I absolutely love this Chocolate Cardamom Olive Oil torte. It is the perfect base for whatever fruit is in season. I’ve made this torte with plums, pears, blackberries, and here, apricots. I tend to change up the nut as well. Try plums + almonds or blackberries + walnuts. I’ve never found a version of this torte I haven’t liked. AND it’s gluten-free!

This is a great side salad, or if you are looking to serve this as the main course, feel free to add some grilled chicken or seared tofu to make it more substantial.

I love using this salad as a palette refresher. Crunchy, juicy, sweet, and comes with a kick!

This salad is perfect for hot summer days and it comes together in a flash.

These come together in a pinch - they are quick, easy, beautiful, and delicious. What I enjoy most about them is that they are so adaptable and are the perfect vehicles to showcase whatever fruit is currently in season.

Often we are used to using oil based sauces for dipping bread - this however, is a completely different beast. Flavorful and intense, yet clean feeling, light, and refreshing. Delicious served with a loaf of crunchy bread or cheesy toasts.

This salad is perfect for adding brightness to a plate. Use it to contrast a heavier dish, like roasted meats, or serve it as a main with a good loaf of crusty bread. The key to this salad is slicing the denser brassicas of Brussel sprouts, kale, and cabbage thinly - it keeps the salad lighter.

I could easily demolish a couple of heads of this roasted garlic in one sitting. It is not just the physical clove that gets soft during roasting, the flavor itself softens and becomes this whole different beast compared to raw garlic. Delicious spread on warm toast, but don’t think it stops there—roasted garlic adds a roundness of umami to almost any dish. Or be like me and just pop those gorgeous cloves straight into your mouth. Yum.

Beautifully green and just stunning to serve, these grilled peas on a skewer are a serious level-up for the potentially plain pea. Slightly smokey, salty, and sweet - I thoroughly enjoy these.
