Carrot–Apple Miso Dressing

A colorful vegan soba noodle salad makes a refreshing lunch, but the punchy carrot–apple miso dressing is the star. Fresh ginger, garlic, and rice vinegar balance the sweetness of carrot and apple, while miso adds savory depth.

Chilled soba noodles tossed with toasted sesame oil are surrounded by crisp cucumber, carrot ribbons, grape tomatoes, edamame, and firm tofu. Pour the dressing over the bowl, add sliced scallions and black sesame seeds, and toss it all together for a satisfying lunch with plenty of flavor and texture.

Thai Green Curry Two Ways: Salmon or Vegan

Thai Green Curry with Shiitakes, Baby Corn, and Bok Choy

Thai green curry begins with fragrant curry paste and coconut milk. In this version, shiitake mushrooms, baby corn, and bok choy simmer in the aromatic sauce until the vegetables are tender.

For the salmon version, a pan-seared king salmon fillet rests on top instead of simmering in the curry, as the protein traditionally would. This keeps its golden, seasoned surface intact, with the sauce and vegetables beneath it. The same vegetables also make a satisfying vegan version, spooned over jasmine rice. It’s one curry dish prepared two ways, each with its own appeal.

Challah French Toast

Raisin Challah French Toast
A Rosh Hashanah Breakfast

For our Rosh Hashanah dinner, we bought two challahs. A plain challah was served with apples and honey at the beginning of the evening and accompanied the savory meal. The raisin challah was set aside for breakfast the following morning.

With its egg-enriched crumb and gentle sweetness, raisin challah is particularly well suited to French toast. Thick slices are soaked in a custard scented with vanilla and cinnamon, then cooked in butter until golden brown. Served with maple syrup, it continues the holiday’s celebration of sweetness into the next morning.

Egg Drop Soup with Spinach, Tofu & Chili Crisp

🥚 🍲 Egg Drop Soup 🍲 🥚
with
Spinach, Tofu, and Chili Crisp

Egg Drop Soup is one of those wonderfully simple dishes that proves a handful of everyday ingredients can become something truly satisfying. Soft wisps of egg are suspended in a fragrant broth seasoned with fresh ginger and white pepper, while firm cubes of tofu and fresh spinach transform it into a light meal rather than just a starter. It comes together in about 15 minutes, making it an excellent choice for lunch, a cozy dinner, or whenever you’re craving something warm and nourishing.

Offer chili crisp on the side so everyone can season their own bowl to taste. A drizzle of the aromatic chili oil and a few crispy bits add color, texture, and a pleasant kick without overwhelming the delicate broth. It’s an easy way to personalize each serving while letting the delicate flavors of the broth, tofu, spinach, and ginger shine.

Capellini al Pomodoro

🌿🍅 Capellini al Pomodoro 🍅🌿

Do we really need another pasta with tomato recipe? The answer is yes. Yes, we do.

Especially when it is peak tomato season.

There is no better time to enjoy tomatoes than right now, when they are at their sweetest, juiciest, and most flavorful. A simple bowl of Capellini al Pomodoro celebrates the beauty of fresh tomatoes with just a few ingredients—allowing the tomato itself to take center stage.

For this version, I use Campari tomatoes, which are ideal for this recipe. These petite tomatoes are known for their naturally sweet flavor, low acidity, and juicy texture. They are larger than cherry tomatoes but smaller than traditional slicing tomatoes, with a perfect balance of sweetness and tang. When gently cooked with garlic and olive oil, they soften into a silky, fresh tomato sauce while still maintaining some of their beautiful summer tomato character.

Sometimes the simplest pasta dishes are the ones we return to again and again. Fresh tomatoes, fragrant basil, good olive oil, a little butter, and a shower of Parmigiano-Reggiano are all you need for a bowl of pasta that tastes like summer.
