Radish Ricotta Baguette with Fresh Herbs and Avocado

Our love affair…

Hearty potatoes and tender-crisp green beans in a fragrant, creamy Thai curry… this simple dish is so tasty you won’t believe it takes less than half an hour from pantry to table – or that it’s vegan and gluten free. Tasty it is. Authentic it is not. I know that. Please don’t yell at me…
Blueberry, Kale and Quinoa Salad
This has been our salad of the summer: simple and fresh but perfectly satisfying.
