How many delicious foods disappear from our tables because someone in the household has decided they don't like them? It doesn't have to be that way. It's time to put your food detective hat on.

It's time to stop being frightened by a word and a bean. Estrogen and phytoestrogen are not interchangeable. And soybeans are not estrogen pills. I'd hate to see an extraordinarily useful, nutritious and ancient food pushed off our plates because we confused the two.

After decades of nutritional whiplash, perhaps there's something reassuring about how unexciting much of the broad dietary advice actually is. Eat a variety of vegetables and fruits. Eat legumes, whole grains and nuts. Favor foods that aren't heavily processed. Diet that we can actually live with and thrive on can't be reduced to a single food.

Some recipes carry more than their ingredients. I first made this golden beet soup at least fifteen years ago. I took a photograph of it and, as one did in those days, posted it on Facebook. My phone rang almost immediately. It was Charlie Abowd. My friend, the late Charlie Abowd, in his restaurant - Adele's - in Carson City, Nevada Charlie was the chef and owner of Adele's in Carson City, a James Beard chef, a good friend, and someone who generously mentored and encouraged m

I started making these, and other meals, for the Veteran's Guest House and the Freedom Pantry because food-insecure veterans deserve real, nourishing meals — not just calories. But testing this batch for myself showed me the same recipe that works for a food pantry works just as well for a busy family's lunch rotation.

A few years ago, I joined the ranks of those who simply can't seem to get a decent nights' sleep, and nothing seemed to help. Until I discovered the Sleep Reset app.

This is a very "carrot forward" soup, built on a base of red lentils that cook down into something silky and comforting in almost no time at all. It's the kind of soup that tastes like it took a lot more effort than it did — which, frankly, is my favorite kind of recipe.

This post explores five common barriers to diet change, originally outlined by UT MD Anderson, and applies them specifically to adopting a WFPB lifestyle. You will find practical tips and examples to help you navigate these hurdles and build lasting habits that support your health and well-being.

I look forward to mid-summer every year, and a garden full of eggplant, so I can make one of my favorite dishes — Sicilian caponata. It's an easy dish to make, taking only about 20 minutes of actual work.

Shrubs - not the plants- are drinking vinegars that are the perfect, refreshing antidote to hot summer days. Just pour a little sparkling water over the syrup and voila, you've got summer in a glass

This is a quick and easy, customizable lunch or light dinner wrap using whatever fresh 'greens' are available from your garden or farmers' market. I've filled this one with Chef Chew's Kitchen plant-based shredded chicken.

This dish is the antidote to "it's too hot to cook" plus a killer place to riff on what glorious fresh veg you might have from the farmers market

The secret to perfection is time. Give this salad an hour — ideally two or four — and the broad Romano beans absorb the white balsamic vinaigrette, turning each pod into something deeply savory, lightly tangy, and impossible to stop eating. And, this salad would be perfect for a picnic or potluck BBQ.

Whether you're working with a backyard haul, a farmers market score, or a grocery store flat, here's everything you need to make the most of tomato season.

This salad is less a recipe and more a technique — you really just use whatcha got in the pantry and whatever's looking good in the produce bin.

During the summer, I keep a steady rotation of different versions of gazpacho in my fridge. It's easy, it makes use of seasonal produce from the farmers market, and it's so refreshing and cool. It doesn't weigh you down.

This coleslaw started as an Asian-inspired side. It became the thing everyone asks for — whether the menu is Japanese or not.
