What Is Cashew Cream Sauce? Cashew cream sauce is a workhorse. You make it by soaking cashews, then blending them with just a bit of water – this turns into the most luscious sauce. A big challenge with vegan recipes is finding ways to replace the creaminess of dairy, and this sauce really does the trick. The trick for this sauce is to use raw, unsalted cashews. I’ve found the raw cashews are the easiest to break down and form into the creamiest sauce....

My problem, though, was that I often disliked eating the same dish multiple times. But there was one dish I never got sick of which was Matar Paneer. It didn’t matter whether my mom made it or it came from our local restaurant—I always looked forward to eating the tangy, spiced tomato gravy paired with creamy paneer. During the pandemic, I ordered Matar Paneer from our favorite Indian restaurant one too many times before I decided I should try my hand at recreating the dish....

And they’re right. Bitter greens especially—kale, collard greens, mustard greens, etc. They’re good for you, packed with vitamins, and they help digestion.

But you can also use nuts to provide balance. With this simple and easy side of sautéed kale I’ve added toasted cashews....

Why “hunter” style? One story is that if a hunter came home empty-handed, his wife would kill a chicken for the meal instead. When I first experimented with this recipe, I made it without mushrooms or bell peppers, which are often included in chicken cacciatore. Since then, I’ve come to enjoy the dish with mushrooms and bell peppers so have updated the recipe to reflect those additions. If you prefer it without one or both of these ingredients, please feel free to leave them out....

Growing up, my mother made tostadas or tacos for us at least once a month, the main difference being that tostadas are flat, crispy, and layered with beans, and tacos are folded and usually without beans. This food is kid heaven — messy, choose your own topping, and incredibly tasty. This month we found a recipe in Fine Cooking for Smoky Refried Bean Tostadas. This recipe called for a slightly different approach to the beans — they suggested adding cumin and Chipotle Tabasco sauce....
