Not being able to eat at Via Carota and I Sodi are two of the things I miss most about not living in NYC anymore. Luckily, I have the Via Carota Cookbook to hold me over until my next visit. I’ve loved recreating dishes like this phenomenal Cavolo e Farro (Green Cabbage and Toasted Farro with Speck)!
This chopped salad combines seared halloumi cheese with roasted sweet potatoes and chickpeas, seasoned with onion salt and smoked paprika. Fresh Brussels sprouts, apples, and red onion add crunch, while a hot honey Dijon vinaigrette delivers a sweet-spicy finish to this tasty bowl.
Rediscovered in Smitten Kitchen’s first cookbook, this elegant kale salad combines ribbons of lacinato kale with toasted pecans, creamy goat cheese, crisp radishes, and dried cranberries. A honey-Dijon vinaigrette ties together this contemporary take on classic ’90s bistro salads.
I’ve learned countless tips, tricks, and techniques from Cook’s Illustrated over the years, but for some reason, I rarely end up cooking any of the dishes. After seeing their method for crispy chickpeas for Chopped Salad with Spiced Skillet-Roasted Chickpeas, I knew I had to break that streak!
Edy Massih’s Charred Corn, Tomato & Halloumi Salad is the perfect late-summer dish combining flame-charred corn and scallions with tomato wedges and seared halloumi, dressed in a mint-lemon vinaigrette. It’s an easy, flavorful way to savor seasonal produce before autumn arrives.
Tomato season is FINALLY here! When I’m not enjoying my daily tomato sandwich (get ready for next week!), I like to mix things up with another late summer favorite: panzanella. This year, a new contender for my favorite has entered the ring: Country Panzanella with Watermelon Dressing!
I was thrilled to see Central Provisions team up with another local favorite Skordo for a new line of spices to recreate some of their iconic dishes at home! The first I attempted was one that I’ve had and loved at the restaurant: Ras el Hanout Cauliflower!
