Persimmon, Prosciutto and Pomegranate Salad

This salad is festive, seasonal and very simple to put together. The unique persimmon flavor is reminiscent of cantaloupe, mango and pumpkin and complements the peppery arugula and salty prosciutto. It is important to use Fuyus in this salad since... Continue reading

We found this salty-sweet gem of a recipe on Goop.com and we refer to it as poor man's (or busy woman's) caramel corn. It's no more difficult than popping corn on the stove top, and much less sticky and temperamental... Continue reading
