Simply Recipes / Alexandra Shytsman The cooking technique known as “melting”—as in melting cabbage, melting onions, and more—is an impressive way to cook both summer and winter vegetables. Originating from the classic French potato dish “pommes de terre fondantes” (aka fondant or “melting” potatoes), the two-step technique can be applied to loads of different veggies. To “melt” a vegetable, first, you sear it on high heat (either on the stove or in the oven) until it is deeply caramelized.

Simply Recipes / Alexandra Shytsman Orzo—the elongated rice-shaped pasta—has quickly become one of my go-to cupboard staples. It’s quick-cooking, can be paired with many different flavors, and takes on a cozy, creamy texture when simmered. All of these factors make it an ideal stand-in for rice in “orzotto.” While in Northern Italy, orzotto refers to risotto made with pearled barley instead of Arborio or Carnaroli rice.

But mustardâwhich is tangy, earthy, occasionally spicy, and sometimes bitterâactually has bags of potential as a cooking ingredient, and thatâs why it features in several delicious vegan recipes. Check out a few of our favorites below. Is mustard vegan?

I practically live on soup in the winter. Obviously there is the whole comfort food factor, and also the “warm yourself from the inside out” thing. But the other consideration is that, frankly, I can be a bit lazy in the kitchen in the wintertime. On days when I’m not developing recipes for work, I love to lean on big-batch cooking and leftovers, and soup is the obvious choice. Basically, I want to cook once, then have something ready in the fridge for the next couple of meals.

If there is one item I have to say my cupboard feels empty without, it would be canned legumes. For plant-based cooks like me, canned beans and chickpeas are a go-to starting point for countless quick and nutrient-dense meals. I particularly love a bean recipe that requires zero actual cooking, like this curried chickpea salad. Here, lightly mashed canned chickpeas are spruced up with a handful of flavorful ingredients, including yellow curry powder, shallots, golden raisins, and (of course) mayo.

Deeply roasted Brussels sprouts are one of my favorite side dishes. It’s a technique I’ve been experimenting with for years—trying different oven temperatures, playing around with seasonings, and so on. To me, the perfect Brussels sprout is charred on the outside, has some bite on the inside, and is coated in something super flavorful. Brussels sprouts are naturally a bit bitter, so pairing them with sweet and tangy flavors works particularly well.
