I first made this recipe during a cold, wet March in Austin. The good news is, I happen to love soup and have an endless array of recipes to help us wait out these Austin-style cold fronts. My daughter Kate shared this recipe when she gifted me a jar of homemade harissa paste. While she hasn’t yet shared the harissa paste recipe (hmmmm), I have continued to make the soup with this ready-made blend from Vermont’s Teeny Tiny Spice company,…

Ingredients 3-4 narrow eggplants, sliced into ½-inch thick wheels (be sure to choose eggplants with shiny skin and that feel heavy for their size) Sunflower oil and olive oil…

My favorite restaurant in Cluj is Samsara. It is so good, it is nearly worth the three flights and layovers required, just for a meal! Although everything is delicious, I was especially intrigued by their raw tabbouleh. I took a photo and made note of the ingredients while enjoying each bite, vowing to make it at home. This week, when I hosted three brilliant women for an afternoon idea exchange, I had the perfect opportunity to recreate it. Naturally, I…
