Scandinavian chef Trina Hahnemann takes all our cold-weather favorites (think celeriac, parsnips, greens and barley) and combines them into one exquisite soup. It’s excellent as a starter, but could also work as a lighter main course.

Twice-Cooked Broccoli with Hazelnuts and Garlic

Go to Recipe

This veggie side dish gets a double dose of nutty flavor from toasted hazelnuts and hazelnut oil. And cooking the broccoli twice (steaming and sautéing) means it’s perfectly tender on the inside and perfectly browned on the outside.

Braised Baby Artichokes with Tomato Coulis

Go to Recipe

Let yourself be whisked away to the South of France with this Provençal dish, also known as artichokes barigoule. Its fragrant herbs and spices make it compelling enough to eat on its own, but it also makes a stunning side dish.
