a homage to adventure & plant-forward eating
When I was in Brighton, England, in early 2024, my friend and I stopped in at this adorable cafe/restaurant to get lunch and take refuge from the British rain relentlessly falling outside. On the menu they had a spiced cauliflower dish served with fluffy hummus, …
Brothy beans are far from a new phenomenon. For the past few years, I’ve seen so much hype for brothy beans from fellow recipe developers and cooks, so I was convinced to see what all the fuss was about. Can I just say, WOW! For …
Tiramisu is a top-three dessert for me, and you know what is even better than classic tiramisu? Dirty Chai Tiramisu. Perhaps tiramisu is a dessert you usually reserve for ordering at an Italian restaurant and may feel a bit intimidating to make from scratch, but I promise you it is incredibly simple to make at home and doesn’t even require turning on your oven.

Butter chicken, a classic and beloved Indian dish, was my gateway dish into loving Indian food. Butter Chickpeas is my vegetarian twist on the classic dish. I use chickpeas in place of chicken as the protein and cashew cream to keep things a tad bit …

‘Twas the fall of 2024, and I had created a recipe failure of mass proportions. The silver lining to this culinary atrocity was that it inspired the pivot that led to this Honeynut Squash Rigatoni, which, I am happy to report, is far from a culinary atrocity. The first rendition of this recipe was a butternut squash lasagna with sautéed oyster mushrooms and lots of cheese. In theory, the idea was great; in execution, it was a major flop.
