It’s Summer. Time to Think Fall. sent

Paul’s Favorite Veggie Recipes

I cook seven nights a week. I fall asleep at night thinking about the next day’s dinner. I’d rather be in the kitchen than just about anywhere else, unless of course my potatoes are ready to harvest. I focus on cuisines from all over the world, with a well stocked spice pantry that includes everything from Amchur to Za’atar.
