Vegetables Bourguignon (a riff on Boeuf Bourguignon), is a flavorful vegetarian entrée all year round and perfect for Passover as well. My video shows me serving the Vegetables Bourguignon over a slice of Roasted Cauliflower. I also love to serve it over a mound of mashed potatoes ! Whichever way […]
A whole Roasted Cauliflower is a thing of beauty! Can anyone resist digging into that crisp outside and discovering the soft mellow flavors within? Don’t be surprised if you only get 2-3 intact slices from a large cauliflower. You can arrange the pieces that separate into a slice or serve […]
This Spinach and Pear soup is silky smooth and light. It has a mild spinach flavor despite its rich green color. Cuisine Minceur by Chef Michel Guerard was my inspiration for this recipe. His cookbook is filled with low fat recipes that are not lacking in flavor and sophistication. The […]
