BLACK BEAN NACHOS WITH AVOCADO CILANTRO CREMA & MANGO SALSA.

Instead of asking, “Why nachos?”, I urge you to ponder this question: Do you ever not want nachos? How can you resist the salty, creamy, spicy, tangy, crunchy, layered goodness? You cannot. Give in. Why? Because nachos can be made in…

ARUGULA, WHITE NECTARINE & FETA SALAD.

Because we don’t always have time to make elaborate meals. Because simple food allows each ingredient’s flavor to be wholly recognized and celebrated. Because easy is delish. Because balancing salty, sweet, acid, and bitter feels so right, and this salad…

APRICOT PEACH COFFEE CAKE WITH ALMOND STREUSEL & HONEY CARDAMOM YOGURT.

Before we talk about mouthwatering, moist, crumbly, fruity, cinnamony coffee cake, a note on food identities… (I know, I know—but it’ll be fun! Trust me.) I was raised vegetarian and throughout my life have also called myself vegan, raw, pescatarian,…

WATERMELON FETA SALAD WITH FRESH BASIL.

There is nothing that says summer more than this salad: Juicy, luscious watermelon, cooling basil, and mellow, creamy feta. You can eat it outside. You can eat it lying down. You can eat it with your fingers. You can feed…

GLUTEN-FREE COCONUT WAFFLES WITH LEMON MAPLE WHIPPED CHÈVRE & STRAWBERRIES.

THE SUMMER WEEKEND CLEANSER: PINK GRAPEFRUIT, MINT & SPINACH.

KALECAMOLE WITH SMOKED SALT.

Kale. Guacamole. Kale. Guacamole. Kale. Guaca… KALECAMOLE. So good. No other words necessary. Quick guac tip: I’ve taken to grating my garlic and jalapeño in, rather than mincing it—the flavors blend much more fully, and, um, it’s WAY easier than…

SAUV BLANC SIMMERED PEACH & DRUNKEN GOAT GRILLED CHEESE.

NECTARINE GALETTE WITH FRANGIPANE CARDAMOM.

This is my first go at a galette, and I’m completely enamored. The simplicity of the dessert allows perfect summer fruit to take the main stage. Today: Juicy, intoxicating nectarines. Paired with the richness of almond and the slight headiness…

BALSAMIC LENTILS WITH CARAMELIZED ONIONS & LEMON FENNEL YOGURT.

These are not your mama’s lentils. This dish is ideal for a meatless yet hearty lunch or dinner feast. I particularly love serving it at large dinner parties—both because it’s a crowd pleaser, and because it’s insanely easy to make.…

BLOOD ORANGE & FENNEL SALAD WITH OIL CURED OLIVES.

I’m so into fennel right now. (I’m sure you can tell—almost everything savory I’ve posted in the past month has fennel in it…) The crunch, the sweetness, and the freshness pair so perfectly with both sweet and savory flavors. Yet…
