Sukuma wiki means “to stretch the week”—in other words, using these greens, which are affordable and readily available, can help stretch any meal a bit further. It’s Miami’s growing season, and I’m enjoying an exuberance of greens from our little garden and from @BeeHeavenFarm CSA— kale, mustard greens, dandelion, sorrel, arugula — I love ’em all. I…

It’s New Year’s Eve! Again! The Lunar New Year begins tomorrow, ushering in the Year of the Water Tiger.

Nduja Makes Nice plus The Pleasure of Pasta
Nduja — looks like a typo, tastes like a wow. Nduja is a luscious Italian pate of Calabrian chili, fennel, garlic, and, alas, pork. But not here. My vegan nduja recipe, inspired by a version at Giorgio Rapicavoli’s Luca hits all the right flavor notes. It has the same gutsy spices, but no pig. Fresh…

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…
