Simple Shepherd's Salad is another book-inspired recipe for The Jinn Daughter.
This classic Mediterranean/Middle Eastern side dish pairs super well with my Mushroom Shawarma Grain Bowls, and is a more traditional version of my Chickpea Shepherd's Salad.

The reason I love Simple Shepherd's Salad is right in the name: it's simple.
This crisp, refreshing dish involves just a few ingredients: tomatoes,...
Mushroom Shawarma Grain Bowls are da bomb.

No?

We're keeping it short n' sweet with this Simple Tomato, Corn, and Torn Basil Salad, Tartlets.
As you saw earlier this week, this salad was served up with my Grilled Rosemary Balsamic Steaks. This side dish is another Old Country book-inspired recipe that pays homage to cooking with fresh, homegrown ingredients.

I've been making Black Bean Burgers for years now, and I didn't think I could love them any more.
Then, I put Peach Guacamole on them. **mindblown**
Prepare yourself, Tartlets, because you're never going to look at burgers the same way again.
WTF? Peaches in guacamole???
The first time I had fruity guacamole was at a Mexican restaurant called Toloache in midtown Manhattan. The guac contained pomegranate, not peach, but it blew my mind....
You guys, I am SO EXCITED to be sharing one of my favorite recipes with you today: Quick Chickpea Curry! Who else loves a good hot lunch? (Did anyone else read the words "hot lunch" and have a flashback to lining up in their elementary school cafeteria? You are my people.)

Get ready to be amazed, Tartlets. Making Chocolate Orange Truffles is way easier than I ever thought...
Freshen up your summer with Arugula Salad with Watermelon and Feta! Honestly, summers are made for salads. Mr Tart and I practically live on them during the hot, humid months.

Why is Arugula Salad with Watermelon and Feta the book-inspired recipe for The...
Creamy Pesto Pasta is another book-inspired recipe that was in the works long before I had a book to pair with it. Creamy pesto sauce, IMHO, is so much better than regular ol' pesto sauce. My favorite local Italian restuarant makes a version that's literally had me licking the bowl after I'd wolfed down all the pasta. ' Why is Creamy Pesto Pasta the book-inspired recipe for In Five Years? I've been angling to make my own version of Creamy...

I never thought I could love a meatless burger so dang much. These Chickpea Burgers with Mint Tahini Carrot Slaw have stolen my heart. But, in the words of Chandler Bing: Could the name of this dish BE any longer?!? Sheesh.
