Cantaloupe Salad with Cucumbers, Basil and Feta Cheese

This beautiful summer salad is an unexpected twist on a classic watermelon feta salad. Weiser Family Farms had the most amazing melon the other day, as well as some fantastic Puglia-style sweet cucumbers and the combination of the two together, with fresh basil and the strong Feta cheese made this dish one that will become a staple on my summer table.

Tofu Pizzaiola

I made this unbelievably good tofu on last week’s show; I was looking for ways to enjoy and want tofu, rather than endure it. For this has pretty much become my mission and philosophy with food: after years of eating nutrients, I want to eat food for the taste of it. So i always cook vegetables to be something I crave rather than something I have to eat because of whatever vitamin they have. This tofu is easy to make, quick, and truly a delicious entrée to serve over rice or, like we did, with a fresella or a good piece of bread and olive oil.
