We waste up to half our food in this country. This is unacceptable in the best of times and now, in this time of lockdown, well, just don’t do it. Give produce bits and bobs the second chance they deserve. Make vegetable broth and agua fresca for free. Free. Do I have to say it…
Get More Whole Grains Into Your Life
If you’re like me, you keep wondering what you can do to protect yourself from the coronavirus — and ensuing craziness. Wash your hands. Hydrate. Avoid crowds. Load up on hand sanitizer (if you can get it). And eat whole grains. Wednesday is Whole Grains Sampling Day, your friendly reminder from the Whole Grains Council…
My Favorite People, My Favorite Recipes – Joe Yonan
Impeachment acquittal, Trump’s State of the Union address, don’t get me started. What’s really exciting in DC these days isn’t happening on Capitol Hill, it’s happening at the Washington Post. Food editor Joe Yonan has fallen for beans. His new cookbook Cool Beans is a veritable love letter to legumes. This post contains affiliate links….
My Favorite People, My Favorite Recipes – The Incomparable José Andrés
As you’re reading this, I’m on my way back from Spain, birthplace of the great chef with the great big heart, José Andrés. No, I haven’t been hanging with José (if only). In addition to overseeing his 30+ restaurants, Andrés has been busy cooking up some comfort for Puerto Rico’s earthquake victims. This is not…
Seven Sacred Foods Salad
Three Holidays, One Umoja Recipe I had Chanukah in mind with this recipe, which I demoed yesterday at Temple Solel’s first-ever Jewish Vegetarian Food Festival, but it would be happy to be on anyone’s holiday table. With Chanukah, Christmas and Kwanzaa all clustered together in the same week, it’s an opportunity to celebrate our cultural…

She’s done it with numerous co-authors including Chrissy Teigen, with whom Sussman partnered for Teigen’s bestselling cookbooks Cravings and Cravings: Hungry For More. In Sababa, Sussman’s first solo effort, the food passions are her own. Sababa is Israeli slang…
Vegan Harira
Life in the Fast Lane Originally posted on 8/23/2010 for Huffington Post Yom Kippur, the Jewish Day of Atonement, starts tomorrow night at sundown. Like Ramadan, it’s a time for reflection and like that holiday, is often observed by fasting. For all our perceived differences, we all share so much in common. We are midway…
Romesco Sauce
Wake up veggies with romesco sauce Originally posted on 3/27/2013 for The Buffalo News Romesco sauce is a wakeup call for boring veggies. Gutsy and garlicky, this Spanish sauce is sultry with ground almonds. Rich and intense, it’s complex enough to hold its own. It has a rosy terracotta hue, but it’s more than just…
Creamy Dill Dip
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…
Quinoa with Cashews, Mango and Mint
Magic mangoes, sexy salads, sweaty me — and so worth it. I had so much fun being part of Fairchild Garden’s Mango Festival, plus it gave me the opportunity to upgrade a mango recipe and give it a new tropical twist. My old quinoa and mango salad recipe is serviceable, but Mango Fest made me…
