Have you ever roasted garlic in the oven? As it cooks, your kitchen fills with an amazing savory scent. It’s the kind of mouthwatering aroma that’s guaranteed to make you hungry, even if you’ve just finished lunch. If you ask me, this smell alone is enough reason to learn how to roast garlic at home. But of course, the main reason to make roasted garlic is the taste. Unlike raw garlic, roasted garlic doesn’t have any sort of bite....
So this isn’t really a new recipe, but I just couldn’t resist snapping a photo of this sandwich the day after we grilled these veggies with romesco sauce. They were just as good (maybe better) the next day. Jack has to work this afternoon, so I’m thinking of attempting to make that lemon-thyme cake that was on my mind the other day. I’m not much of a baker, so we’ll see how it goes… (no promises of it being photo-worthy)....
Inspired by my favorite Greek salad recipe, this easy pasta salad has fresh tomatoes, red onion, olives, and feta cheese. It’s simple to shop for and quick to make. Serve it as a side dish, or turn it into dinner and top it with grilled chicken or your favorite protein. For more incredible pasta salad recipes, see our easy pasta salad, orzo salad, or this Italian pasta salad with salami....
“I walked outside and felt like I was swimming,” is what Jack said the other day as I picked him up from the airport, fresh off a flight from LA. It’s humid here, to say the least, and the air is thick. It’s the kind of heat that sort of takes your breath away as soon as you walk out the door. But I’m not complaining, it always takes just a few weeks for the body to acclimate to our summer temps....
As a food blogger, I use my stove nearly every day without thinking much about it. It’s easy to take things like multiple burners and good ventilation for granted. (Well, except when Jack cooks – we have to frantically open every window to keep the fire department from showing up). In other areas of the world, women are cooking over a small fires in enclosed spaces that lack light and ventilation....
I hope you’re all excited, because this sweet potato salad recipe is the first of many fall salads that I have coming your way this season! I love salad all year long (Like, who can say no to a tomato salad in the summer?), but fall salads have a special place in my heart. We move away from juicy summer bounty towards sweeter, starchier veggies like sweet potatoes and squash....
If you’ve been reading me long enough you’d know that I don’t often produce elaborately pretty things on the blog. My baked goodies simply aim to be easy, tasty, and are often plain and simple. The main reason for this is that I lack the patience to do much beyond the very basics that produce satisfactory results. So the process of cutting these cookies in two sizes and interchanging the centres was something that needed me to go beyond my usual acceptable amount of effort but the results, they are oh so pretty....
Around 5-6 pieces of frozen tandoori kabab stood staring at me next day morning and I briefly looked at the vegetable tray only to find some good old (literally!) potatoes in there. Idea struck and here is what I came up with. Tandoori Chicken with Potatoes {Recipe} Ingredients: Tandoori Chicken – 5-6 pieces Potatoes – 2 medium Onion – 1 Chilly powder – 1 tsp Chicken masala – 2 tsp Salt – to taste Fresh coriander leaves – for garnishing How to Make Tandoori Chicken with Potatoes:...
My KitchenAid stand mixer has a permanent spot on my countertop. It’s an invaluable tool for making baked goods like cookies, bagels, and pizza dough, but that’s not all.

When Fall hits, we rush to our local coffee shop and order a pumpkin spice latte. We love them so much that we decided to try making them at home, and I am so happy that we did! This pumpkin spice latte recipe is easy, and I bet you have most, if not everything, of what you need to make at home right now. It also comes together in under 10 minutes!...
This is the perfect pantry soup. I’m even betting that most of you have these ingredients on hand already. We’re all about fresh eating around here, but there’s nothing wrong with opening up a few cans from time to time… especially in the middle of winter when you crave tomato soup and tomatoes are not in season. The soup is basically: 1 can of tomatoes, 1 can of chickpeas, and (part of) 1 can of coconut milk....
Ever since watching those chef-y TV shows about Rene Redzepi, I’ve wanted to go to Copenhagen. Sadly, we didn’t get into Noma (we were #1400 on the waiting list when Jack entered us 5 months ago, ha!), but we had a blast eating our way through Copenhagen nonetheless. We had only 2 short days to take it all in, but I think we did pretty well. Thanks to all of you who gave us so many amazing recommendations on Instagram!...
Ahh, Valentines Day… such a loved and hated holiday, right? It’s one of my personal favorites because it’s the one night a year Jack cooks and I don’t lift a finger. (Or, at least, I try – admittedly, it’s hard to sit back and keep my “suggestions” to myself). I have no clue what he’ll be making this year and I’m sure he doesn’t yet either… but I thought I’d put a little list together in case you needed some early inspiration to forward on to your better half....
This zucchini salad recipe is a feast for the eyes as well as the taste buds! I love the way the raw zucchini ribbons curl around the crunchy pine nuts and fresh herbs. Parmesan cheese gives it a salty bite, and a lemon vinaigrette fills it with bright flavor. Oh, and did I mention? It calls for under 10 ingredients and comes together in minutes. Fittingly, the recipe comes from my friend Amanda’s new book Simple Beautiful Food....
We moved to Walla Walla in October 2016 from Seattle and from the East Coast before that all in search of a place to call home. If you’ve been following us, you’ve noticed the kitchen keeps changing. Well, we’ve been renting in Walla Walla for a year and have only come to love the town more and more. So much so that we want you to come and visit. You will love it....
This is a simple, easy recipe that was done in about 20 minutes, perfect for a weeknight quick-fix dinner. It is also unarguably one of the most popular dishes in North Indian restaurants everywhere, especially outside India. A meal out is not considered complete without a nice and mildly spiced Aloo Gobi to go with the rotis (flat Indian bread) Aloo Gobi Recipe – Potato Cauliflower Curry Serves 2...
Gazpacho, a chilled soup (sometimes called a salad in Spanish cookbooks) originating from Andalusia, Spain, is traditionally made with tomatoes, garlic, onion, and cucumber and often thickened with bread. While authentic gazpacho recipes often use raw ingredients, our favorite recipe takes a slightly different approach. We worked on this with Chef Richard and found that lightly roasting the tomatoes with onions and garlic enhances the tomato flavor and mellows the harshness of the raw garlic and onion, making one of the best bowls of gazpacho I’ve made....
I’ve made a LOT of peanut butter cookies over the years. These peanut butter cookies are the best ones yet. They have soft and chewy middles, lightly crisp edges, and a delicious peanut butter flavor. I love that the recipe is easy to make with 9 ingredients, all of which I keep on hand in my pantry. And because I have zero patience when it comes to cookies, I also love that you don’t have chill the dough....
I have a super simple recipe for you today: a 5-ingredient, 20-minute blueberry compote. It’s one of my favorite recipes to make when I have a surplus of fresh berries (or a big bag of frozen berries) on hand. It tastes so good that you could eat it with a spoon, but it’s really meant to be used as a topping. Drizzle it over pancakes, oatmeal, or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delicious pop of bright berry flavor....
What’s not to love about breakfast potatoes? They’re crispy on the outside, creamy in the middle, and seasoned to perfection with smoky, savory spices. They’re SO simple to make, and they taste great with just about any breakfast food. Pancakes? Scrambled eggs? Yes, please! You’ll find my easy breakfast potatoes recipe below. It’s one of my favorite breakfast dishes, perfect for special occasion brunches and everyday breakfasts alike. I offer two variations in the recipe....
