I wanted a down-home, comfy cookie. No bells and whistles, no nuts, no chocolate chips, no oatmeal. No spicy ginger, nutty peanut butter, or cloying molasses.
A light and tangy dressing paired with Brussels sprouts seems out of the ordinary at first, but the flavors work together quite well. The chestnuts add a nice crunch to the dish.
Carrot Salad with Cucumber, Peppadews, & Pom Vinaigrette
I love peppadews. These little peppers can be found in the Zupan’s olive bar and are the perfect combination of sweet and hot. This whole salad is a bright and zingy little dish that can chase away any gray day.
A slight variation of sunomono, a Japanese-style vinegared salad which has a refreshing taste. Here, the grapefruit juice is used to create ponzu vinaigrette and the degree of spiciness can be made mild or hot, depending on your taste.
I always keep a jar of lemon curd in my fridge for an “emergency” treat. Slather this bright and refreshing curd on scones, pancakes, crepes, cakes…pretty much anything will go well with it!
