Julia for President. And Salad.

Salad for President? Consider our ballot cast. Julia Sherman’s project is a love letter to the art of making a salad. Literally. What began as a blog that documents the creations of artists in the kitchen has evolved into a book that illustrates the connection between two of our favorite things: art and food. Read on for one of our favorite (though it was hard to choose) recipes from her book, and make sure to pick up a copy here. You’ll be happy you did.

“The Japanese believe Umeboshi plums possess magical healing powers, used to cure everything from ancient Samurai battle fatigue to the modern-day hangover. They are shockingly expensive, but a little of their super-concentrated, tart acidic flavor goes a long way.

When I buy [cashews](/content/products/activated-cashews "cashews"/index.html) for cooking, I always opt for the broken cashew pieces as opposed to whole nuts; they are less expensive and taste just as good. Black garlic is fermented, and has twice as many antioxidants as raw garlic; its flavor is much sweeter and more mild, kind of like garlic candy (in a good way). You can find this at your Asian grocer, but it is widely available in mid range supermarkets as well (they even sell it at Trader Joe’s). If you can’t find it, just substitute roasted garlic cloves and add a pinch of sugar.”
