It’s July in Miami, and the temperatures are crazy-hot pretty much everywhere. Cool things down with Spain’s summer classic, Ajo Blanco. It translates literally as white garlic, but don’t panic, the garlic flavor is mild in this chilled soup, and the texture is lush and velvety, thanks to almonds and old bread. Ajo Blanco, aka…
Grilled Vegetables – Grits or Polenta Cakes and Zucchini
Grilling — a summer tradition. But guys, the heatwave has been relentless and deadly. It’s just too hot to stand in the heat over an open fire. It’s not safe and it’s not fun. Very well, if you must grill, I recommend consulting grillmaster, Steven Raichlen. Usually Mr. Meat Man, he finally gives vegetables their…

In the Moment Grapefruit and Fennel Salad
Walnuts and arugula add crunch and a spicy bite to this easy Grapefruit and Fennel Salad. Citrus Paradisi — doesn’t it sound romantic? It’s the Latin name for grapefruit.

Making Every Day Earth Day
This Thursday is Earth Day, that time of year when we remember, oh, yeah, gotta do something about the planet. Here’s an easy answer – eat plants. Some of the most ardent plant-based people I know got scared straight — health issues or having the veil of factory farming ripped away. Every reason to eat…

Vegan Harira is made with nourishing ingredients making it the perfect soup for breaking a fast. Ramadan begins tonight at sundown.
