Sick Day Soup aka Japanese Penicillin
On days when you are under the weather (what kind of euphemism is that, anyway) a bowl of chicken soup has long been the “cure”. Have you heard of “Jewish penicillin”? It’s chicken soup! In Japan miso soup is the restorative. We combined the two! Best of all worlds. Get the recipe.

Lemon Ginger Fermented Honey
There is a reason why I love making infused honey, and it isn’t just the process of letting the bees do all the work of collecting nectar from local blossoms and encasing it in a beautiful golden package. I also love how easy this honey, lemon, and ginger ferment is to make! Get the recipe for Lemon Ginger Fermented Honey.
Red Fermented Bean Curd
Fermented red bean curd (aka fermented red tofu) is tofu that has been preserved in salt, rice wine, red yeast rice, and spices. Not to be confused with white fermented tofu which has a slightly milder taste and is used more in sauces and condiments. Get the recipe for Red Fermented Bean Curd.
Warm Farro and Kale Salad with Orange Miso Dressing
Kale farro salad! Kale me crazy, but I think this simple farro salad may have made farro one of my new favorite grains. This simple salad really doesn’t have much of a recipe. Roast the sweet potatoes, cook the farro, then saute together. To make things easier, I’m using a bag of Trader Joe’s pre-washed, pre-cut Tuscan kale leaves. I love that stuff and it’s practically the same price as a bunch of kale, which isn’t always the case with convenience foods. Give it a try. Get the recipe for Warm Farro and Kale Salad with Orange Miso Dressing.
