Frozen scallops and thin white fish fillets are real time-savers for busy weeknights, as they thaw in a flash and take just minutes to cook.

Kabocha, also called Japanese pumpkin, has a delectably sweet, creamy flesh. Slow-roasting this squash really brings out maximum flavor. If kabocha is not available in your area, feel free to subsitute an equal weight of acorn squash.

end of cooking and add to the soup off the heat. By avoiding boiling the miso, you’ll preserve the beneficial enzymes 
and bacteria.

A hot bowl of stracciatella is the perfect antidote to a chill in the bones.
