Extravagant Eggs For When You Have No Time
I spend many days harvesting the wild greens which grow in abundance at the edges of my gardens. Both chickweed and hairy bittercress are common early spring characters: the bittercress is similar in punch to arugula, whereas chickweed is akin to pea shoots, with a tender texture.
Miso Butter Salmon + Custardy Scrambled Eggs
Divine Shrimp Salad
Too often, shrimp salad is gloppy with mayonnaise, masking the verve shrimp deserve appreciation for. Their flavor is mild, we can all agree. But with some gentle handling and choice aromatics, shrimp impart a wonderful texture, tender enough to make you swoon. The secret is to let the shrimp steep only long enough for their outsides to become opaque, then transfer them to a shallow bowl to cool—easy-peasy and impossible to overcook.
Gorgeous Gigante Beans+Toast
Thoroughly a legume lover, cooking magical, fairytale-worthy gigante beans was a greatly anticipated occasion. One of the simplest ways to serve these, and one of my favorites, is spooning the beans and their liquor onto thick sourdough toast, adorning with roasted red pepper ribbons, and sprinkling with flaky salt. These beans are so creamy, so meaty, so good. And entirely vegan.
Tonnato Toast with Colorful Radishes
A quick dish made with wonderfully punchy tonnato inches the spirit of al fresco dining just a little bit closer. Add a rich slather to toast. Pile the radishes as abundantly as you like. Juicy, salty, crunchy celebration, for spring is just around the corner.
Cheese Toasts With Mushrooms, Miso & Honey
When I crave sustenance that is speedy and delicious, these toasts come to the rescue. The washed-rind, creamy cheese is a lush foil to meaty mushrooms. I dreamed up the sweet-savory dressing thinking of a couple things: cheese and honey as a pairing, and how miso echoes the mushrooms’ umami. Who doesn’t love a good toast? It’s the perfect vehicle for all of it.
