I wrote this many years ago, in the rich, riotous throes of Miami mango season, long before Covid-19 altered life for all of us. Even in these dark, uncertain days, it’s mango season once again. Savor the sweetness and believe in the bright, sunny days to come. I’d intended a loftier, more literary tone and…
Pappa Al Pomodoro: A New Life for Old Bread | Conscious Cookery Day 6
Pappa Al Pomodoro is a soup for everyone made with old bread and bursting with flavor. This soup is a great way to reduce waste and increase consciousness. Before Covid-19 changed our world, many Americans were avidly anti-bread, following Paleo, Keto and gluten-free diets. Sheltering in place has brought out everyone’s inner baker. It’s as…
Just Add Water – Cocina Povera | Conscious Cookery Day 4
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.

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…

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…
