Dairy Free Baked Crab Dip

This one is a little indulgent, but it’s dairy-free and lick the bowl good. Lightly spiced, sweet crab meat folded into a creamy, cheesy mixture and baked to perfection. Enjoy this dip with chips, on toast, or try crudités for a healthier option.

This flavorful recipe combines saffron and basmati rice with fresh crab and garlic-sautéed asparagus for a savory, Middle Eastern dish. I’ve loved “yellow rice” since I was a kid, but this is leveled up. It’s elegant, extremely easy to make, and on the table in less than 30 minutes.

My go-to at any California sushi restaurant, but living in London, you just cannot find this dish anywhere. Decided to try it myself and discovered it’s surprisingly easy to make! The rice takes a bit of work, but it’s worth it for the most delicious, creamy, spicy, crispy, LITERALLY restaurant quality appetizer.

Wild Garlic Risotto

Blanched and puréed wild garlic leaves give this creamy risotto a vibrant green color and infuse it with the most delicate yet punchy flavor. Finished with vegan Parmesan cheese sauce, it’s my favorite recipe to make with this extra special ingredient. The wild garlic has a short season, so see recipe notes on how to freeze the purée for later use.
