4,044 Comments The best hummus is lusciously creamy, yet somehow light and fluffy. It’s beautifully smooth and swirled, and begging to be scooped up onto a wedge of pita bread. It’s nutty and tangy, thanks to the tahini, with notes of bright, fresh lemon and mellow garlic. I encountered the most delicious hummus at Aladdin Cafe, a local Mediterranean restaurant. That hummus met all of the above characteristics, and I was hoping the owner might enlighten me with his techniques. When I asked, though, he replied, “It’s a secret,” with a sly smile and walked away. I went home determined to...…4,044 Comments The best hummus is lusciously creamy, yet somehow light and fluffy.

95 Comments I’m so glad we made it to March. The days are growing longer already and I love how the spring sunshine illuminates our kitchen.

I’m looking forward to cooking my favorite green curry soon, shown below. You’ll find more seasonal recipes in this post!

597 Comments I’ve been on a vegetable-packed coconut curry kick lately—they’re just the perfect transition food for this time of year. This vegetarian Thai green curry recipe features fresh asparagus, carrots and spinach in a delicious green coconut sauce. It’s full of flavor and simple enough for weeknight dinners. I used store-bought Thai curry paste instead of raw ingredients, because some (like galangal) are difficult to find and time-consuming to prepare. I’ve watched a chef prepare curry paste in Thailand, and he really worked up a sweat! So while this recipe is not perfectly...…597 Comments I’ve been on a vegetable-packed coconut curry kick lately—they’re just the perfect transition food for this time of year.
