Easy 5-Ingredient Hummus From Scratch

Dried chickpeas and baking soda are the keys to my simple hummus recipe that beats store bought hands down.

I love hummus.
And I have loved it since I first was introduced to it as a child.
My Mom loved Middle Eastern cuisine and would often order take-out stuffed grape leaves, kibbeh, hummus, and other Lebanese delicacies from the El Morocco restaurant that was a Worcester institution for decades.

Ice Cream-Custard

No-Churn Ice Cream with Caramel, Walnuts, and White Chocolate

This is one trend or hack that you are going to want to try because it works and it's delicious.

I'm such a cynic that normally when I see the words, "trend", "hack", or "viral" I just keep on scrolling. But lately, it seems that everywhere I turn, there's another recipe for no-churn ice cream.

Main Dishes

Maple Harissa Salmon Ginger Lime Rice Bowl

Salmon rice bowls are not only nutritious and filling, they come together quickly.

We all have our go-to quick and easy dinner that we rely on when we're rushed or feeling uninspired. This is mine.

Salads-Sides

Shake and Bake English Roasted Potatoes

I tried this method for roasting potatoes and I will never roast them any other way.

English Roasted Potatoes (also sometimes called British Roast Potatoes) require a traditional way of roasting potatoes that results in a super crunchy shell encasing a soft, fluffy interior.

Salads-Sides

Avocado, Goat Cheese, and Pecan Arugula Salad with Cherry Dressing

This salad is hearty enough on its own to serve as a light dinner in the early summer when cherries are in season, but you can add some grilled chicken or pork on top if you want more protein.

When I first started working on my second cookbook, In Season, I knew I would have to include a salad chapter since the book was celebrating fresh, seasonal ingredients. And what better way to highlight lots of fresh produce than a salad?

Scandinavian Vanilla Sugar

Homemade vanilla sugar is a staple in Scandinavian kitchens.

As an American, you might not be familiar with vanilla sugar, but it's a very common ingredient in Scandinavian baking.

Pasta

8-Minute Egg Ramen Bowls with Chili Crisp and Soy Glaze

This is my go-to dinner when I'm short on time... or eating by myself.

I love a good ramen bowl. I make them with salmon, all kinds of vegetables... but when I'm eating alone or in a hurry (or the pantry is mostly bare!), this scaled down version is still delicious, filling, and nutritious.

Breads Brunch

Popovers With Ginger Pear Butter and Cardamom Sugar

Ginger pear butter to spoon over these popovers makes them extra special - and the perfect winter brunch menu item.

Popovers are easier to make than you might think. All you really need is a popover pan, and then your basic baking ingredients - flour, butter, sugar, milk, and of course eggs.

Brunch Cakes-Cupcakes

Blueberry Cardamom Streusel Muffins

Blueberry cardamom streusel muffins are the perfect morning treat.

Wild Maine blueberries are the best for making cupcakes, muffins and pancakes. They're smaller than regular high bush berries and pack a concentrated punch of flavor in each bite.

"In Season is right in line with how I love to cook and eat."

-Rocco DiSpirito, James Beard award-winning chef, television personality, and author of Everyday Delicious

"I’ve been following @fresheggsdaily for years, and I’ve always loved how Lisa shares her day-to-day life in such a real, sweet, and calming way. Her chickens, her garden, her kitchen, it’s all just so warm and inviting. Her new cookbook In Season feels exactly like that. It’s full of recipes that celebrate the kind of food I love to cook: simple, seasonal, with great ingredients. As a chef, I appreciate how much thought and care went into every dish. But more than that, it’s a reminder that great food doesn’t have to be complicated, it just has to be made with care and meant to be shared with your loved ones."

"As a fellow cookbook author, I appreciate that Lisa brings her signature expertise and warmth to In Season. She is the queen of backyard flocks - raising chickens, ducks, and geese for eggs - and kicks off her second beautiful cookbook with approachable techniques for cooking eggs that even seasoned cooks will appreciate. From there In Season is a true reflection of the cook behind it, as Lisa brings her practical, warm, and elegant take on seasonal cooking, and fresh ingredients come to life in the recipes. As someone who values seasonal cooking and thoughtful recipes, I loved every page. This is the kind of cookbook you’ll keep on your counter and reach for all year long."

The recipes, whether containing eggs or not, are simple in the best way, allowing us to focus on and connect with the beauty of ingredients in their natural seasons and see what a difference that makes (in price and flavor!). Lisa’s stories are peppered with funny- and totally relatable - anecdotes, experiences and observations from her time experiencing the wide world of food and with family at home in rural Maine.
