Winter Salad Hummus Bowls
Massage kale and brussels sprouts in a sweet, tangy dressing of rice vinegar, soy sauce, and honey, then serve it with creamy hummus and jammy eggs.
Salad Pasta
Not pasta salad—it’s salad pasta. A whole salad’s worth of greens, folded into pasta to make a complete dinner in one bowl.
Bubble and Squeak With Stilton
The Stilton adds another dimension to the bubble and squeak, giving it a wonderfully rich and redolent tang. Served with slices of Christmas ham, this is a dish that would certainly get those Herald angels singing.

With the nearly year-round availability of zucchini and cherry and grape tomatoes, this dish brings color and flavor to the table any time you’d like.
Red Pesto Rigatoni

Take the time to really cook the onion and garlic in this recipe until they’re completely soft—this encourages them to release even more flavor into the velvety-rich tomato broth.
Pasta al Limone
This creamy lemon pasta recipe is luscious and amply cheesy, but still bright and fresh. Best part: You can make it for dinner in just 15 minutes.
Sake-Braised Mustard Greens With Sesame
Use less-spicy kale instead of mustard greens if you prefer a milder side dish—or try a mixture of both.
Soft Polenta with Mushrooms and Spinach

Grilled Bacon BLTs
Thick-cut bacon grills much better than thin strips, which have a tendency to get burnt and overly crisp.

Nutritional yeast adds a hit of umami that plays well with earthy kale and buckwheat noodles. We suggest using curly kale, which roasts into light, crispy chips.
Fried Egg Bánh Mì
This sandwich gets immense flavor from a modest list of ingredients like eggs, vegetables, and herbs. The fish sauce spiked-mayo packs a powerful punch.
Raw Tomato Sauce
Newsflash: you're messing up your tomato sauce by cooking it.
Mix-and-Match Fools

Baked Tomatoes, Peppers, and Goat Cheese
