Uncooked

Stay chill this spooky season.

As much as we love ice cream, we wouldn’t want you to miss out on another sweet, creamy treat: homemade frozen yogurt. So I went about looking for the very best method for making frozen yogurt. After testing several recipes I’ve found that whipping up your own batch of fro-yo isn’t too different from making your own ice cream, though there are a few key differences to keep in mind.

When you need a simple salad to make the meal complete, this tumble of arugula and shaved fennel is all you need. I find the combo of peppery arugula and sweet, crunchy fennel so delightfully addictive — so much so that I’ll sometimes eat a big bowlful with just a wedge of toasted baguette and call that dinner. The salad takes seconds to make, even counting the time to shake together the easy vinaigrette of lemon juice and olive oil.

Baguette layered with thinly sliced ham, Gruyère cheese, and cornichons — très délicieux!

If you’re looking for a quick, cheap lunch and want new ways to fancy-up canned tuna, this recipe is for you! Tuna is tossed with an orange-ginger dressing, creamy avocado and served with rice and vegetables. It’s a simple yet satisfying budget recipe that makes for a great lunch. When I look at a can of tuna, it saddens me that such a convenient and tasty (in my opinion!) food is just so…unattractive, especially when compared to fresh tuna steak.

With winter out of the way, one vegetable I’ve been seeing in abundance at Bay Area farmers markets is the sputnik-like vegetable with the funny name, kohlrabi. Eaten raw, it’s fresh, crisp, and the ideal ingredient for a summer slaw. This kohlrabi slaw is actually one of my favorite summer recipes. Quick and easy to make, it’s a nice cool side dish to eat after a long, warm day of working in the garden, or at a sunny picnic under flowering fruit trees.
