Shaved Brussels Sprout Slaw

October 19, 2020 by Ellen Kanner Leave a Comment

brussels sprouts

Alan Roettinger doesn’t make bland food. He strives for extraordinary and his Shaved Brussels Sprout Slaw is no exception. This is one outrageously delectable hot-sweet-sour-pungent-creamy tangle of crunchiness and color. Originally posted on HuffPost 10/07/2013. In a world of meh, Alan Roettinger goes for extraordinary. “I want to make extraordinary food accessible to the average…

Fireworks Black Bean and Mango Salad

June 29, 2020 by Ellen Kanner Leave a Comment

A salad with mango, black beans and a hint of chili perfect for Independence day.

This Black Bean and Mango Salad is so quick and easy, it barely qualifies as a recipe. But it explodes with pizzazz, pairing the sweet summer burst mango (let’s hear it for fresh, seasonal and local — summer means mango season in South Florida) with a zing of chili. Black beans add fiber for fullness…

Sweet Potato Salad with Tahini and Ginger

Social justice is making news now, and the whole world is paying attention. Attention is great. Action is better. We all need to pursue social justice every day and support our own communities as a way of life. I am excited to see so many local businesses and organizations creatively seeking ways to do just…

Mango Pulp Fiction – Naked Mango Salad

May 25, 2020 by Ellen Kanner 3 Comments

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…

Moroccan Carrot Salad

April 22, 2020 by Ellen Kanner Leave a Comment

Today, Earth Day turns 50.  For half a century, we’ve devoted a day to make up to the planet the damage we’ve done.  Tomorrow at sundown marks the start of Ramadan. It’s very early this year, but right on time with the way we’re living in this time of coronavirus. Ramadan is 30 days of…

Get More Whole Grains Into Your Life

March 23, 2020 by Ellen Kanner Leave a Comment

This salad include whole grains and other foods mentioned in Deuteronomy.

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 – The Incomparable José Andrés

January 27, 2020 by Ellen Kanner 2 Comments

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

December 9, 2019 by Ellen Kanner Leave a Comment

This salad include whole grains and other foods mentioned in Deuteronomy.

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…

Quinoa with Cashews, Mango and Mint

July 17, 2019 by Ellen Kanner Leave a Comment

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…

French Lentil Salad

July 15, 2019 by Ellen Kanner Leave a Comment

Tender new asparagus, fresh artichokes as big as your head, sweet, sun-kissed apricots, hyssop plants and two puppies so young their eyes weren’t even opened — I wanted everything at the Thursday farmer’s market in Chinon.  I wanted the wild poppies and lavender of June and the golden light of the French countryside, too. None…
