White Bean Soup with Wild Mushrooms and Mascarpone Chives

This elegant soup is really just a simple purée of white beans, but top it with some earthy sautéed wild mushrooms and a dollop of herbed mascarpone cheese, and it becomes a refined first course. The trick to getting a smooth, silky texture is to purée the beans and vegetables with only a small amount of the cooking liquid first, and then to slowly pour in more liquid until you get a nice, creamy consistency.

Bagna Cauda Bruschetta

This sublime starter (pronounced bahn-yah kow-dah broo-skeh-tah) depends on the richness of extravirgin olive oil. The dish is based on the classic Northern Italian appetizer of warm olive oil, anchovies, and garlic that's usually served with vegetable dippers. Here, the potent dip is drizzled onto bread and then topped with a colorful mix of grilled vegetables. Although the fat percentage is high, it's much lower than what you will find in traditional versions of this specialty; it's also low in saturated fat.

Gnocchi with Squash and Sweet Corn

I am a self-declared pasta junkie (make that Italian food junkie), but have tendency to forget all about it during the warmer weather months. I often delegate these coveted carbs to fall and winter, when I am craving a hearty lasagna or a rich bolognese. I recently had an Aha! moment when I realized that fresh summer vegetables are just begging to be paired with pastas of all kinds—and not just in the obvious pasta salad. I know I am probably the last person to think of this, but surely better late than never.

Breakfast Grain Salad

The search for tasty, healthy breakfast dishes is a neverending quest. I am always looking for a breakfast that can be made ahead and munched on for several days, offering a tasty, easy meal each weekday morning. In the winter, my standby is my beloved steel-cut oatmeal, and sometimes, if I have extra time on the weekend, I'll make up a big pan of egg casserole with seasonal vegetables. But now, as the summer heats up, what to make? Here's my latest venture: A fluffy, tender grain salad with oats, quinoa, and millet, nutty with hazelnuts and bursting with blueberries.

Five Treasure Fried Rice

This recipe makes good use of leftover broccoli stalks, but its easily adaptable, so feel free to substitute other vegetables you might have in the fridge—asparagus, zucchini, peas, mushrooms, bok choy, bean sprouts, and jícama are all possibilities. The chewy brown rice has a nutty flavor, and you just can't argue with its antioxidant power and fiber. If you order the brown rice with Chinese takeout, bear in mind that the rice has to be well chilled so the starch hardens and becomes fry-able. Use fresh rice and you wind up with a gummy mess.

Baby Corn and Capsicum Rice (Tiffin Treats)

The Baby Corn and Capsicum Rice is so colourful that kids will immediately yearn to dig their spoons into the tiffin box when they see it! Not only is it visually appealing, but it appeases the appetite too as it contains a wholesome combination of rice and vegetables, flavoured excitingly with tangy tomato ketchup. This tiffin treat is very kid-friendly as it uses just a dash of pepper and chilli powder for spice, rather than chunks of ginger or green chillies that could bring tears to the young ones’ eyes! This lovely rice dish stays good for 4 to 5 hours, and can be carried for lunch by both kids and adults!
