Caponata is a sicilian dish involving eggplant, onion, garlic, celery, olive, caper, raisins, red sauce, vinegar. It's really good. I've made it replacing the celery with Napa Cabbage. You can also replace the eggplant, I've done it with Orange Cauliflower a few times lately and that is great, too

This chicken dish is from the cookbook Istanbul and Beyond, super good
I am in a 3BR place and currently have 2 visiting students from France in the extra bedrooms, Thibault made crepes one night, we had a savory one (ham, onion, red sauce, egg) and then a desert one (butter, hot cocoa mix). Super good.

roasted sweet potatoes: garnet yams, molokai purple, served with harissa dipping sauce, I should put the recipe for it on the blog, killer, from Chez Panisse Cafe cookbookstrawberries, whipped cream, on Tassajara bread book gingerbread
pizzas at Steph and Erik's new house. I made Einkorn, kamut, whole wheat doughs, 2 pizzas from each. All sorts of toppings from green tomatoes with cheddar, red sauce with standard toppings. Last one was a dessert one with peaches.
Added spelt flour to the mix, so now I have 4 whole grain wheat flours
Not pictured but other recent foods I've enjoyed recently:
Oats with black pepper, turmeric, ginger, cinammon and miso! Generally oat groats. Turmeric is super good for you, and black pepper helps you get all the benefits. The miso and oats idea is from a Heidi Swanson cookbook
fermented polenta (polenta, water, salt, either yogurt whey or sauerkraut brine, let that sit 3 days before you cook it, helps with digesting corn, tastes good
chickpea flour polenta
maccu. sicilian fava bean puree
