Istarted with well-toasted seeded bread, the base of all good things, which I spread with a thick layer of super smooth hummus. And not just any hummus, friends, this stuff was laced with roasted sweet potatoes, smoked paprika, and plenty of fresh lemon juice. That dreaminess got topped with a heap of lightly browned, shaved Brussels sprouts and sprinkled generously with creamy goat cheese. The whole thing was richly textured, flavor-packed and nourishing, and it looked and tasted so fancy that I felt compelled to call it a tartine.

-Give them a stir, and continue cooking for another 2 minutes or so. If they start to get to brown, turn the heat down a little bit. Add the olive oil, crushed red pepper and a generous pinch of salt and cook for 1 minute. Remove from the heat and set aside.


Lunch on Monday was pretty great, and dead simple. I smeared avocado across toasted, day-old slabs of sesame bread, and started by layering a bit of arugula on top. Added a few stalks of garlicky caraway-sprinkled asparagus beyond that, and the final touch? A few toasted pepitas. Caraway is under-utilized, and I love it's distinctive earthiness here playing off the bright green asparagus notes.





When you're buying asparagus, whether it's thick or thin, look for vibrant, green asparagus, with structured stalks. No soft spots, or droopiness.


These little open-faced tartines took less than ten minutes to pull together, and ended up being the epitome of spring. You can also cut each one into 4 or 5 pieces, in triangles, for little party / get-together bites.


I love asparagus, and I am (im)patiently waiting for them to hit the stores here in Poland- where only seasonal fruits and veggies are available to buy. The second I can get my hands on some, I am making these!


I have been an organic vegetable farmer since I was 17, and I am ashamed to say I am only now seeing what gold (in veggie form) has been at my fingertips for the past 5 years, free for the taking. Lately I have been in a mad search of recipes and information, and your site has by far yielded the best results for my time! Thank you muchly.


You have tirelessly inspired so many of us from close and afar already, I cannot possibly imagine what more could be in store. And the ladies who inspire you, who could they possibly be?

Your site is so much more than meticulous recipe instructions for soulful food. It is about the poetry of your eye, food, dedication and lifestyle, and how it translates to others.

Since knowing of your site in particular, I try more persistently in my own small ways to infuse my plates and days with my own brand of poetry. You have not only raised the bar for many of us, you have demonstrated time and time again that it is possible and given us the opportunity to gawk at your exemplary work. A big Thank You!


Hey me too I am in a rabbit hole AND I happen to have avocado and asparagus from last night. Done!

PS: you are not going to put that out there and then not even give the slightest hint of what you are doing, are you?!


i was so focused on putting together your recipe for saag paneer that I fogot to take the asparagus off the hot stove even though I turned off the flame. when I tended to the asparagus they were no longer standing. I pureed them and put them in the fridge. I always have avacados on hand, so this is our yummy lunch for tomorrow.! I had a few misses when I began using your recipes, but lately everything is delicious. thanks for sharing your cooking experiences with us!
