Recipe: Syrian Tabbouleh
Syrian Tabbouleh comes from a guest post on the David Lebowitz (yes, he of kouign amann fame) blog by cookbook author Anissa Helou. What makes it Syrian? First, it uses far less bulgur than western recipes (including this one). Also, … Continue reading
Recipe: Ottolenghi Carrot Salad
Ottolenghi Carrot Salad is derived from a recipe in Jerusalem: a Cookbook and it has a lovely balance of acid/heat/sweet. Ottolenghi says to toss it with chopped arugula but we like it better on its own. Serves 8 as part … Continue reading
Recipe: Lentil Salad, Two Ways
Both these lentil salad recipes come from Cook’s Illustrated though we’ve made some changes. Because they have the same base preparation, it’s a good idea to make them at the same time though you wouldn’t necessarily serve them together. … Continue reading
Recipe: Spicy Eggplant with Miso
We had fond memories of the spicy eggplant with miso recipe from Japanese Country Cookbook, an artful paperback issued by the long-closed Mingei-Ya in San Francisco. But when we picked up a used copy we were surprised to discover most … Continue reading

Recipe: Montreal Vinegar Slaw
Montreal vinegar slaw is just what you need to cut the fat when you are eating Montreal smoked meats (a version of pastrami, though I don’t think you are supposed to call it that) and poutine as served at a … Continue reading
Recipe: Chinese Coleslaw
Chinese Coleslaw is adapted from the Omnivore’s Cookbook. It’s a good side dish with Chinese and Thai mains which contain similar ingredients like Chinkiang vinegar, cilantro and sesame oil. It contains very little salt so it doesn’t cure over time … Continue reading
Recipe: Happy Bellyfish Kimchi
We made this kimchi through a class with Happy Bellyfish, an online cooking school based in Germany that specializes in fermentations. (More about them later when we review Zoom cooking classes as a trend/necessity.) It’s a good solid basic rendition … Continue reading
