Stewed Kale with Chicken and Parmigiano Rind

Nourishing, soulful, and rich with flavor, this one-pot wonder feels like a warm embrace in any season—be it a breezy spring gathering or a quiet, candlelit evening at home.
Tender kale weaves in bursts of vitamin C, golden beta-carotene, and gentle, plant-born calcium. Creamy cannellini beans bring their gifts of strength—fiber, protein, iron, and magnesium. And nestled in the simmering pot, a Parmigiano rind slowly melts its essence, lending a delicate saltiness and a whisper of umami that lingers like comfort long after the last bite.

 

Mushroom and Leek Galette

Inspired by the open-air markets of France, this Parmesan-crusted mushroom and leek galette captures rustic charm with a touch of elegance.
Each bite tells a story of golden pastry, savory warmth, and timeless simplicity. Serve it on its own or alongside a beautiful, garden-fresh salad for a meal that feels like a love letter to the French countryside.

Charred Japanese Eggplant with Turkish Spiced and Brown Butter Labneh and Roasted Tomatoes

A flavor-packed way to eat the rainbow!
Made with real ingredients and bold, nourishing flavors, this dish is as satisfying as it is colorful. Charring the eggplant brings a smoky richness, while Turkish spices add an earthy depth. Brown butter—also known as beurre noisette—infuses the labneh with a warm, nutty complexity. It's all finished with tangy pickled red onions and topped with sweet dates, dried apricots, and crunchy pine nuts for a vibrant explosion of texture and flavor.

Chicken and Kale Stew

I absolutely love this stew—it's the perfect comfort food for a chilly winter day. The added greens bring a refreshing brightness and a boost of nutrition to the dish. If kale isn’t your preference, collard greens make a great alternative. You can also toss in leftover romaine or iceberg lettuce at the last minute for an extra touch. Serve this hearty stew with warm garlic bread for dipping while you enjoy your favorite show. Bon appétit!
