This is my interpretation of vegetarian siu mai. The Asian dumplings are often filled with meat, so this is my attempt to create a toothsome, equally flavorful appetizer without meat. To do so, I prepared and filled the siu mai pockets with bean curd, jicama, shiitake, wood ear mushrooms, green onions, rice wine, soy sauce and sesame oil.Shaping dumplings with a vegetarian filling while preventing them from collapsing once they were steamed was a bit challenging. I used silicon mini muffin liners to avoid a possible culinary disaster and keep them appealing. Sometimes, thinking outside the box can be a life-saver for the home cook that I am!

Vegetarian Lentil and Chickpea Meatballs with Lemon Pesto Recipe on Food52
I love meatballs of all kinds, and these are one my favorites. They are really healthy, but you wouldn’t know it when you eat them. It’s perfect for summer when I don’t want to have the stove on a long time and heat up the kitchen. The lemon pesto is great on all sorts of other things as well, and I like it as a dipping sauce for veggies in summer. A nice hit of citrus really brightens up the meatballs too.

Deep-Dish Chicken Pot Pie Recipe on Food52
I made this pie last winter for the first time, and there is nothing more warm, comforting, or rustically impressive to bring to the dinner table in the coldest months of the year.
Swiss Chard and Lemon Ricotta Pasta
This is an easy, last minute dinner since you might have many of the ingredients on hand. If you don’t have any swiss chard, kale, spinach and arugula also work great. If you use kale, I recommend removing the tough central stem. If you use either arugula or baby spinach leaves, you don’t need to precook them at all; just toss them in at the end. The warmth of the pasta will sufficiently wilt them.
Recipe — Salmon, Quinoa and Vegie Rice Paper Rolls
Roll up for this low-cal, low-fat and gluten-free lunch!
Ingredients:
- 110g (3/4 cup) cooked quinoa (see tip)
- 1 teaspoon salt-reduced gluten-free tamari, plus extra, to serve
- 6 round 20cm rice paper wrappers
- 95g can smoked boneless and skinless salmon, drained, flaked
- 100g snow peas, trimmed, shredded
- 1/2 red capsicum, deseeded, thinly sliced
- 1 carrot, peeled, cut into long thin matchsticks
- 12 mint leaves
Directions:
- Step 1
Place the quinoa in a bowl with the tamari and toss to combine.
- Step 2
Soak a rice paper wrapper in hot water for 10-20 seconds. Transfer to a clean tea towel to absorb excess water. Place a little of the quinoa in the middle of the rice paper. Top with one-sixth of the salmon, snow pea, capsicum, carrot and 2 of the mint leaves.
- Step 3
Roll up to enclose the filling. Place the roll under a slightly damp cloth (to prevent drying out). Continue with remaining rice paper and fillings, placing rolls under damp cloth.
- Step 4
Serve with extra tamari, if desired.

The Cake of Three (Dolce del Tre) Recipe on Food52
The recipe for this Tuscan cake is based on a ratio of weight (cups and ounces are given too, though you can see it’s a lot easier to remember in grams!). It’s an old-fashioned recipe that I found in a cookbook by Claudia Spargi on the cuisine of Tuscany’s Maremma region. It makes a cake that is springy, moist and delicately flavored—the kind of cake Italians would call a “breakfast cake” and the perfect blank canvas, too, for those who want to play around with adding more to it. Traditional Italian favorites might be lemon or orange zest, vanilla extract, a splash of rum or sambuca, or chopped nuts, chocolate, or dried fruit. A layer of sliced apples or pears over the top would be delicious, too. The options are pretty much endless. It keeps very well, wrapped well in plastic wrap. Leave as is or dust with confectioners’ sugar.

Recipe ~ Thin Mint-Oreo Bailey’s Irish Cream Milkshake
4 scoops vanilla ice cream
100ml (about 3 oz) of Bailey’s Mint Irish Cream (if you are more of a lush than me…add more)
4 Thin Mint cookies
4 Double Stuffed Oreos
Milk to thin (this will depend on your preference for thickness of shake. I like a thinner one so that I don’t make that face where your cheeks go all the way in when you suck through the straw because it’s so thick you have to use all you got to suck it up the straw)
Add to a blender ice cream, booze, cookies, and a splash of milk.
Turn it on low at first and then build up speed. Add milk as you need to thin it out.
Pour into a glass. Top with whipped cream and more cookies if desired. Sit on your butt while drinking it. Eat some chocolate.

Recipe ~ Vegetable Latkes
Celebrate Hanukkah with Vegetable Latkes!
Latkes are a favorite Jewish dish that is a deep fried, traditionally made with potatoes and ground Matzo crackers and topped with sour cream (lots of it, for me!)
For this recipe, I grated zucchini, carrots, parsnips and potatoes, with a little thinly sliced onions and parsley to make a bright and crispy Vegetable Latkes recipe.
This video was filmed during Passover, so you’ll hear me referring to Passover. But Vegetable Latkes are definitely worthy and traditional for Hanukkah as well! And whether or not you celebrate Hanukkah, I promise this is one simple and affordable recipe that you and your family will love.
Enjoy the video and I hope you see just how easy it is to make Vegetable Latkes at home!
Happy Hanukkah!
