Coconut Shrimp

Posted on February 16, 2023 by Emily Wasserman

Cauliflower Frittata

Posted on June 11, 2021 by Emily Wasserman

Loaded Sweet Potato Nachos

Posted on October 5, 2020 by Emily Wasserman

My Very First Cheese Soufflé

Posted on August 8, 2020 by Emily Wasserman

I made my first cheese soufflé a couple weeks ago. I guess I feel the same way about it that people do about their firstborns. Except that unlike most people with firstborns, I forgot to tell you about it for … Continue reading →

Wheat Berry Corn and Zucchini Salad

Posted on July 29, 2020 by Emily Wasserman

This wheat berry, corn, and zucchini salad was born, like so many great things, of necessity. I was thinking about making a “zoodles” salad out of spiralized zucchini, corn, cheese, and cilantro. Then I got out my spiralizer attachment, which … Continue reading →

Zucchini Tart with Basil Ricotta Filling

Posted on July 24, 2020 by Emily Wasserman

Tarts with puff pastry are one of my favorite things to make. They look super impressive and are deceptively easy. I guess you could make your own puff pastry from scratch, but unless I’m making croissants or pain au chocolat, … Continue reading →

Watermelon, Cucumber, and Mint Salad

Posted on July 23, 2020 by Emily Wasserman
