I have officially dubbed this TOMATO SALAD WITH TOASTED ALMONDS AND DATES the salad of the summer! My summer, at least. And maybe yours too, once you try it.

The juicy ground pork and fragrant Chinese chives are such a classic combo for dumplings and always hits the spot! Plus I share my TWO SECRETS for perfect dumping filling in any dumpling recipe 🙌

Ketchup hits so many of our taste senses: sweet, tangy and umami. In Japanese SPAGHETTI NAPOLITAN (aka Japanese Ketchup Pasta), it is cooked with smokey bacon, earthy mushrooms, sweet bell peppers and onions in this unique pasta dish. Unique to the Western palate, I mean. This isn’t the ketchup pasta you give a picky toddler and it certainly isn’t a pasta you’ll find at an Italian restaurant. It sounds sacrilegious but don’t knock it til you try it!

This SIMPLE KALE AND SAUSAGE PASTA is a perfect back pocket recipe to make on busy weeknights, involving only 6 ingredients but always super tasty. My biggest tips for this dish is using quality sausages and taking the time to brown the tomato paste to max out its umami.
