Sometimes you just need to eat a salad for dinner, and this one also works well for a buffet or brunch. I love fresh fruit on salads, and the berries add layers of color and sweet-tart flavor. If you don’t have a trifle bowl around, any large, glass bowl will work to showcase the colors–or, [...]

Korma is one of my favorite winter foods, and there are dozens of variations on the sauce base–some use yogurt or cream, for instance. This is a dairy-free version that works well with any type of vegetables you [...]
