The author was on the Sporkful in the spring and it was a fun episode.

As a litigator who spends way too much of her time begging her friends not to whine about jury duty, Claire’s delight fills me with great joy. Also, I cannot wait to try these recipes!

I've made that carrot dip, and it is so so good, intense, and sweet, and the best kind of carroty. I agree it would be incredible on like a crunchy veg sandwich, maybe some cream cheese spread on the other side, some lightly salted cukes and some summer lettuces. Mmmmm.

Thanks for the heads up on Jenny Slate - snagged a couple tix this morning!

I’m in it for dips, too! I love to make a garlicky-herby white bean dip. In Sami Tamimi’s cookbook Falastin, there’s an amazing beet-sweet potato-date dip with labneh, bulgur, herbs - it’s quite a delicious recipe with fresh pita to dip. Also, Georgian cuisine is full of vegetable & walnut based spreads, which I make along with Georgian breads (Khachapuri) when I have lots of kitchen playing time. Yum!!!

What I love most about this is the suggested carb pairings! This is the level of detail I need in my life.

Don’t apologize about the dip segment title, I loved it and got that little ditty stuck in my head for a fun bit. Brought a big smile. Excited to try some of these dips over the 4th of July! Hope the crowning went well and soft foods are comforting you through.
