I have never been into baking. And I’m actually not all that much of a sweets person beyond fruit or the occasional treating myself over the counter at a real boulangerie. However, something’s up with this summer season and citrus. I can’t get enough, in all sorts of applications. I got a persistent [...]

as part of Julie’s Summer Salad Series…
This simple, refreshing, colorful, super-nutritious fruit salad is packed with antioxidants and vitamin C. A squeeze of lime juice and a fine chiffonade of mint gives it a delicious kick of brightness. Pomegranate seeds, in lieu of raspberries, also work very well when they’re in season.
Makes 6-8 [...]

as part of Julie’s Summer Salad Series…
The hot weather calls for refreshing dishes, and this salad includes a sensational way to incorporate citrus in your salad. In fact, it’s my new thing…paper thin slices of citrus like lime, lemons, and oranges lend a unique “pop” in flavor. And the entire slice is edible, [...]

I love curry so it’s no wonder Singapore noodles are my favorite traditional Chinese noodle dish. I replaced the usual thin vermicelli with goldbar squash that I hand-cut into thin strips, which in my opinion, holds up much better than spiralized zucchini. It’s more work but the results [...]

The popular lettuce “wrap” versions of these, as seen at big chains like California Pizza Kitchen or P.F. Chang’s are usually made with chicken or pork stir-fried with water chestnuts and spices, then served with iceberg lettuce. P.F. Chang’s has a yummy vegetarian tofu version that inspired me to recreate them raw.
Filling:
One small jicama [...]

This is a delicious, simple salad that’s perfect to try if you’re just getting acclimated to sea vegetables. Wakame is soft and tender with a mild, sweet flavor. When I first served this to my family, it was gone in minutes after they once looked down at it cock-eyed because in no way [...]

Warning: This bold and spicy seaweed salad is not for the faint hearted!
I love spicy foods, which is clearly reflected in many of my recipes. Of course, you can modify the spiciness by reducing or omitting the jalepenos and chili oil and it’ll still be delicious. Arame is a quick and easy sea [...]

My husband is Greek and takes his cheese very seriously. Manouri cheese is a very traditional semi-soft Greek cheese of which he found a raw version one day while visiting the Greek community in Tarpon Springs, FL. If you are a raw vegan, this salad is just as delicious without the cheese. Recipe [...]
