This is one of my very oldest recipes, concocted long before I had the first thought of writing a cookbook. This recipe became a mainstay for me back in my college days, when I was super, super broke. There have been a few tweaks to …

Golden Beet Risotto
In my first cookbook, one of the sections was family recipes, made up of some of my favorite foods from my childhood. In the time between the first cookbook and the second, something happened which really changed my family: Ayana and I got married. My family grew to encompass a whole new clan of wonderful folks.

Blue Hawaii
I am a real sucker for tiki drinks, and the Blue Hawaii is one of my favorites. It’s relatively simple as far as tiki drinks go, really only requiring one things that you aren’t likely to already have in your regular rotation, blue curacao. This …

Panzanella
If I’m being perfectly honest, I hate making salads. Especially in the bus, with our tiny counter and tinier fridge, it is such a hassle. One little bin of greens, enough to have salad with dinner for a few days, takes up about half of our fridge space. And that little bin of greens also mandates a whole host of other vegetables and various accoutrements. or else the salads will be incredibly boring. Then, each evening, you must remove each of these from the fridge, one at a time, and chop up a tiny bit, all to make everyone’s least favorite part of dinner. It’s a real bummer in my book. Too much work and too much space for too dull a dish. But then, what if we were to eschew all those fridge-hogging greens and instead make croutons the base of the salad?
