Eggplants are popping out in northeast CSA shares this week. And farmer’s markets are crawling with tomatoes. Thus this seems like the perfect dish to try this week. It can easily fly solo as a vegetarian main course, or be served as a hearty side to a simple sausage or...
This recipe is a great way to get some low-fat protein and fiber worked into your diet with a huge flavor profile. It’s simple to make and only takes about half an hour from start to finish. And did you know that the Chinese black bean, also known as Douchi,...
This meal was inspired by a recipe posted on WHF for Asian Sauteed Cauliflower. I say “inspired by” because, of course, it grew into something very different. The stand-out element here is the dressing that you make for the vegetables. It’s a little salty and a little sweet, and it’s...
Alas, this dish has no cute story to go with it. Just a fantastic flavor profile, and lots of textures. It’ll make your home smell wonderful and you’ll be wanting to sample straight from the pan all the while it cooks. And that’s not a bad idea either. This way...

This is a vegetarian dish where there is so much going on flavor-wise, you never even realize that there’s no meat. Sweet chunks of red bell pepper meet with tart pieces of eggplant and meld together in the spices for a fantastic stew that is rich in vitamin c and...
I will admit to being a bit apprehensive about attempting paella. This dish is so rich in tradition and is thought of by many as the national dish of Spain for goodness sakes. With the list of expensive ingredients (and I did an abridged version) I did not want to...
