Let’s get right down to it today. Why this recipe is Sarah-approved & so very awesome? Let me count the ways: Seasonal– romaine lettuce & tomatoes are at peak season right now. That means great taste and cheaper prices too! Inexpensive- using good quality chicken as a topping instead of the main part of the […]

Some people travel and bring home cool trinkets, art, books or clothes. That’s really nice. And normal. Me, on the other hand. I bring home way too many pictures of what and where I ate. And drank. And the streets that I walked to get there. The classic and ultimate move of a food-dork. I’m […]

My food on Style Me Pretty!

I am over the moon. My food made it on the Style Me Pretty blog this week!  Who said food can’t look pretty & be pretty delicious {for you} at the same time?

Those Italians, they really have it down. Life, that is. After 2 weeks of bopping around, I’ve never felt more strongly about it. I checked a few places, just to be sure. Sardinia -> Corsica -> Florence -> Taromina, Sicily -> Rome, to be exact. From island to city to cliff dwelling life, it’s confirmed. […]

Sarah Adler cooks up one of her easy healthy meals while bantering with Chef Thierry Rauturau (of Rovers, Luc and Top Chef Masters) at The Bite of Seattle Cooks Competition, July 21, 2012

Sometimes being on the spot is a great thing. This summer, its been a great thing over here. For all of  us, really. That fact that 2 of my favorite summer dishes have come from client cooking sessions– in which I am showing a certain technique (usually how to make healthy “make ahead” dishes for […]

Sometimes inspiration for healthy dishes happen to me when I least expect it. Like in the middle of vacation. In Maui. In the middle of cocktails, in the middle of laying on the beach, in the middle of a great book. You never know. We had stopped at this roadside juice bar for a bite […]

Summer is officially here in Seattle. Well, for the week at least. Let us pretend. The season for boating, picnicing, fresh cocktails, and less time in the kitchen in general. In my kitchen, anyways. I, like many Seattlites, have the intense tendency to want to be outside at every possible moment when the weather is […]

My roasted red pepper harissa recipe for the Bite of Seattle Home Cooks Competition. It’s embarrassing to watch, but it paid off well– I won the contest and get to cook on the main stage at the Bite of Seattle this summer!

Maybe it’s the Mediterranean streak in my blood, but I am quite certain that I could eat a Greek salad every night of the week and be a very happy girl. Or, any Greek food for that matter. (Which is what I’ve been doing lately, if you really want to know). And then, one day, […]

A little snapshot of my day yesterday: Me and one of my favorite clients. Our assignment: a little Healthy Cooking 101- learning how to prepare quick, easy, and healthy meals for the week. The setting: 1 small Seattle kitchen, on a hazy June afternoon. 1 hour, 30 min on the clock. The timer dings. Done. […]
