These homemade egg rolls are from my friend’s grandmother, who shared her family recipe decades ago. A savory filling of pork, cabbage, celery, and soy sauce gets wrapped and fried until crisp and golden. They’re simple, deeply nostalgic, and freeze beautifully for whenever the craving strikes.
This simple fish taco recipe is perfect for busy weeknights. Flaky cod is seasoned with spices and served in warm tortillas with a crunchy lime slaw and creamy sriracha sauce. Topped with cilantro, jalapeños, and red onion, it’s a satisfying, flavorful meal ready in under 30 minutes.
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)!
One of my favorite ways to enjoy cabbage is with a nice char, like Andy Baraghani’s Tahini-Smothered Charred Cabbage. The wedged cabbage is rubbed with olive oil and sprinkled with salt, then charred on both sides before being drizzled with creamy tahini-lemon sauce with hints of garlic, honey, and cumin. A sprinkling of dill and sesame seeds is all you need before digging in!
