While searching for some specific papers in my file box of my parents’ “stuff”, I came across my mom’s recipe box. A simple lucite holder of index cards. I had long ago taken out her own recipes, and my versions of those have been in my cookbooks (stuffed cabbage, sweet and sour meatballs, and noodle…

My Cookbook is Finally Here!
Just in time for the holidays! “When Kugel Met Tahdig: Foods of Our Persian-Jewish-American Marriage”, has finally been published!
Tomato and Cheese Frittata
Tomatoes, tomatoes, tomatoes. Nothing says summer like tomatoes. Then there are eggs, tomatoes and cheese – a familiar trinity. Make that home-grown heirloom tomatoes with fresh eggs from Farmer Kim and it becomes a holy trinity. Ok, enough goofy phrases, what did I make? It is called a frittata, but with the bread in this mixture, this frittata…
Quinoa and Rice Bowl with Kale, Kimchi and Egg
The kale is going absolutely nuts in my garden! It is big, beautiful, and plentiful! The Russian kale is particularly healthy. I had thought the groundhog had killed most of the plants, so I planted more. Guess what, they are all producing now! We discovered rice bowls last year, and I especially like Korean rice…
Spinach & Potato Frittata
I am finally harvesting some spinach from the garden!! Spring must actually be here (even if the sun hasn’t made an appearance yet). It has been a frustrating spring. First, the groundhog came back and ate all the greens I planted (except spinach, he doesn’t like spinach). Then I put up a solar powered electric…
Butternut Squash Quiche
I won’t mince words, this is probably the tastiest quiche I have ever made. We learned the other day that roasted vegetables worked will in a strata, so I figured that butternut squash and some other roasted vegetables would work just as well in a quiche. I decided to keep with an orange theme and…
Roasted Winter Vegetable Strata (Jerusalem Artichokes, Brussels Sprouts & Spinach)
My search for new uses for my Jerusalem artichokes led me to an unexpected place today. I had fully planned on making a roasted vegetable and pasta dinner, but then I spied a half loaf of a hearty whole wheat bread I had made sitting on the counter. As you can see, it was a…
Parsnip Frittata
Frittatas are a great way to use the bits and pieces of vegetables left over from making other dishes. I had parsnips sitting in my fridge, perfect to pair with Farmer Kim’s eggs in Mario Batali’s frittata recipe for la light, healthy dinner. These parsnips did not come from my garden. My parsnips did not…
Lentils With Cucumbers, Chard, And Poached Egg
I wasn’t feeling well today; I spent much of it asleep. My stomach had been unsettled for a few days, but today food was not appealing to me and I was dizzy. So my plans for our dinner needed to change. I decided eggs would be good for me, and for some reason I was…
Stir-Fry Soba Noodles with Green Beans, Tomatoes & Eggs
Summer is progressing in the garden, tomatoes are coming in strong and so are the purple long beans. My favorite “magic” beans, they turn from deep purple to green when they are cooked! I have been growing them for over 5 years now and they still never cease to amuse me. I grow mostly heirloom,…
