I first learned about Pamela Salzman from Jenni Kayne's lovely blog, Rip + Tan. She cooks the way I like to cook and I certainly share her philosophy. "Eat as many whole foods as possible, cook as much as possible to control what goes into your food and to impart your loving energy into the food you serve, eat seasonally, shop locally and listen to your body." You can read more about her here.
I am cooking more and more from her site and her recipes are always easy and delicious. A few favorites...
Thai Coconut Chicken Soup (My new go to chicken soup when anyone in our house in under the weather. Seriously good and full of the magic that is ginger.)
Kale Salad with Citrus Dressing
