Curry is a go-to comfort food in our house. Indian, Thai, Japanese, Indonesian curry… I could cook them every day and never get tired of it. For this salmon curry, I pretty much eyeballed all the spices, but I used garam masala, coriander powder, ginger, cumin, turmeric, cardamon, fennel seeds, cinnamon, peeled tomatoes, fresh garlic, and dash of chili powder in this delightful dish. Hope you’re spicing up your week too. If you need some more inspiration, check out this new YouTube Channel I recently came across and absolutely love: Get Curried

I had a variations of this dish in several restaurants around Tel Aviv and Jerusalem and it’s always mind blowing what heights the humble cauliflower can rise to. I hope you enjoy as much as we do in our house. Ingredients: 1 medium head cauliflower 1/3 extra virgin olive oil 1/2 cup tahini 1/2 cup warm water 2 roasted cloves of garlic crushed…

Weekends are for Grazing
Winter is citrus season here on the island and we can get the most delicious blood oranges, pomelos, lemons and my beloved persimmon. I grow up eating this in Brasil and every time I find them in the supermarkets around the world it brings me back to afternoons with my dad eating those fresh and perfectly sweet and delicious fruit. What does one do with a bag of oranges and persimmon? Spread it out on a few boards and graze away, open a bottle of delicious Greek chardonnay and voilà; the perfect winter afternoon in our backyard.

You’ll love your vegetables on meat-free Mondays or any day of the week when they taste like this. Ok, I know cauliflower isn’t for everyone, but I absolutely love it. A great whipped cauliflower mash and cauliflower fried rice have earned their places on my regular menu, but they’re going to have to make a little room now for their curried cousin. This is perfect with rice, and maybe a mango lassi. Check it out and let me know what you think? Ingredients: 1/4 cup cooking oil (ghee) 1 tablespoon ground coriander 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin 1/2 teaspoon turmeric 1/4 teaspoon dried red-pepper flakes 1 medium head cauliflower, cut…
