Summer Fling I love seasonal produce. Any season. It’s the most delicious way I know of being in the moment. And summer produce is the easiest to love. Sweet corn, curvy eggplant, luscious mangoes, creamy avocados, ripe berries. What I don’t love — food waste. And honey, there’s a lot of it. We waste up…
Seed Cake
Posted originally on 03/25/2013 for Huffington Post Meatless Monday: Spring Awakening I’d intended to make this post about Passover and Easter, the two holidays that bookend this week. Nature has had other ideas, signaling to me in my favorite kind of way. The bees have been buzzing around my firebush, the bluejays and mockingbirds are…

Spice Me Up Holiday Rum Cake
Originally posted on12/23/2013 for Huffington Post. Time to get your Christmas on with the Caribbean cake. If the idea of anything other than a white Christmas seems strange, spend Christmas in the islands — they love it there, decorating lavishly, yet tropically, playing their own Christmas carols, more than we have by a mile, all with an…
SEED CAKE

If you do the eyes of that cow will pursue you through all eternity.” This isn’t me talking or even PETA‘s latest ad campaign. The line comes from James Joyce’s 1922 classic, “Ulysses.” “Ulysses” takes…

Chocolate Raspberry Tart
My vegetable love should grow vaster than empires “To his Coy Mistress,” by Andrew Marvell For Valentine’s Day, skip the Viagra, go for vegetables.

Keep Cool*
I am a bit of a hothead. My husband is not. He keeps his cool. He even eats cool. He likes dill, a cooling herb which he fondly associates with his German grandmother and her weighs-a-ton potato kugel. Digestive and restorative, dill is a nice source of vitamin A, which you need to keep all…
Brilliant/Bananas
So often my ideas seem to walk that treacherous intersection between brilliant and bananas.
