I came across this recipe from Ethan Stowells Instagram. It’s now a favorite and staple dish on the summer dining menu. It’s rather simple, fresh asparagus – I found these beautiful purple stalks in the Pike Place Market, fresh morel mushrooms, spring onion, and fresh peas. Ingredients 1 bunch fresh asparagus peeled 1 spring onion…

Grilled Corn Greek Salad 🌽
This super simple salad has become one of my favorites of this 2022 summer. It’s easy to make, packs some complex flavors together, and I think the charred corn with the reserve sherry vinegar add just enough “Je ne sais quoi” to really make this salad pop! Ingredients 6 ears of corn 2 English cucumbers…
Gazpacho 🍅
I love to cook seasonal foods, especially fresh produce from the Pike Place Market. This summer, I decided to make gazpacho. It has been about ten years since I last made this dish, and was excited to make it again and find a recipe I liked. I reviewed several recipes from NY Times Cooking, Cooks…

Prosciutto wrapped asparagus is one of my favorite dishes to serve, and eat, especially in summer. It’s a fun side, that one can eat with your fingers while grilling!

My mother would simply boil them or best case steam them – sadly for me, seasoning was a concept not yet discovered…

Uppy had a very large backyard garden in her post-WW2 house in Lakewood, WA. She grew so many fabulous things – I was amazed by the size and bounty of…
Grilled Green Beans
One of my favorite and easy sides is grilled green beans. I prefer the skinny French variety. Grilled with garlic, they make a great side dish, easy prep, and easy cleaning. I prefer to serve them with a bit of Sambal Oelek to add some spice and heat. These go great with almost any grilled…
Harrisa and Honey Roasted Carrots and Parsnips
I love roasted vegetables, especially the less often consumed roots, such as parsnips, turnips, rutabagas, and other tubers. For this dish, I paired the sweetness of carrots with the bitterness of parsnips. If you cook much, you know that roasting most things, especially root vegetables imparts a nuttiness that becomes more savory and intense with…
