  • In this beautiful salad recipe I combine three different colors of beets, plus watermelon radish and pomegranate seeds. The radish adds a different type of crunch and hotness. The pomegranate seeds add sweetness and tang to the salad

  • When I conjure inspiration for a meatless antipasto, I think of hearty starches that give hungry carnivores something to work with. The Jerusalem artichoke, also known as the sunchoke, is substantial but with a delicate flavor

  • The first few times I tried kimchi it was not, I must admit, my favorite food. Then I met my Korean-American partner, Gregory, moved in with his mom -- a superb cook -- and within a few months I was wholly converted

  • Blue cheese and slow-cooked onions turn a grilled portobello into an indulgent portobello burger. Ruby port, a sweet fortified wine, gives extra depth of flavor to the caramelized onions

  • Nobody will miss the meat in this colorful, zesty and tasty vegetarian taco salad recipe. Plus, the rice and bean mixture can be made ahead and the salad quickly assembled at mealtime

  • Asparagus, chives and fontina cheese top this easy spring pizza recipe. Serve with baby greens tossed with vinaigrette and pecans

  • For this soup recipe, I swapped ginger for assertive chipotle chilis in adobo sauce. Smoky, fiery chipotle chilis are the perfect antidote to boring butternut squash soup. With cilantro, onions and cumin, this soup has a decidedly Southwest flair

  • This fried rice and vegetable recipe features sliced Brussels sprouts and parsnips, but feel free to use whatever is fresh and in season. This recipe works best in a wok

  • What makes this recipe really come alive are the Mediterranean touches like a sprinkle of urfa biber, a drizzle of gorgeous pomegranate molasses, and a bit of good feta. Elegant but not complicated, this dish is just the thing

  • This recipe is inspired by the Greek-style beans I used to eat at my favorite Greek restaurant. The wine brings out summery flavors in this warm dish, and they turn out soft but not mushy, firm but not crunchy

  • I love cantaloupe boats because they're healthy and refreshing on a hot summer day. And who wouldn't love that? Feel free to play around with ingredients you like until you find your favorite combo

  • Holy moley, grilled guacamole? Well, yes! Have you tried it? If not, you should. It's easy, smoky and so, so good. Here's how to make it

  • Sauteing farmers' market vegetables creates the sauce. Toss in the cooked gnocchi and you're ready for a great meal. Perfect for a summertime lunch or dinner

  • In this recipe I use almonds rather than pine nuts and add fresh marjoram, one of my favorite summer herbs. Fresh green beans are delicious on their own, but this takes them to the next level

  • Adapt the kale pesto recipe in spring with spinach, a mix of greens in summer and once fall and winter come around again try all those hearty greens like kale, chard, collards and rapin

  • By all means, play with the recipe. Butternut squash also loves sage. Just season squash with salt and pepper and add a handful of fresh chopped sage in the last few minutes of the cooking time. Or try fresh chopped rosemary or thyme

  • I created this recipe one day when fussy food-loving vegetarians were coming to dinner. I wanted something slightly unusual but speedy to prepare. The result was a bit hit at our table. Everyone loved this combination of sturdy portabella mushrooms combined with tomatoes and creamy cannelini beans.

  • Early spring is prime time for a simple, hearty stew. Depending where you live, the first baby vegetables should be showing up in markets in a matter of weeks. A vegetable medley like this is ideal with grilled fish, turkey or veal escalope, or a pork chop. It can stand alone as a first course or vegetarian main, a tantalizing hint of warm-weather pleasures to come.

  • Every once in a while, even I am surprised. That's certainly what happened to me at the Governors Ball. It became clear that the vegetable paella recipe that I share with you today was the big hit of the event. Almost everyone asked for seconds and thirds
