Some things I've enjoyed cooking lately: Ginger Coconut Milk Soup and Orzo Super Salad, both from Heidi Swanson; and Smoked Salmon Nori Rolls from Rebecca Katz's The Longevity Kitchen, which I recently purchased (but you can find the recipe here).

The journey of some chives, and their blossoms.

The idea of authenticity has been on my mind a lot lately.
