Recipes
Morel Polenta Tartlets
A lot of great things have happened over the past few months and our new little guy Xander has kept me very busy. Now that I am better adjusted to motherhood I am back and ready to write.
Creamy Corn Soup with Coconut Milk
This month I’m doing cooking demos at the New York Botanical Gardens in a series sponsored by Growing Chefs. All of my recipes are seasonal, market and garden fresh. I’m keeping the dishes simple to create so that no matter what age or cooking expertise, you can enjoy the recipes.
Shrimp and Broccoli with Garlic and Chili
I’m always searching for delicious weekday recipes that are also nourishing, and all in one dishes are my favorites. Whenever I can, I love saving clean-up time. This dish has so many appeals, but most important it takes seconds to whip up.
Leeks Vinaigrette
I usually opt for leeks in many recipes where you may use onions. They’re sweeter and more delicate, and a great way to maximize flavor. Here’s a simple, no fuss-yet satisfying way to prepare them.
Artichoke Brebis Blanche Tart
This recipe was inspired by my urgent need to use all of the perishable ingredients possible when my fridge suddenly decided to stop cooling. It hardly even deserves a formal recipe because of its simplicity.
Roasted Sweet Potatoes with Fennel Apple and Pecans
When you have an insatiable sweet tooth, I recommend a sweet potato dish. This is the dish I came up with recently for someone who always wants sweet flavors and whose most favorite vegetable happens to be Sweet Potatoes.
Green Goddess Dressing Revamped
I recently had a request from a magazine to create some lighter versions of standard dressings. One of my favorite ways to lighten up dressings is to use pureed vegetables in the actual dressing to create a richer texture without the heaviness of cream or egg.
