Baba Ganoush Toasts
Makes 2-3 cups

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Drizzle 1 whole eggplant with extra virgin olive oil and salt. Roast eggplant until tender and slightly browned. Cool slightly and then cut into 1” pieces and place in a food processor or blender.

To the blender add 2-3 cloves garlic, smashed along with salt (to taste), a splash or two of vinegar (about 3 tablespoons) and enough extra virgin olive oil to create a paste. If you’re watching your oil intake, feel free to use water or a combination of water and olive oil.

Spread on toast and garnish with celery leaves.

Cutting Board // $50

I have this cutting board at home and use it nonstop and more than any other board I have. There’s something about a square board that makes everything super clean and tight. As a young chef you’re taught to keep a clean workspace and this helps me mentally and physically do that.

Black Blouse // $98

Another shirt from Tuckernuck, my favorite. I love a flouncy black top that is breathable for the kitchen but chic enough for the table.

NutriBullet // $50

This is a simple, easier-to-take-out-of-closet option when the food processor seems bulky. It’s also really amazing for small kitchens, apartments or those cooking dorm rooms - I see you!
