Roast Squash and Kale Salad with Cheddar and Almonds
January 30th, 2012by Caroline I spotted this salad on the terrific Food52 blog and had to try it. I am not yet tired of kale salad in all its variations, and this one wisely adds cheese. I’ve linked to the original recipe so that you can see some specific amounts, but this is how I did it: [...]
Maple Roasted Nuts
December 19th, 2011by Caroline Lots of people make some version of a sweet or spicy roasted nut during the holidays; this is what Tony makes every year. We give bags to all our teachers and then snack on them all season long. 1 pound nuts ¼ cup maple syrup ¼ teaspoon cinnamon ½ teaspoon salt 1 tablespoon [...]
Roasted Chickpeas
December 16th, 2011by Caroline Where was I during the Great Roasted Chickpea Craze of 2010? Google the phrase and you’ll find that apparently everyone was making them, or eating them, except me. But though I’m late to the party, I am happy to be here, because this is a delicious and easy snack. There seem to be [...]
Homemade Ramen Noodles
December 5th, 2011by Caroline At some point this summer, I picked up the inaugural issue of David Chang’s new food magazine, Lucky Peach, and then, overwhelmed by work on this book, I let it drop to the bottom of my reading pile. Because this is not the kind of food magazine you flip through, tearing out recipes, [...]
Fall Fruits & Cucumber Salad
November 21st, 2011by Caroline It’s not that often my kids come to the farmer’s market with me anymore. Our neighborhood market is Sunday morning, and it’s easier if I stock up in an early strike mission on my way home from a run, before the boys are even out of their pj’s. But we all went together [...]
Roasted Cauliflower with Chard, Chickpeas and Dukkah
November 7th, 2011by Caroline Chard and cauliflower are two of my family’s favorite winter vegetables, but I’d never thought to combine them in one dish, nor to add chickpeas to make it a really hearty vegetarian dish (this would be a great way to keep your favorite vegetarians and vegans happy at Thanksgiving). Plus the dukkah is [...]
Butternut Squash & Hominy Stew
October 31st, 2011by Caroline This is absolutely not a recipe I would make just for my family, since my kids are at the stage when stews and other cooked food mixtures don’t appeal to them at all (although they will happily eat their own weird combinations of food, if they make them themselves). But, this recipe arrived [...]
Cauliflower Compote
October 23rd, 2011by Caroline So, remember last week, I wrote about single words that can draw you into a recipe? Well, compote is definitely not one of those words for me. It just sounds like a food dump; I guess it sounds a bit too much like compost. But the combination of ingredients in this recipe from [...]
Pasta Romanesco
October 17th, 2011by Caroline Of all the new vegetables we’ve met via our CSA — the cardoons, the agretti — I think my favorite might be romanesco broccoli, the fractal vegetable. It’s firmer than standard broccoli but sweeter than cauliflower, and it tasted great the other night in an easy pasta with lemon zest, sliced almonds, and [...]
Pumpkin Coconut Milk Curry
October 5th, 2011by Caroline My parents are visiting this week (on the California leg of my Dad’s book tour) — and that means I am experimenting with recipes I wouldn’t make for just the four of us. My parents (unlike my children) are eager and adventurous eaters, and while the food here ultimately matters less to them, [...]
