Turmeric Fish with Dill & Mint This Vietnamese dish is everything I want as the weather warms up: it’s vibrant in color and flavor, quick to prepare and so, so good! Traditionally served over rice noodles, dipped in a lime-based dipping sauce before each bite, it can also be served over steamed rice, shaved cabbage (if you’re going the #grainfree route) or an abundance of vegetables.... We’re pairing it with a cucumber peanut salad for a meal that is zesty, refreshing and delicious for all. This is a #glutenfree menu and we can advise how to make it #vegetarian or #vegan I especially love teaching Vietnamese cuisine as it requires few ingredients to make something really delicious #firstclasscooking #dinnerinspo #cookathome #whattocook #sundaydinner #learntocook #warmweathermeals #springrecipes #herbsaplenty #zoomcookingclass #eaterSF #bestfoodSF #bayareaeats #teambuildingevents #familyfavorites #privatecookingclass #knifeskills #localseafood #sustainableseafood #healthydelicious #femalefounder #bayareaeats #eeeeeats #springfoods #fastdinner #vietnamesefood

Asparagus Season has arrived in California! Does it feel like you’re wasting a lot of good product when you follow the oft-repeated advice to snap the ends (guilty! I’ve shared it) ? Your instincts are right!... Rather than snapping, simply take a vegetable peeler to the bottom few inches to trim off the coarsest part. If the base of the stalk has faded to white, use a knife to trim off the bottom 1/4-inch As for preparation, I love to roast asparagus for about 14 minutes at 400 F/200 C Upcoming Asparagus Menus 3/24 Tropical Tastes incl Shaved Zucchini & Asparagus with lime and Citrus Ceviche 3/25 Celebrate Spring incl Asparagus w.
