Christmas Gingerbread | Caribbean Gingerbread
Adorable gingerbread angels and elaborate gingerbread houses are a beloved Christmas tradition. But gingerbread isn’t just for decoration, it’s delicious. And it’s not just for Christmas. Ginger is a tropical rhizome (not a root, a rhizome) so fuss-free and hearty, even I can grow it. Fresh ginger is used all over the Caribbean to punch…
Vegan Cookie Swap
My vegan cookie version of Aunt Minnie’s Cookies is perfect for the holidays but the original recipe yields a lot of cookies. Ideal for a cookie swap, but if you are looking for a smaller batch, give this vegan version of a classic thumbprint cookie a try. I grew up an only child, but when…
The Artichoke Heart of the Matter
The artichoke is a star in its own right but every great star deserves a brilliant supporting actor and this red pepper dip fits the bill. Is this artichoke not a thing of beauty? It’s from the estimable Catherine, one of my fellow volunteer instructors at Common Threads. She’s working on perfecting her artichoke for…

Lentils are low water, low carbon, high yield, they actually put nutrients back into the soil. They put nutrients in us, too, being loaded with fiber and protein. French lentil salad will fuel…
Banana Bread
Everyone has a banana bread recipe. But they’re not my grandmother’s recipe. Hers was the first banana bread I ever tasted, and it spoiled me for any other. It was tender, moist, banana-intense, racy with vanilla, homey, and comforting. As a child, it did not occur to me banana bread could be otherwise. But as…
Not Your Nonna’s Pasta for World Pasta Day
Today is World Pasta Day, created by the Italians to celebrate the food the whole world loves. How do you pasta? For me, pasta without a drizzle of olive oil for silkiness and gilding seems lonely, It’s probably nothing your nonna would approve of, either. You don’t want to piss off your nonna. I’m stingy…
