Charred Leek Pesto Pasta Salad with Almonds
My favorite episode of Chef’s Table is the one featuring Massimo Bottura. First of all, could he be more of a mensch?

Spicy Summer Chickpea Stew with Roasted Carrots, Spinach and Za’atar
The place where I struggle most with plant-based cooking is in the art of the fancy dinner party entree.

Creamy Chili Mango Popsicles
For as long as I can remember, I’ve hated oranges. Not just a turn-your-nose up and politely decline kind of hate. Mine borders on a phobia. I can smell an orange coming from half a mile away. The scent invades my airspace with the same ... Continue Reading about Creamy Chili Mango Popsicles
Saffron Risotto with Lemony Braised Spring Vegetables (+ The Hard Choices We Make Around Health)

Fresh Fennel Apple Limeade (Gin-Optional)
As you may recall if you’ve been in these parts since Feed Me Phoebe’s inception, in my previous cooking life, I was all about space, not health.

Black Bean Tacos with Sweet Potato-Leek Hash and Chipotle Tahini
I often talk about my crazy travel tendencies on this site.

Sunny Mango Immunity Smoothie Bowl with Goji Granola

Slow Cooker Lentil Chili with Black Beans, Pumpkin, and Kale
One of the first blog posts I ever wrote, way back in 2008, was about chili. In a cozy corner of my 4th floor walk-up, I had hatched the idea to challenge my friend Keith to a chili cook-off. No doubt wine or beer was involved, which had made both ... Continue Reading about Slow Cooker Lentil Chili with Black Beans, Pumpkin, and Kale
Vegan Butternut Squash Soup with Crispy Brussels Sprouts and Ginger

Vegetarian Cassoulet with Mushrooms and Chard
If I told you that I spent my first few years of life in Greenwich Village, you’d think it was the chic-est of childhoods. In the 80’s, however, downtown Manhattan had a much different vibe.

Massaged Kale Salad with Roasted Butternut Squash, Crispy Scallions and Sweet Chili Dressing
After the last week (er, month?) of Halloween candy, I’m guessing we could all use a marinated kale salad recipe right about now.
