I need to make this more often. So easy and delicious: pasta with broccolini, garlic, feta cheese, lemon zest & juice, and fresh herbs. The sauce comes together with lemon juice, a dash of white wine, some pasta water. We do a lot with pasta in this household, often with no recipe: "So, what's in the fridge?"

Yes, it's me again, playing with food: my favorite Paul Bocuse Mac & Cheese using Perciatelli pasta... and of course another gardenscape to top it off because I just can't resist bringing garden design to the kitchen table.

A ricotta-asparagus tart (I mixed some goat cheese with the ricotta, but feta is good too) with puff pastry and a little rack of lamb, medium rare, thank you very much. It doesn't take a whole lot of effort to make a nice little dinner at home. Happy Friday. Cheers!🍷

Easy sheet pan asparagus: lay asparagus in a single row on parchment paper, cut the cherry tomatoes in half and drop them in the end zone. Bake at 400 for 10-12 minutes, remove and add some mozzarella cheese, then pop back into the oven til the cheese is golden. Serve with basil chiffonade and kalamata olives.

This is my favorite holiday tart. I've made it for Thanksgiving and Christmas: Cranberry Curd with a Gingersnap Cookie Crust from Washington Post. Not too sweet and the pretty "jewels" around the edges are just like pairing earrings with a beautiful gown - the final flourish! Silver fluted plate is Annie Glass, Santa Cruz, CA.

Mise en place. Condiments to be served with lemongrass-ginger and coconut-chicken curry. One of my favorite winter meals and fun to serve to guests. Included here is a fresh coriander-mint chutney and a lemongrass-ginger paste which can be added to individual bowls according to taste.

We had family visiting this Christmas - first time in SO LONG! So I did a LOT of cooking and it was a blast. Here's our Christmas Day charcuterie nibbles shaped like a wreath.

Crespelle in Brodo (Crêpes in Broth) is another holiday tradition around here. The broth is made from a slow-cooked organic chicken, then boned. Homemade crepes are filled and rolled with grated Parmigiano Reggiano (I also add some shredded chicken) and served in a bowl of piping hot broth.

It's become a Christmas family-favorite: a French-Canadian Tourtière. Using homemade pie crust, the filling is a combination of ground veal, lamb and bison with spices: cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg, and cardamom.

Part of Christmas Eve dinner: an upside-down tomato tart with carmelized onions, kalamata olives and goat cheese with a puff-pastry base - it did not disappoint.

What's cookin'?
Christmas isn't Christmas without deviled eggs, right?

Shudder! Seriously cold weather moving in now. Nothing tastes better than a beef roast in the slow cooker with mushrooms, roasted sweet potatoes, carrots, celery, onions, garlic and Yukon gold, cooking in a red wine-beef stock and passata sauce. Egg noodles on the side, of course, to soak up all that delicious gravy.

Continuing my obsession with Konjac Knots aka Shirataki Nests aka Yam Noodles (which are gluten free): I tried them this time with chili and black bean paste, alongside some Chinese broccoli with sesame oil, and heavily-spiced tofu crumbles. These things are going to be a regular menu item around here now. I'm looking forward to using the nests in Pho and other soups.

I am obsessed with Japanese konjac knot noodles aka Shirataki nests. Rinse thoroughly before cooking them in boiling water for 3-5 minutes. They're just like vermicelli noodles in texture and won't lose their shape. I dressed them with a ginger-garlic marinade and served with cucumber, tomato, tofu.
