If I say barley, you probably say mushroom. I love mushroom barley soup, and I make a damn good one . But barley, an ancient whole grain, has applications far beyond mushroom barley soup. I’ve been on a bit of a barley binge lately, riffing on it with different spices, different vegetables. This recipe for…
Harira —A Soothing Bowl of Wonder for Everyone
Harira is a soothing bowl of wonder served to break the daily fast at Ramadan, and the ticket to nurse a cold or lift you out of a bad mood.
Irish Soda Bread
We’re all Irish on St. Patrick’s Day, so let’s all celebrate one of Ireland’s true culinary treasures — soda bread, a traditional loaf made with flour, baking soda, salt, butter and buttermilk. Simple, right? But it tastes greater than the sum of its parts, with an almost Zenlike complexity. There’s the delicate tang from the…
Dal in Living Color
For this moong dal recipe, I use split mung beans. They’re tiny, golden and quick-cooking, and offering up a velvety, spoon-hugging dal.
Sukuma Wiki – Stretch the Week and Celebrate Greens
We end Black History Month with a Swahili language lesson — sukuma wiki. It means “stretch the week.” It also means stretch your budget and get your greens on.

Rosewater is the secret ingredient that adds a hint of roses to this creamy vegan pudding made with plantbased milk.
The Love of Lentils, the Romance of Roots
Lentils! Carrots! These two titanic plantbased ingredients team up in this chic-as-anything French lentil salad. Oft overlooked and undervalued, here they get the love they deserve, bound by a bold Dijon vinaigrette and accented with toasty walnuts. French lentil salad is one of my anytime go-tos, but this week especially. Lentils are legumes or…
Let the Sky Rain Potatoes!
Potatoes are almost everybody’s favorite root vegetable. My husband loves them. I’m more of a cabbage person. And yet, we’re happily married. Potatoes and cabbage make a happy marriage, too, in the classic Celtic dish bubble and squeak. The nutty name comes from the sound of potatoes bubbling on the boil and then squeaking in…
Going to Seed (in a Good Way)
“Seeds are where it all begins,” as I write in Feeding the Hungry Ghost. “They’re superconcentrated sources of energy.” Are they ever. Incredible how something so tiny, smaller than a grain of rice, has the power to push up through the soil, emerge in daylight, and sprout. The basil, kale, mint, arugula, sorrel, peppers…
