Walnut Rosemary Polenta Cakes

Walnut Rosemary Polenta Cakes

October 11, 2014

When we lived in Brooklyn, sometimes on my way home from work I would stop at this fancy gourmet shop not too far from the subway.

Two Potato Latkes

Two Potato Latkes

October 10, 2014

When I switched to a mostly vegan diet, one of my primary goals was to put plant-based dinners into regular rotation. I felt like I had slipped into a completely meat-dependant way of cooking.

Barley Salad with Kale Pesto

Barley Salad with Kale Pesto

September 8, 2014

I tore this recipe out of Food & Wine way back in July with the intention of making it immediately. I put it up on the fridge and looked at it all the time but…I never got around to actually preparing it. To be fair, it was the middle of the summer, and I was busy stuffing myself with tomatoes, ...
