Caramelized fennel salad with pecorino, green olives, and almonds
You can make this salad right after cooking and cooling the fennel, or up to a week later.
La Boîte Latkes
This latke recipe is inspired by Indian chickpea fritters and traditional potato pancakes.
Oven-Roasted Artichokes and Garlic
My updated method, where the artichokes are cleaned, halved, and roasted facedown, yields a firmer texture but still allows you to scrape the tender meat from each leaf.
Sabich Burgers with Peach Amba
Eggplants make a great substitute for meat and breading them this way makes it feel like you’re eating shnitzel.
Chicken Shawarma
Cinder Cocktail
Phil Ward is one of America’s best mixologists, and he helped me realize the great potential of my blends in cocktails.
Sesame Noodle Salad
Creamy, nutty, and full of vegetables this fresh noodle dish is great as a chilled main course or saucy side dish.
Everything Pita
I adore lamb, and often make burgers at home. One of the things I love about lamb is how it can stand up to other strong flavors. Enter assertive arugula, zesty red onion, along with the rosemary and pepper. My wife was not a huge lamb fan when we met, but this burger brought her over from the dark side. Quick, easy, and delicious for any meal.
