Yesterday I was whipping up a batch of hummus (using my easy creative homemade hummus recipe) when the jar of Thai red curry paste in my refrigerator caught my eye. I plopped about a tablespoon of it into the food processor along with the other ingredients (canned chick peas, lemon juice, olive oil, paprika, black […]
I was in the mood for Mexican the other night, but realized we didn’t have any tortillas, taco shells, or rice in the house. Feeling a little ambitious, I googled “tortilla recipe” just to see how hard it would be to make them myself. As it turns out, not so hard! I followed this basic […]
I love it when the fall produce starts rolling into the market. So many delicious vegetables come along with the cooler weather (which I also happen to love). This adorable little pumpkin (labeled as a “small halloween” at my local store) caught my eye the other day, so home it came. Tonight’s dinner featured oven […]
Isn’t it beautiful? And chock full of nutrients, too.
Like all Swiss chard varieties, it’s best to separate the stalks from the leaves and cook them separately (or at least for different amounts of time), since the stalks require a longer cooking time. I used this in a stir-fry with other seasonal vegetables, tofu, and a […]
It’s cucumber season! Here’s a fun fact: cucumbers are the most common vegetable in the whole world, with China being the largest producer. The cucumber is officially a member of the squash family, and technically a fruit.
Cucumbers are available year-round in most places, but there really is a difference if you get them fresh and […]
As the northern hemisphere creeps towards autumn, corn is coming into season. It has been available here in Switzerland for a few weeks, but may come earlier or later depending on your location. Sweet, fresh corn is a real treat, and so delicious that it can be eaten completely on its own.
Corn always reminds me […]
These big, white radishes are very popular items at the farmers markets around here these days. This one is about a foot long, good for at least two large portions of veggie. Daikon radishes feature in several different Asian cuisines, and are quite versatile to cook with.
Daikon radishes can be eaten raw or cooked. Raw […]
Despite the snow that has been falling here for the last couple days, I know that spring is on its way. Although the official German asparagus season (yes, there really is an official season, mandated by law) hasn’t yet begun, the veggies are starting to show up more and more in my local grocery store. […]
I love it when I go into the grocery store or to the green market and a new seasonal veggie has made its appearance. I especially love it when that veggie is one of my all-time favorites. So you can imagine my giddiness when I ran in to the store to grab some soy milk […]
I’ve always thought of caponata more as an appetizer, but Quick Vegetarian Pleasures describes it as a ‘cold Sicilian eggplant salad.’ No matter what you call it, it’s delicious, and I figured it was high time for me to learn how to make it. Besides, my diet contains entirely too few capers these days.
I’m too […]
