English Garden Salad with Watercress Dressing

I remember I used to half believe and wholly play with fairies when I was a child. What heaven can be more real than to retain the spirit-world of childhood, tempered and balanced by knowledge and common-sense. -Beatrix Potter I first made this salad for our Beatrix Potter episode of...

Buttered Leeks

Leek, leek, it rhymes with Reek. This is an innocent side of green veggie that is secretly, luxuriously bathed in butter. Leeks are delicate, with such a softness to their sharpness that even my daughter who hates onion with the fire of seven hells was happy to gobble up. Buttered...

Scalloped Turnips

The night is dark, and full of turnips. Turnips are a staple of medieval cookery, and can often be used just as new world potatoes, whether sliced, mashed, or cooked into a soup. I recreated a scalloped potato dish I often cook for Thanksgiving using turnips instead, and their slightly...

Asparagus with Lemon, Aleppo Pepper and Burrata

Asparagus for dinner again. I hate asparagus. Does this mean I’ll never grow up? This is such a dead simple non-recipe, but it’s currently one of my favorite way to prepare vegetables, as elegant as Laura Palmer’s slinky black red room dress. The asparagus is broiled so it takes minutes...

Spicy Grilled Corn

One of my favorite things about our trips to Pakistan is that en route to anywhere, there are venders along the road where we would always stop to explore; to buy fruit, to shop for pottery, to drink tea, to eat corn! The corn sellers will let you choose your...

Grilled Veggie Salad with Tomato Vinaigrette

No barbecue (at our house at least) is complete without a leafy green salad. This one makes use of the grill with grilled onions and peppers, and some goodies on top for interesting flavor and texture. Next time I’m thinking to grill the tomatoes for the vinagrette too! I started...

Hara Masala Coconut Rice

This rice dish is the perfect side for all your summer barbecues – it pairs perfectly with all kinds of grilled veggies, fish and meat, and particularly well with Caribbean, Southeast Asian, or desi menus. I would describe it as intensely pleasant. The flavors aren’t huge and bold, and it’s...

Olive Oil Braised Veggies

I am a prolific veggie roaster. After sweeping in from work, before I’ve even taken off my heels I’ve got the oven heated and chopped veggies with little more than olive oil, sea salt and fresh cracked pepper on their way in. It’s hard to beat from a time standpoint,...

Roasted Grape and Sweet Potato Salad

After the Renaissance Festival (shamelessly love it, go every year), my friend Gloria invited us back to her house for pumpking carving, also our yearly tradition, and fed us a delicious dinner including a salad with roasted grapes. I was fascinated by these grapes, as I often am with food...

Maple Aleppo Corn on the Cob

We grill corn a lot in the summer, usually Pakistani style (plain, charred, then rubbed with lime and red chili), but I was looking for another way to fix the last corn of the season. I had seen a bunch of recipes for maple chipotle corn on the cob –...

Pomegranate Brussel Sprouts

First, a word on the humble brussel sprout. People used to give them such a hard time. As a child, even though I had never even eaten one, I osmosed the attitude that they were gross and to be avoided. But even the first time I had them (defrosted and...

Summer Squash Salad with Roasted Tomatillo Vinaigrette

After Ramadan (during which time I did not fast, but did eat pakoras for almost 30 days straight) and my sister’s wedding week (during which time I drank lots of wine and ate delicacies such as burgers and cheese fries – it was a classy wedding, I swear), my body...
