Planting Asparagus Crowns - Investing In a Tasty FutureLast weekend, we planted two dozen + asparagus crowns in our slowly coalescing garden (fencing, fencing, fencing.) Although it will be a few years before we can begin to harvest the spears in earnest because you must first give the plants time to establish themselves, it was very exciting.Just think, in a few short years, we can walk… |

Pickled Daikon Radish ThreadsWhen I was pregnant with my younger son, I developed a powerful craving for pickled daikon.

Confetti ColeslawCabbage has won a firm place in my affections in recent years. It may be humble but it has hidden depths. Try roasting it and you'll see what I mean - it brings out an amazing, mellow sweetness and a depth of flavor that is as surprising as it is delicious. But I've also come to appreciate it raw, something I attribute almost entirely… |

Gingery Miso Peanut Sauce - Make a LOT!I like to make a big batch of this nutty, sweet, gingery sauce to use in lots of ways throughout the week - as the dressing for a rice bowl, as a sauce for baked tofu, as a dip for carrot and cucumber sticks, a marinade for grilled chicken, and more.It does require a little slicing and dicing and the use of a food processor but it's… |

Nutty Forbidden Rice, Roasted Beet & Kale SaladThis is a gem of a salad. I have to thank my friend Margaret Mary for bringing it to a Superbowl Party last month. Although it did not necessarily fit into the theme of deep fried appetizers, it blew me away with its wonderful flavors, nutty heartiness and beautiful colors. I quizzed her about the ingredients and then recreated it at… |
