Greek Pasta Salad
This Greek Pasta Salad has become one of my favorite warm-weather dishes because it reflects so much of what I love about Mediterranean cooking: simple ingredients, bright flavors, lots of vegetables and herbs, and, of course, excellent olive oil.
It’s the kind of dish that frees you to spend less time in the kitchen and more time around the table.
Macerated Strawberries

Easiest Thumbprint Cookies Ever
Easiest almond flour thumbprint cookies made with only 5 ingredients, including black raspberry jam.
Chocolate Olive Oil Mousse
Your kitchen is your medicine cabinet. This recipe isn’t really a dessert—though it could pass as one. Chocolate Olive Oil Mousse is what I eat when I need focus and a pick-me-up, like when I’m writing…or working on my taxes.
Chocolate-Covered Holiday Bites
For Easter, I am making little white chocolate nests filled with blueberries, nuts, and edible flowers, along with a set of dates that look like decorated eggs. You can take something decadent, like white chocolate, and make it healthy-ish for Easter and Passover, when aesthetics take center stage.
Broccoli & White Bean Soup
Longevity is in repeated acts. This soup supports your heart, brain, and microbiome, and is ready in 15 minutes using the simplest ingredients: frozen broccoli, frozen peas, a can of beans, and a box of bone broth.
Vegetable Lasagne
A plant-forward vegetable lasagne layered with olive oil, mushrooms, tomatoes, eggplant, zucchini, tofu, and nutritional yeast.
Minestrone
It All Begins Here. My mom always said that cooking a pot of Minestrone helped her to find quiet, focus on the ingredients, and gain perspective on a situation. I think it was her 1980s version of meditation!
