I love this dressing because it has enough body to be a great dipping sauce for artichokes and is light enough to enhance every salad. It is also a terrific marinade for chicken or tofu. Prep time: 10 Minutes

Baked Brie with Watermelon Pickles
As I was enjoying the taste of my Watermelon Pickles, an idea popped into my head. Wouldn’t the flavor of these pickles be a great counterpoint to the richness of melted Brie? Off to the store I went to buy a small round Brie. I diced up some pickles and […]
Apple and Pomegranate Crêpes
Start with sliced apples, mix them with tangy pomegranate seeds, sauté everything with a fresh Vanilla bean and douse that with Apple Liqueur! You could eat this with a spoon or over ice cream – or better yet- use it as a filling for All-Purpose Crêpes. There is no way […]

Green Dill Sauce

Cut off all those gnarly bumps and root hairs from the outside of a celery root; and you’re left with a vegetable that imparts a delicate and refined flavor to whatever you add it to. In this recipe, I mix shredded celery root with pears and toss them in a […]
