The delicate flavor of cauliflower calls for added richness and a cheesy bread crumb topping is just the ticket. Add some prosciutto and smoked olive oil for the ultimate cheesy veggie dish.

The idea of vegetarian “steak” is appealing. Cauliflower has the shape and texture for a good starting point. Add meaty nuts, mushrooms and smokiness for a satisfying result.

Sometimes fresh fruits can be hard to come by in the Winter. You can preserve some for special occasions by freezing. When defrosted they will be broken down, but they still have great flavor and can be used in sauces and salsas. When you combine them with a matching fruit balsamic vinegar, the fruit flavors pop even more and you get that tangy bite for contrast that vinegar can add.

In this sample, we used fresh peaches and peach balsamic vinegar to make peach salsa. Strawberries also freeze well and can be used for this recipe too with white strawberry balsamic vinegar.

In summer this recipe can be used with fresh fruit too!

This recipe is full of zucchini and light on egg producing a fluffy but satisfying result. Tarragon is is known to pair well in tomato and egg dishes.

It adds a distinctive flavor easily achieved by the use of our tarragon infused olive oil.

Roasting vegetables can take a little longer but it is one of the best ways to bring out their best and ensure you are not draining away their health value in water. We love to roast veggies in ethnic spices, and here they are combined with Thai noodles for a side dish or main meal that you will go back to again and again.

Are you done with avocado toast? Frankly we don’t think we could ever be done with this “go-to” but maybe you can make it new again with a variety of roasted veggies.
