A fresh, quick starter with a bright lemon flavor.

Here is a basic recipe (and a childishly simple one) for breadcrumbs scented with garlic and herbs, which will give a taste of summer to your dishes.

Hugely popular these last few years, bo bun is a fresh, complete Vietnamese dish that’s perfect for summer. It combines different textures and lovely sweet-and-sour flavors. It’s usually served with marinated, stir-fried beef, but I’m offering you a vegetarian version that’s just as excellent.

Truffles are probably the easiest chocolate bite there is. You eat them without being hungry (and without end…) and they are perfect with coffee. Here is a chocolatey, indulgent recipe with no dairy at all!

In a word? Delicious. Israeli chef Eyal Shani has restored this excellent, sometimes overlooked vegetable to its former glory.

And if nothing else, you’ll have a great recipe to serve to your vegetarian friends.

Caponata is a Sicilian cousin of French ratatouille. The two are made in much the same way, but what gives caponata its distinctive flavor are the capers, the vinegar and the black olives. Today I’m sharing my Italian grandmother’s recipe. Vegan, gluten-free and parve, it fits on any kosher table.

Who said you can’t make a delicious meal from pantry staples? This recipe was such a hit at home that I had to share it. As for the ginger, here’s my no-waste tip: I always buy a nice big root, peel it, cut it into 1-2 cm pieces and freeze them in a bag, spacing the pieces well apart, so I always have some on hand.
