Growing up, my mom used to make this Turkish version of muammara every time we had people over. It is so flavorful from the garlic and spices and filling from the walnuts, you can’t have just one bite. Paired with toasted pita, crackers, or whatever you like, it gets your taste buds going.

Black Peppered Green Plate
May 2, 2013 – 9:05 am
I really adore peas, but I’m used to buying them in a can, when they’re already softened by a brine and somewhat at a loss of nutrients. Using fresh peas, I was able to enjoy peas in a healthier, unprocessed way. And green beans were never my cup of tea, until I learned how delicious [...]

There is no way I’ll feel compelled to go back to the white potato after today’s recipe. I’ve skinned, chopped and cooked celeriac (celery root) in butter with a dash of salt and pepper. That’s it. The great thing about celeriac is that it softens quickly – within 2-3 minutes of cooking – and develops [...]

Mushrooms make the best serving plates. Because of their neutral taste, they act as somewhat of a palette cleanser next to the more flavor-packed filling. This recipe uses a simple salmon stuffing and bakes it atop open-faced crimini mushrooms. It’s a serving size made easy for the gut and the eyes. Enjoy!
Light Roasted Red Pepper Party Dip
January 10, 2013 – 9:31 am
Many party dips are deceivingly light. With each scoop, though, you are packing in the calories and unnecessarily so. Store-bought dips are not only packed with fat, since they often use cream cheese or mayonnaise as a base, but also with preservatives, colorings, and other additives. This recipe is for a creamy red pepper dip [...]
