This particular uneven pasta is characteristic of the Emilia Romagna region and of […]
Last week I had to prepare a dairy-free Thanksgiving menu for a client, cornbread included. I am not a big fan of the regular cornbread that I consider rather a cake (too sweet and too powdery to my palate) and I got a bit nervous about making it without butter or milk. Using almond milk and […]

Last week I made this recipe in a Manhattan PS where I taught a group of food-passionate 7th graders and despite the dull peelers we had at our disposal, the salad was a big success. They loved it! I would never have imagined that raw vegetables, especially asparagus, could be […]
