Roast lamb is, without a doubt, one of our very favorite dishes. In the spring we serve it with young vegetables: carrots, English peas, parsnips and fennel, but we’ve recently started serving it with Greek-inspired ingredients: olives, lemon, garlic and oregano. And it is heavenly. There is nothing quite light the vibrant perfume and flavor [...]

Allioli. Allioli. Allioli. I love how the vowels and lulling Ls roll off the tongue – softly and whimsically – almost like a child’s nonsense word. all-ee-oh-lee. It’s a melodic sound. Allioli is a Catalan version of classic aioli, and it differs fundamentally from Provençal aiolis in that it is made without egg yolk – offering just a combination of good quality olive oil, fragrant garlic and unrefined sea salt.

The other day we were shopping at the major grocery store in the next town over. Our spring CSA boxes hadn’t started arriving and our stocked pantry had dwindled down to a few jars of apricots, nectarines and tomatoes so we were picking up some essentials. We rarely frequent big chains, preferring [...]

From time to time, we get a craving for pasta, and noodles. It’s simple to make, easy and like the best of foods – comforting. Of course, being traditional food fanatics, we keep a watchful eye on grain consumption and, particularly, refined grain consumption. Whole wheat pasta doesn’t do since the wheat [...]

Roast chicken is a staple in our home, but herb-roasted chicken – as delicious as it is – can become dull from week to week. The recipe for this chicken is my interpretation of the classic roast chicken frequently served in Morocco with lacto-fermented lemons and olives. I spent quite a while in [...]
