With summer approaching, here’s a starter that always has a place among my fresh salads - raw artichoke, sliced carpaccio-style and seasoned.

Arancini are crispy little balls on the outside and melty on the inside. They’re perfect if you have leftover risotto from the day before, but they’re so good you might make risotto just for this! Here’s a vegetarian version with pesto and mozzarella.

Caramelized oven-roasted onions with just 2 ingredients and no effort, perfect as a side dish for meat or in a quiche.

I love tarts and quiches as much as I love mushrooms. This week, looking for a change from my traditional mushroom quiche, I came across a recipe from chef Ottolenghi that inspired this dish. I simplified it with what I had on hand and adapted it to our tastes, and everyone loved it. The tarragon and dill combination pairs beautifully with the mushrooms and gives it an original flavor. The classic quiche custard (eggs + cream) is replaced here with a delicious mushroom cream (which can also be made dairy-free). Let me share it with you!

After trying numerous mediocre recipes and store-bought sauces that weren’t any better, I finally found THE spring roll sauce just the way I like it. Unlike other sauces, I don’t use fish sauce. It’s sweet yet slightly spicy and pairs wonderfully with egg rolls, spring rolls, and imperial rolls.
