We are finally getting some summer-like weather in New England, and to celebrate I took this opportunity to serve a chilled soup. This recipe was adapted by Tejal Rao, a NYTimes contributor, from an original by Erin French, founder of Lost Kitchen in Freedom, Maine. I definitely will be revisiting this recipe for a couple…

22 Mar 2023: Charred Cabbage Smothered in Tomato Gravy Over Grits
I was determined that this was going to be the year that I used up the ENTIRE cabbage. And so, I went in search of leftover cabbage recipes. Fortunately, my search took place the day after St. Patrick’s Day when I understand a lot of folks like to boil the heck out of cruciferous vegetables…
07 Jan 2023: Red Curry Lentils with Sweet Potatoes and Spinach
Happy 2023! One of the cooking books I received this year was Christopher Kimball’s Cook What You Have from Milk Street Kitchens.

Sometimes the Fall rollercoaster gets the best of me, but last night I hopped off and opened up my trusty and well-loved 1977 edition of the Moosewood Cookbook by Mollie Katzen for a little cuisine inspiration.

18 August 2022: Spinach Casserole with Thyme
From the time we were first married, Adrien and I had a Boston Globe newspaper (print edition) delivered to our home. While we no longer subscribe to the Globe for a variety of reasons, when we did, I used to look forward to each Wednesday because of the Food focus. Unfortunately I cannot give credit…
06 Aug 2022: Summer Corn and Barley Salad
Mollie Katzen’s recipes are always a hit in our house and this one, from 2013’s The Heart of the Plate, was no exception. It is the perfect summer salad as fresh cukes and tomatoes are in abundance, and it is easily adaptable – as I quickly discovered when I neglected to buy fresh corn at…
01 Jul 2022: Chilled Cucumber-Yogurt Soup
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…
10 Apr. 2022: Dorie Greenspan’s Green-As-Spring Soup
This was a delightful soup – hot or cold. Night One we ate it just as it finished cooking with a dollop of Greek yogurt, lime, and some basil. The next day, I took Dorie Greenspan at her word that the soup was good hot or cold and ate leftovers straight from the fridge. Both…

Along with the inspirational yoga, Kripalu has a wonderful and well-earned reputation for deliciously healthy and healing foods.
