Stir-fried curry green beans with black eyed peas

Stir-fried curry green beans with black eyed peas by John Spottiswood

I love it when I stumble on a recipe that puts together ingredients I love, but wouldn't have thought of combining, and then far exceeds my expectations. This recipe, which I adapted from a new book we bought called Tangy, Tart, Hot & Sweet by Padma Lakshimi, really shines. She encourages the use of chinese long beans instead of…

Chinese Long Beans by Cecelia Heer

This is a popular Szechuan dish. Much better than the traditional green beans, in my opinion. Serves 4.

Beet Leaves Fry by FeastForAll

I have not seen a lot of recipes for Beets (Beet root) leaves. My mother used to cook this dish and I love this. Beet leaves are quite tasty and have a nice aroma after cooked.

Vegan spicy sautéed mushrooms in 10 minutes.

Vegan spicy sautéed mushrooms in 10 minutes. by Helenscooking

It is mushroom season, and I wrote a lot about (button) crimini mushrooms lately. Button mushrooms have an excellent amount of selenium, zinc and manganese; all three are great antioxidant minerals. Also daily intake of crimini mushrooms for 1-2 months can reduce levels of total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, and TGs. And if you are…

GINGER AND GARLIC FRIED RICE

GINGER AND GARLIC FRIED RICE by Cecelia Heer

I’ve adapted this recipe from JGV’s Ginger Fried Rice from his book, Asian Flavors of Jean-Georges. It has become one of my favorite ways to serve a take on fried rice, and I’ve enjoyed making it with several varieties of rice—jasmine, red jasmine, bamboo, long grain, short grain, etc. Every time, it always turns out to be a very…

In recent years Paneer Jalfrezi or Mixed Vegetable Jalfrezi has gained quite a rank in popularity charts of vegetarian dishes in India but like me most of the Paneer Jalfrezi lovers does not know what does the word "Jalfrezi means", earlier I use to think Jalfrezi is some kind of special spice used to season this curry. The word…

Pad Thai (Flat Noodles with Vegetables) by Hina Gujral

These Pad Thai Noodles is a fusion of Chinese and Thai flavors creating dynamic flavors and brilliant color. This recipe is simple, quick and totally exotic, which is a refreshing change from regular stir-fried noodles, which I am quite bored now. Don't be scared by the number of red chilies used, as the heat of the chilies is been…

Bye Bye Blues, A Quick And Spicy Bean Dish

Bye Bye Blues, A Quick And Spicy Bean Dish by kathy gori

I have a small confession to make. I love trick vegetables. You know what I'm talking about, the orange cauliflower, the red squash, the black garlic. So you can imagine my surprise and delight when the gang at Lunita Farm showed me a basket of dark purple green beans at the Saturday Farmers Market. I'd never seen anything like…

Creamy Cauliflower And Lakers Magic!

Creamy Cauliflower And Lakers Magic! by kathy gori

One thing I love about fixing a tandoori chicken lunch is the simplicity. Once the chicken has been marinated, nothing goes better with this dish than a bread some pickled cucumbers and one veg. The most likely vegetable to find on my tandoori table is cauliflower. Especially when I can get a beautiful organic one for 99 cents!…

Squash In A Spice Paste Done Pronto! by kathy gori

This has been one hell of a week, one of those 7 day stretches that includes everything on lifes' smorgey...except dental. Of course the week's not over yet. It's been a week of some nerves, some loss, some traveling, some stress and the general sense of just being unable to catch up. That said, I can't wait for Monday to start the…
