First century Rome predated Viagra by quite a bit. They had their own aphrodisiac — arugula. Pliny the Elder raved about its amatory properties. This luscious dish is arugula-packed and easy. It’s party-perfect, because you can make it in advance and tastes best at room temperature, so it’s sturdy enough to for a buffet. It…

July Vegans of the Month — Planted in Miami’s Jeanette and Alex Ruiz
Wow! I’m excited to get so many nominations for my new Vegan of the Month feature. Thanks to all who wrote in (and you know who you are). For July, I’ve chosen not one vegan, but two — Jeanette and Alex Ruiz, better known as that plant-based podcasting pair, Planted in Miami. They’re long-time locals…
EatWith July 2015
What would you do if ten strangers showed up at your home? Saturday night, I did what I always do to put people (including myself) at ease — I fed people. This is why everyone came in the first place. This how EatWith works. We’re a global network of hosts who do pop-up dinner in…

So often my ideas seem to walk that treacherous intersection between brilliant and bananas. Here’s one that’s both — it’s brilliant and the best thing to do with bananas since my banana bread recipe, the one everyone clamors for at my husband’s place of employ. Two basic ingredients, neither of them dairy, and no need…
Reader, I Blush

Mushroom Risotto
Those of my ilk were once considered Pythagoreans, as in Pythagoras. Best known as ancient Greece’s math geek extraordinaire, Pythagoras was also into music and philosophy.
