbage soup recipe is super simple to make.

Finish each bowl with a generous drizzle of great olive oil, a couple dollops of sour cream and a jolt of something spicy.

Otsu
You have to try this one! Soba noodles are tossed with a fiery ginger-sesame dressing and a generous amount of cucumbers, scallions, and pan-seared tofu. For over twenty years this has been a desert island recipe in our house.
Sheet Pan Frittata

Turmeric Chickpeas with Garlic Tahini
A quick lunch. And a compelling reason to always keep turmeric chickpeas on hand!
Thai-spiced Zucchini Stew
A chunky zucchini stew, beautifully spiced with a thin, bright, assertive coconut-lime curry broth & a lesson in being adaptable.
Shredded Un-Chicken Salad
A vegetarian take on the Chinese chicken salad of my youth. Toss shredded lettuces and cabbage, lots of cilantro, green onions, and the protein of your choice with a strong sesame-soy dressing punctuated with the bite of hot mustard. Forever one of my favorite salads.
