seasonal, modern, exuberant
These colorful roots are never more delicious than when prepared simply. Here they’re baked until perfectly tender and dressed with a delightful anise-flavored vinaigrette.
When crushed in a mortar, the anise seeds impart a delicate licorice-essence to the beets, making this unfussy salad a tad exotic.

The end of February is the time of year when I become incredibly thankful for citrus fruits. They bring a welcome freshness to late-winter fare, while giving us a foretaste of spring.
Today’s salad is so simple that it can be assembled in minutes. After trimming and slicing the oranges, all you need do is arrange them with baby greens on the plate – then drizzle them with a luscious olive vinaigrette, which spikes the sweet-and-sour orange slices with bits of briny saltiness.

Tacos! Who doesn’t love tacos? This traditional Mexican dish has certainly become a beloved American food, and it’s easy to see why. Tacos are incredibly versatile (they can be stuffed with just about anything), they’re easy to make, they’re nutritious and, most of all of course, they’re incredibly delicious.

It’s hard to resist potatoes. Puréed, boiled, baked, fried, roasted.. no matter how you cook them, these humble roots always taste good.
But bake oven fries with cumin seeds and these spuds are not just good, they’re sublime. The cumin seeds, while roasting along with the potatoes, acquire a deep flavor and add a bit of crunch to each slice – making them addictive and dreamy!
