If you’ve read a few of my recipes by now, you may have noticed that most of them aren’t really too complicated. Often, the dishes that I make don’t contain many ingredients.

Roasting is my favorite trick when it comes to vegetable preparation. First, the time and effort required is minimal – what could be easier than drizzling a little olive oil and sticking your pan in the oven to do its thing? Second, the high heat makes for incredible caramelization and an amazing richness of flavor. … More Cheesy Roasted Broccoli

I love a dish that’s refined, yet utterly simple, too. A plate of delicious burrata, a fancy shrimp cocktail, and the most perfect flourless chocolate torte are all examples of this effortless sophistication.
