Recipes and Stories by Gena Hamshaw

  • Winter Salad with Bulgur, Radicchio, and Toasted Almonds

    The more limited produce offerings of colder months encourage me to get creative with salads. In place of fresh greens, I’ll often use a base of radicchio, chicory, endive, or even thinly shaved root vegetables. I brighten up dressings with citrus zest, parsley, or flavored oils and vinegars, which offer a nice contrast to the earthiness of winter vegetables. Walnut and hazelnut oil are my favorites: they’re pricey but intensely flavorful, so a small amount goes a long way.
  • Asparagus Quinoa Sushi Rolls

    Quinoa is a fun, flavorful, and gluten-free alternative to traditional brown rice in sushi rolls.
