Another Winner Salad: Crunchy, Nutty Farro Salad
Farro is one of those ingredients that once you add once, you’ll keep adding to your salads.

Taste It and You’ll Love It: Refreshing Apricot Compote
You won’t believe how much you’ll enjoy this refreshing, light fruity apricot dessert.

A Fresh Fish Dinner: Grilled Branzino With Tomato Garnish
Move over salmon: Branzino is the new fish to serve. When we were preparing our Shavuos content, the only thing missing from the list was a new fish option.

How Should You Season Cauliflower? With “Everything Spice”
No one will ever say that this cauliflower is missing flavor. After writing Dinner Done, we ended up with lots of recipes we created/wrote but didn’t put in the book. This cauliflower side dish was polished off whenever we made it, but we felt it overlapped with our Everything Bagel Salmon, so it didn’t make…

Must Make Now! Fall Salad with Persimmons and Feta
Persimmon season is short but oh so sweet! The best Costco trip of the year is usually the one when I find the persimmons are back in season. Sometimes they’re in 6 packs and sometimes in 9 packs, but I never hesitate to grab a couple of trays. While we usually just eat the persimmons…
