So I realize not everyone has access to sweet potato leaves, BUT, if you do - consider yourself extremely lucky! If you can’t snag a bunch of these leaves - this recipe is also delicious with any hardy greens you have on hand—try this with kale, spinach, or any asian greens.

Kind of fun to eat in a group - because you get to watch and wait for someone to get the hot one. I feel like 1-in-6 are hot, while the others are completely mellow. This is quick and delicious.

Use this salad as a bright explosion of flavor to contrast more hearty ingredients. Turn to these when you are feasting on roasted meats, kebabs, sandwiches, or grilled veggies for that extra zippy pizazz.

All the recipes that claim to have a shortcut to making these deliciously addictive flavor bombs will produce a subpar result. They might get you through in a pinch, but if you want the real thing, it will take putting in the time. It’s worth it.

I have never had a blooming onion until last night - but let me tell you, not only is it stunning on the table, but it is delicious to boot. I now understand all of the hype. The process is actually quite easy to make and it is completely manageable in a home kitchen.

These are simply divine.

Crunchy with a soft interior. The key here is to leave it undisturbed while cooking. I know it’s hard. Trust the process and just leave it be.

The great thing about this recipe is it is so versatile. You can do this with the longer skinner eggplant (halved longways), or with the more round eggplant (just slice them into rounds). Comes together in a flash and is always a crowd pleaser.

Salty and crunchy on the outside, gooey and flavorful on the inside - these eggplants are sure to impress.
