Whole charcoal-roasted kohlrabi
lot of people have never heard of kohlrabi, and those who have are often reluctant to try it since it looks a little like an alien when the bulb is held upright and the stems and leaves are hanging below it. I’ve experimented with many ways of preparing this cruciferous vegetable, but roasting it on […]

kohlrabi kimchi
While I enjoy cabbage-based kimchi, I prefer the firm bite that I get from turnip much more. Inspired by turnip kimchi, I use kohlrabi for this bold and spicy version. You can find gochugaru—red chile powder used in Korean cooking—at Asian markets or online. Ingredients: 1 pound kohlrabi, peeled and cut into large dice 1 […]

Apple and kohlrabi coleslaw
This is one of my favorite salads in this book. Since the crunchy apple and kohlrabi are so refreshing, it would make the perfect palate cleanser between heavier courses at dinner, but most often I eat it for a light lunch.

Crunchy, bitter, and tart salad with sweet mustard vinaigrette
People most often associate salads with summertime, but I need *clap* my *clap* bitter *clap* leaves *clap* during the colder months. Belgian endive, curly endive, radicchio, frisée, escarole. Give me all the chicories! I think it might be more accurate to describe these as bittersweet greens, since they often have a subtly sweet earthy flavor that […]

Salad basics
Whether I’m using spring and summer varieties like butter, red leaf, and romaine or fall and winter bitter leaves like radicchio, chicory, and frisée, I incorporate salad greens into hearty salads throughout the year.

Asparagus with lemon-pepper marinade
I created this recipe after watching the second episode of the first season of Atlanta. I’ve never had lemon pepper wings, but when Darius and Paper Boi drooled over the light emanating from their chicken-filled box, it was clear that I needed to see what all the hype was about. After an afternoon of testing, while […]

Shaved asparagus salad
There is something about the combination of asparagus and lemon that keeps me coming back for more. This recipe has a similar flavor profile to the Asparagus with Lemon-Pepper Marinade , but don’t fret; this dish serves a different purpose than that one. I imagine the grilled asparagus in the second recipe being served on […]
