Ready to take the leap and move on from SourFaux? Tackle a loaf with no added yeast? It’s fun! There’s something almost magical about watching a combination of flour and water transform itself into dough. I had such good results following Serious Eats’ method of making Sourdough Starter that I decided to try their recipe for the bread. It came…

Baked Salmon With Gingered Rhubarb
Tangy rhubarb, bright ginger, and mellow onions are the perfect accompaniment to one of my favorite kinds of fish. This excellent dish is an adaptation (with very little change) of a recipe I found at Taste of Home. The day I made it, I was using up some rhubarb I had left over from baking Rhubarb…

Roasted Garlic Frittata With Broccolini & Red Peppers
Fresh and delicious, this frittata is adapted from Cooking Light. There are two tricks to the recipe that ensure roasted garlic flavor in every bite.

Grilled Za’atar Zucchini
For most of my life, I never really saw the point of zucchini. It seemed oddly-textured and somewhat bland. Then I made Ginger-Soy Chicken Packets, where the zucchini soaks up the sauce and becomes one of the best bits in the packet. Ever since I discovered that, I’ve been looking for other ways to make this…
