I love the versatile lentil: the variety, flavor and convenience that these quick cooking pulses offer are all things I approve of. This Turkish soup is my favorite way to prepare red lentils. Velvety smooth like a bisque, I make it with even more vegetables than typically called for. We ate this soup frequentlyContinue reading “kırmızı mercimek çorbası (red lentil soup)”

irina’s borscht
Over the long Thanksgiving weekend, I had the pleasure of spending time with a friend who hails from Russia. When I asked him about delicious vegetarian recipes from his homeland, he mentioned his mother’s borscht. He spoke of its richness and the deep color and said that there are two steps that make hers special.Continue reading “irina’s borscht”
game changing grilled kale
I cannot stress enough how much I love this stuff. Dress it up or eat it straight off the stems with your hands, oil dripping down your chin. I don’t really want to eat kale any other way these days.

Today, I had a lovely, relaxing day. I accidentally stumbled into the Goleta farmer’s market this morning, on our last day here on this visit. In addition to some stellar stone fruits and strawberries, I picked up a couple pounds of fingerling potatoes, dreaming of a bright, flavorful Turkish style potato salad featuring oliveContinue reading “fingerling potato salad, turkish style”
savory basil, tomato & zucchini muffins (gf)

Just trying to figure out a way to keep this sustainable and interesting (to me and you) for the long haul. SometimesContinue reading “savory basil, tomato & zucchini muffins (gf)”
lemon rice with beet curry
This is a tasty combination we enjoyed recently, when I had a fridge drawer full of beets and a hankering for an aromatic, flavored rice dish. Remembering that lemons and beets pair nicely, I decided it would be worth a try. It was, combining complex flavors in a simple recipe. You’ve gotta love those IndianContinue reading “lemon rice with beet curry”
