I’m totally in a bulgur streak these days. You’ll see what I mean by the end of the week. I don’t know much about nutrition, but I have a sneaky feeling when you’re trying to eat healthy, bulgur is the right way to go if your number one goal is to stay away from pasta. […]
Greetings from London! I’m going to go straight to the point today —er, tonight, because let’s be honest, there’s much better things to do in this city than typing on a good old laptop. I have a great salad recipe for you. The kind that takes you out of your comfort zone (the ‘greens + […]
To start off the weekend, I won’t give you French pastries or sweet puddings. Let’s end salad week on a light and fresh note. It’s officially September, but hey, I don’t want the summer to end [insert picture of girl breathing through her stomach to get through the last few days of summer alive. And […]
Feta, fresh herbs, grilled vegetables. Repeat. That was clearly the rotation of the summer. To end salad week on a happy note, here is a zucchini salad which shines at every turn. Do not omit the mint, because it holds the freshness that brings all the flavors together. And since I’m (still) back from vacation, […]
I can’t take any credit for this one. Not that I can take credit for most of my recipes. But this one is just genius, and not an ounce of it came from me. It all came from Master Ottolenghi. The one and only. The chef that turns a vulgar potato salad into gold. Once […]
We all sort of know how to make tzatziki, it’s not really rocket science. However, I always felt that Greek yogurt + herbs + cucumber never really added up to mind-blowing tzatziki. I recently discovered that authentic Greek tzatziki is often made with goat milk or sheep milk yogurt. Why not add fresh goat cheese […]
Hey, another one of those titles where I couldn’t fit my favorite ingredient. What’s up with me? I should know better than to neglect my favorite ingredients. They deserve to be praised. Case in point: fresh mint. I think I’ve professed my love for fresh mint in about every other post here, so I won’t […]
Aka “the can soup”. I know, this is not at all a summer soup, let alone a June soup, but it has been raining like s*** for days over Paris, and tonight I was fed up, and I was nervous, and I was officially on a diet (the Monday syndrome), and it *is* June after […]
Mint is awesome. Mint in the summer is awesomer. You can add it to anything anytime, and it will make it brighter and fresher. I had bought these gorgeous-looking strawberries at the market, and I was in the mood to make something with mint. Because, you know, mint is awesome. (You see my point?) I […]
