But Kripalu is also well-known for it’s wonderful and nourishing meals, sometimes eaten mindfully in silence. I’ve frequently attempted to replicate some of the wonderful, healthy foods served to guests, and…

Recently, my cooking has been inspired by some genealogical research into my Sicilian family. My sisters and I have been uncovering our family history in Linguaglossa, Sicily and, while the recipes I’ve been experimenting with are not from Sicily, they are rooted in Italy and its culture. This soup, makes a huge pot of green…

It’s starting to be soup weather again. This roasted carrot, potato and parsnip – yes parsnip – soup comes from Martha Rose Shulman who regularly contributes to the New York Times. I’m often drawn to Ms. Shulman’s recipes as they are easy to follow and, more importantly, delicious. I’ve gifted the recipe here via my…

Melissa Clark is contributor and columnist for New York Times Cooking as well as a trusted cookbook author. She has some terrific ideas for cooking – or in this case, not-too-much cooking.

Since our New England “spring” has been dominated by wet, rainy, and otherwise chilly weather, this warming soup seemed like a good match. The original recipe comes from Ashley Fehr on her cooking website, Recipe Rebel, and it makes 6 good sized servings. We actually found there were closer to 8 servings so I was…

This delicious soup – served hot or cold – comes from Jacques Pépin’s Simple and Healthy Cooking, written in 1994. One of the best things about this cookbook, besides the usual amazing dishes Chef Pépin shares, is that the nutrition information has already been calculated. That makes it easy for folks who need to monitor…

On this 90-plus degree day, we turned to our cherished Moosewood Cookbook for a cool, refreshing, and light summer’s night dinner. Made early in the day, the soup had plenty of time to chill. It was also simple to pull together – add everything to a blender and blend. Chilled Cucumber-Yogurt Soup Recipe from Mollie…

This soup was very satisfying – not vegetarian, but could easily adapted to be so. The combination of mashed and whole chickpeas made for an interesting texture. I personally would substitute something less salty for the chicken broth (wine?) and I would never use garlic powder. The portion sizes must be huge! I made a…
