I included a good number of kookoos, or Persian omelets, on this blog and in my first cookbook. For the most part, they are very traditional kookoos. For my next cookbook, I decided to create a mash-up of one of our go-to dinners – roasted vegetables and eggs – as a kookoo. Oh wow! It…

Kuku Gol Kalam- Roasted Cauliflower Frittata
Most Persian omelets, or kukus, are cooked stovetop, flipping them over to cook on both sides. I recently saw a recipe where it was baked in the oven. Although I like the look of the kukus cooked on both sides, I find it an annoying thing to do. So I was quite happy to try…
Breaded Cauliflower with Sriracha Dipping Sauce
We had just a little bit more of the local cauliflower left, just enough for a taste treat. So I decided to try another version of roasted cauliflower, this time breaded. And as a treat, a spicy dipping sauce to go with it. It was a fun change from my typical roasted cauliflower; and fun…
Roasted Vegetable Tart and Quiche
Two versions tonight – why? I roasted a lot of vegetables and my pastry crust was not big enough, so I also pulled out a pre-made pie crust and made a quiche. Each was worth making individually, so I have included both. Some in the family preferred the quiche… Others the tart… Roasted Vegetable Filling…
Open-Faced Roasted Vegetable Egg Sandwich – or what to do with leftover roasted vegetables?
Roasted vegetables, one of the greatest gifts of fall and winter. My family loves roasted vegetables, especially cauliflower, broccoli, Brussels sprouts and winter squash. But we have also added leeks to our list of veggies to roast, they are particularly sweet when roasted. Typically we eat every last piece, but on rare occasions we do…
Cauliflower, Tomato & Feta Frittata
Frittatas are a favorite food in our house. Second only to vegetable hashes topped with eggs.I mean, really, what’s not to love? Eggs, vegetables and, typically, cheese. So good, we tend to dive in before I can take a decent picture… I had bought a locally grown cauliflower. These are so big that the quart…
Pasta with Cauliflower & Sun-dried Tomatoes
Look at this cauliflower, it is beautiful! And it is huge, the size of two typical cauliflowers. This picture was taken after I had already broken off a bunch of florets to munch on. And, of course, it was locally grown and purchased at one of my favorite road-side stands. How to do such a…
Cauliflower Pasta al Forno
Thanks to the return of the groundhog, my broccoli and cauliflower plants have been decimated. So, I am back to buying them from local farmers. It is so sad to see my plants with their top sections bitten off. The groundhog, however, does not seem to like swiss chard or curly kale. So those are…
Roasted Cauliflower Melt
I had 8 cauliflower plants growing in my garden. The operative word being “had”. I went out one morning to find the tops eaten off of every one of them. All that was left were the base leaves. Incorrectly, I blamed the bunnies and tried to figure out how they were getting into the garden,…
Spice-Roasted Jerusalem Artichokes and Cauliflower
If you have been wondering what the picture in the header of the blog is, here is the post to answer the question… Jerusalem artichokes I dug out of the garden last week. When I went out to the garden to check the plants, expecting that the crop would be a failure due to really…
