Carrot and Chickpea Salad
This post is for my brother Andrew. He left last week for a 4-month public health research trip in Karachi, Pakistan. He has started a fascinating blog about living in Pakistan and working at the Indus Hospital. Anyway, when he isn’t being a public health superhero, it feels like he is sending me emails about [...]
Chopped Greek Salad
Now that the weather is warming up in Vegas, I’m starting to crave crunchy and cool salads for lunch. As much as I enjoy salads, it is sometimes pretty easy to get in a salad rut, especially since most nights we have a green salad as part of our dinner. While this Chopped Greek Salad [...]
Warm Winter Vegetable Salad
I went to the farmers’ market by our house today to stock up on our weekly produce and the strawberry guy was back with a stand after being gone for a few months. Yes, it was 70 degrees and sunny today in Las Vegas, but strawberry season at the beginning of March? It just seems [...]
Roasted Squash Salad with Maple Vinaigrette
I really enjoy a good salad. Meat is an easy way to bulk up a salad, but another trick is adding roasted butternut squash as a topping. It adds a nice sweetness to your salad, as well as some beautiful colour and perhaps more importantly, another way to squeeze in an extra serving of vegetables. [...]
Turlu Turlu
We both really like middle eastern food, and one of our favorite cookbooks is from the restaurant Moro in London, which melds together Middle Eastern, Spanish and Moroccan food wonderfully. As we’ve been trying to eat more vegetables lately, I searched through it for some good, moreish veggie recipes, and found one for Turlu Turlu, [...]
Roasted Sweet Potato Salad With Black Beans and Chili Dressing
On Friday night, Carlo and I had a quiet night at home with a nice bottle of wine and we spent the evening cooking together. Our original menu included some bbq ribs, but upon defrosting the frozen ribs, they smelt a bit suspect so we quickly defrosted a pork tenderloin to grill instead. The Zatar-crusted [...]
Spiced Butternut Squash, Lentil, and Goat Cheese Salad
Today is the first day of fall, so it is only appropriate to post the perfect fall salad today: Spiced Butternut Squash, Lentil, and Goat Cheese Salad. The sweetness of the squash combined with the nuttiness of the French Puy lentils and the creamy tang of the goat cheese equals a hearty welcome to the [...]
Baja Fish Tacos with Mexican Slaw
On Fridays, chef Tyler Florence hosts Twitterlicious, a cooking lesson conducted over Twitter (@TylerFlorence). Each week, he posts a poll on his website with 5 different recipe choices for the upcoming Twitterlicious. Whatever dish gets the most votes, he “cooks” while tweeting instructions on his progress in the kitchen. A few weeks ago, he made [...]
Heirloom Tomato and Pesto Tart with Parmesan Crust
When we were in LA over the weekend to celebrate our anniversary, we went to the Santa Monica Farmers’ Market on Saturday morning. While the Ferry Plaza Farmers’ Market in San Francisco is still my favourite market, the Santa Monica Farmers’ Market had some incredible looking produce, and a huge variety as well. Considering it [...]
One Giant Squash, Two Dinners: Zucchini Pesto Pancake
A couple of weekends ago, Carlo and I went up to North Las Vegas to check out Gilcrease Orchard, where you can pick your own produce. We didn’t really know what to expect but they had loads of zucchini, squash, cucumbers, eggplant, and apples. They had hundreds of tomato plants too, but unfortunately, we had [...]
