It’s hot in Sevilla in the summer. So hot that you’ll cross the street just to walk (slowly) on a sidewalk shaded by buildings and clench a water bottle in a sweaty fist at all times. Hot enough that the streets are watered to control the dust and tamp down the odors that exude from [...]

Got a pulse? Try some lentil soup.
I think lentils, an ancient food, are the crop to save the future as we adapt to new weather patterns hastened by “global weirding.”

“Quinoa Soup, Saigon Style”
Continuing the quest for healthier food, we’re delving into whole grains. Next on the list, quinoa. I’ve cooked it once before, and it wasn’t good. But it’s apparently a superfood — loaded with nutrients and protein, and devoid of anything bad for you. So it was worth a try. Thankfully, [...]

I’ve experimented with many different kale recipes, both cooked and raw — with roasted delicata squash or in an Asian peanut dressing, respectively. It’s a form of cabbage so it has a [...]
Miso good
This whole blogging thing is interesting because it’s pushing me to spend time finding out about ingredients that I have been taking for granted. This time it’s miso. I have a really quick miso soup that I whip up when I don’t feel like making anything for dinner and the market on the way home [...]

I love this time of year when the crisp Fall air settles in and there’s nothing better than staying at home with a steaming hot bowl of soup. Last weekend was the perfect day for making soup, and one of the soups I made was Butternut Squash. This rich, thick, sunny colored soup just makes [...]
