Chickpea Noodle Soup
This is an intensely flavorful vegan alternative to chicken soup. The combination of miso, nutritional yeast and ginger makes a fragrant broth and the chickpeas add texture as both a crunchy garnish and creamy soup component. If you watching your sodium intake, be careful of the type of noodles you buy. The original recipe called…

4-Ingredient Apple Cake
Only 4 ingredients are needed to make this cake! Eggs, whole wheat flour, apples and brown sugar. The moistness of the apples allows you to skip added fat or oil and whipping the eggs and brown sugar incorporates air into the batter so you don’t need a leavening agent like baking powder. You can add…
Harissa Scrambled Tofu with a Refreshing Cucumber Salad
I was thrilled to discover Yotam Ottolenghi’s cookbook, Ottolenghi Simple. The recipes in this book are designed to keep the ingredient lists short and cooking techniques simple. This recipe is a vegetarian twist on scrambled eggs. As he mentions in the recipe, double or triple the harissa onions because they keep in the fridge for…

Pan Con Tomate (Bread with Tomato)
Pan Con Tomate, or bread with tomato, originated in northern Spain as a quick snack or tapas. It is incredibly delicious and I’ve officially voted this my favorite summer dish! I can’t think of a better way to showcase my husband’s brilliant summer gems. Pan con Tomate requires only four ingredients but each one should…
Refrigerator Bran Muffins (bake them fresh each morning)!
Warm muffins, right out of your oven, on a weekday morning? Yes, please! Make the batter over the weekend, put it in your fridge, then bake the muffins later in the week (or even 2 weeks later). Sometimes I only want to bake 6 muffins, not 12, and this recipe gives you the flexibility to…

It was 1985. I was working as a clinical dietitian, recently married, and just learning how to cook. Friends recommended, Good Food Book by Jane Brody, a NY Times Food Columnist, to help me with my cooking skills as well as to understand the art of healthier cooking. I read it cover to cover. I…
