Pesto, Potatoes & Burrata
Basil & ramp pesto, roasted paper-thin potatoes, fresh burrata, fried red chiles & ramps, lemon zest, za'atar, watercress It's ramp season, baby! I don't care that they are no longer the trendy allium of the moment (nor do I know what is, that is a very specific category), I will always get excited about ramps being around. Part of it is that they seem to pop up for such a short time, so—like quince, blood oranges, Meyer lemons—I feel a sense of urgency to buy and use all of

Cauliflower, Dates & Tahini
Spicy roasted cauliflower, shredded rainbow carrots, tahini lemon dressing, toasted pine nuts, dates, dried apricots, grated pecorino romano cheese, fresh parsley & mint It has been the coldest, grossest April of—I assume—all time, so this pizza was a sort of sad (albeit very delicious) attempt to transport ourselves to some warmer Middle Eastern or North African climate instead of trying to use fresh spring produce when it is, for some reason, still winter. Vegetables + tahi

Roasted Broccoli & Apple-Cranberry Sauce
Roasted garlicky broccoli, lemon-poppyseed dressing (with Greek yogurt, agave & orange zest), spiced cranberry-apple sauce, red onion, almonds, sunflower seeds, chili flakes & grated manchego Cranberry sauce is something I love eating and making, but really only have this time of year. And since we usually only get one (okay, maybe 2-3) Thanksgiving dinner, we wanted to try and find other ways to use this deliciously tart and sweet compote. As it turns out, cranberry sauce is

Brussels Sprouts, Apples & Blood Oranges
Brussels sprouts & apples two ways (sautéed & fresh), whole grain mustard, blood oranges, lemon zest, dried cranberries, toasted almonds & pine nuts, scallions, cheddar & grated pecorino romano Okay sure, we did Brussels sprouts and oranges two pizzas ago. But this one is different? For one, these are BLOOD oranges. They are a totally different color! And we have apples and mustard this time! But for real, this is basically an early spring version of that winter salad pizza,

Roasted Broccoli & Charred Lemons
Roasted broccoli, walnut pesto, pecorino cheese, charred lemons, crispy chickpeas & toasted breadcrumbs We've been on a real lemon kick lately. If you can find Meyer lemons, those are ideal for eating whole slices, but charring them makes even regular lemons caramelized and smoky enough to eat in thin slices like this. Also, I have to admit that until pretty recently, I was not a fan of broccoli. Adam has been trying to convert me for a while, and it finally seems to have stu

Winter Citrus Salad & Green Harissa
Green harissa (with jalapeño & cilantro), Brussels sprouts two ways (fresh & sautéed), orange slices, poppy seed vinaigrette, Greek yogurt, Parmesan, pine nuts & nigella seeds This salad-turned-pizza is a great way to turn wintry ingredients into a light, fresh & bright meal, especially when everything else around this time of year feels heavy and hearty. I love anything citrusy this time of year, and pairing it with a bunch of greens, a little spice and some smooth Greek yog

Mushroom & Daikon Stir Fry Pizza
Spicy sesame stir fry with nameko mushrooms, purple daikon, Swiss chard, sesame seeds, cashew-cilantro drizzle, Parmesan The great thing about a stir fry is that you can easily make a lot of substitutions, based on what you have lying around, what you can find at the market and/or what's in season. We found some seasonal ingredients at our local farmers' market that go well with Asian flavors: nameko mushrooms, which are slightly nutty and have a shiny amber look, and purple

Chanterelles, Tomatoes & Garlic Scapes
Oven-roasted cherry tomatoes & chanterelle mushrooms, garlic scape pesto with walnuts & Parmesan cheese, fresh feta cheese, toasted pine nuts Garlic scapes are such a great find this time of year. They make you feel like you went out and foraged for wild garlic even when you just walked down the street to the farmers' market. They're also super versatile and they go great with our chanterelle mushrooms (also a great find that we wished we had foraged for). You can, of course,

Matcha Pesto & Radishes
Matcha & Parmesan pesto, goat cheese, roasted kohlrabi with kelp chili salt, fresh radishes, hazelnuts I love the combination of roasting the kohlrabi and keeping the radishes fresh on this pizza. Roasting brings out the mild, sweeter flavors of the kohlrabi, which is a great contrast with the sharp bite and crunch of the fresh radish slices. As for the pesto—matcha is super good for you, but flavor-wise, it's not for everyone. This pesto uses just a hint of it (though feel f

Apricots, Cherries & Microgreens
Apricots, cherries, ricotta, microgreens, nectarine-balsamic vinaigrette, toasted macadamia nuts, grated Sapore del Piave cheese Fresh apricots are such a treat. They seem to only be around for a short period of time in the summer—and sometimes, if you're lucky and depending on where you live, in the spring—so you have to snatch them up while you can. Put them in salads, grill them, eat them with ice cream. And of course, their tart sweetness and thin rinds go beautifully on
