Arugula and Orange Salad

Arugula is an interesting green and yummy green, yet sometimes people do not know what to do with it.

I made this Arugula and Orange salad for one of my clients and she loved it so much so is having me make it for one of her upcoming soirees. It is a great salad, packed with flavor and can be served up beside all of kosher soul food fixins.

Nosh on,

What's Goin' On

Where oh where did the summer go? It's almost over..oy vey!

I am excited to say that I have an editor for the book that I am writing "Kosher Soul Gourmet", now I just have to finish. The book is moving along...

Since I have been started the cooking demos in Harlem, I have been getting rave reviews on the salads that I have been making during the demos. The kids that try samples are loving the salads and if I can please kids I must be on to something! I am going to put all of my soul filled salad recipes from the summer into the KSG book (though I will post a salad recipe every once in awhile) and the rest of the recipes will be put into a free e-book just for you. The recipes are so easy and delicious, trust...

If you will be in Harlem on Saturday, stop by the Grassroot Farmer's Market (on 145th and Edgecomb). I think that I will be making quesadillas with tortillas made from Hot Bread Kitchen this week. FYI: Hot Bread Kitchen is more than a bakery. It's a business that enhances the future for immigrant women and preserves baking traditions. (www.hotbreadkitchen.org). The bakery also sells their luscious breads at the market each week.

Peace,love, and soul,
