What we’re Cooking Now

Our version of a Buddha Bowl showcases two main ingredients — charred broccoli and spicy baked tofu. For crunch we add shredded carrots and red cabbage, then we top it off with the creamiest vegan kimchi–miso dressing. Add rice or your favorite grain and dinner is done! 

Delectable, creamy winter soup created from a blend of mushrooms, herbs, and wild rice -- this is our choice for an easy and healthy vegetarian or even vegan supper that highlights the variety and richness of the fungi kingdom.  

It's Christmas, so it's time for toffee! English toffee, that is, made the proper, scientific way, and coated with either milk chocolate and almonds, or white chocolate and pistachios. Or both! A double-whammy of sweet holiday delight.

Rich, creamy, and unapologetically boozy, this is an egg nog whose virtues are sung by poets. Probably. Once they've had a few. 

As the weather turns chilly, we want a cocktail that will warm our cockles, and this Spiced Rosemary Old Fashioned is the perfect drink to take us straight through the holiday season. Heritage Distilling has us covered.

A simple, healthy Thai shrimp salad with an authentic sour-savory-spicy-sweet combination of fresh lime juice, fish sauce and chili paste, showered with fresh herbs and crunchy roasted peanuts.

Easy Creamed Corn with Basil is a summer staple in our house. These sweet kernels are just barely simmered in a sauce made from silky mascarpone cheese, a little half and half and not much else. Add a sprinkle of fragrant basil and you've got a simple, supremely summery side!

Inspired by the sweet nectar of summer flowers, we created a cocktail in partnership with Heritage Distilling's Brown Sugar Bourbon, which has notes of cinnamon and nutmeg, to which we added fresh thyme, lemon and elderflower liqueur. It's tart, herbal, and beautifully smooth and luscious and very drinkable. After all, don't we all deserve a little sweetness in our lives?

Caramelized balsamic-glazed red onions topped with a layer of crispy, golden brown brussels sprout leaves. Mozzarella and goat cheese add richness and tang.

Sweet, fruity, cheesy blintzes are a great Mother's Day treat for the Mom in your life. But let's face it, they're equally awesome as a weekend splurge you can make for yourself!

Tender stir fried farro, garlicky sautéed kale, and a perfectly poached egg. If that’s not a good breakfast, we don’t know what is. This simple, healthy grain bowl is packed with everything you need to start your day off right.  Breakfast isn’t typically an ideal meal for slow food. Our modern lives pack our days ... Read more

One of my favorite words of all time is the French word for grapefruit: Pamplemousse. Say it! Pamplemousse. It’s hilarious, right? It sounds like it should be Liberace’s favorite color. “Why yes, we had the whole living room done in pamplemousse and mauve. It’s divine.” I also love that it’s a pretty effective insult in French, meaning ... Read more

Everyone has a favorite potato salad recipe and here's ours: flavored with Dijon mustard and plenty of chives, parsley and dill. It's our go-to BBQ side.

Give chicken thighs a long marinade in Green Goddess dressing, and char them to perfection on the grill along with red onions. Then dollop more herby dressing on them for good measure and eat dinner under the stars.

Strawberry Lemon Curd: A balanced spread, not too sweet, not too tart, that lets all the fruit shine through. It's what fresh strawberries were meant for.

A classic American sandwich, with a twist: Kimchi Pimento Cheese Patty Melt. It's a thin burger topped with caramelized onions, served on griddled rye bread slathered with spicy Kimchi Pimento Cheese. A happy, if messy, marriage between a burger and a buttery grilled cheese sandwich, this is the ultimate five-napkin dinner. 

Pimento cheese doesn't have to be eaten in a sandwich - and neither does it need to contain pimento. Say what?! Before you flay us alive for our heresy, let us hurriedly explain that we replaced the pickled pepper with fermented home-made kimchi. And we, frankly, think it's even better. 

Stinging nettles aren't just for stumbling into with painful consequences. We'll show you how to use the leaves safely to make a delicious and super healthy risotto.

Matt here. Emily’s going to come in with the important tasting notes and all that later in the article, but I just wanted to share an anecdote from our very early cohabitation. When we first moved in together, I remember I was clearing room in the fridge – and at the time, Emily had a ... Read more

Our friends at Mullan Road Cellars wanted us to put together a recipe that would pair beautifully with their red wine blend. Fortunately, we had just the thing - our summery take on Eggplant Parmesan: grilled eggplant paired with sweet, roasted Campari tomatoes and creamy burrata cheese, topped with crispy garlic and herb breadcrumbs.
