Steps:

• On a cutting board, crush garlic clove, and sprinkle with salt. Using the back of your knife, smear garlic and salt into a rough paste, and transfer to a medium bowl. Whisk in vinegar, mirin, soy sauce, honey, and lemon juice. While whisking constantly, slowly drizzle in canola and sesame oils. Stir in sesame seeds. Season with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Bring a pot of water to a boil, and season generously with salt.
• In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, sesame oil, vinegar, ginger and garlic. Season with salt and pepper, and mix well.
• Once the water boils, cook the pasta according to package directions until al dente. Reserve 3/4 cup pasta cooking water, then drain. Transfer pasta to a large bowl. Add half the dressing and 1/4 cup pasta water, season with salt and pepper and toss to evenly coat.
• Meanwhile, in a large deep-sided saucepan, heat safflower oil over medium. Add onion and bell peppers, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until deep golden and tender, about 10 minutes. Add snap peas and cook, stirring occasionally, until crisp-tender, 2 minutes. Add tomatoes, 1/4 cup pasta water and the remaining dressing. Stir to deglaze the pan and lift the browned bits on the bottom of the skillet, then add vegetable mixture (with sauce) and scallions to pasta and toss until well combined (add more pasta water if thinner sauce is desired). Season with salt and pepper.
• Serve warm or at room temperature. Garnish with scallions and sesame seeds, if using.

Steps:

• For sesame clusters:
• Preheat oven to 350°F. Whisk egg white in a small bowl until slightly foamy; whisk in sugar, salt, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg. Add sesame seeds and toss to coat.
• Spoon sesame mixture in clumps on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, 10-12 minutes. Let cool.
• DO AHEAD: Sesame clusters can be made 1 week ahead. Store airtight at room temperature.
• For dressing and salad:
• Heat oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add chopped fennel, shallot, ginger, and fennel seeds and cook, stirring often, until tender (do not let brown), 8-10 minutes. Mix in vinegar and honey. Let cool; season with salt and pepper.
• Finely grate 1 teaspoon zest from 1 orange; set aside. Using a sharp knife, cut all peel and white pith from all oranges; discard. Cut between membranes to release segments into a medium bowl; discard membranes.
• Toss greens, parsley, fennel fronds, oranges, and dressing in a large bowl. Serve topped with sesame clusters and reserved orange zest.
• DO AHEAD: Dressing can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill.

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler. Place the red peppers on a foil lined baking sheet.
• Place the red peppers under the boiler. Turning every 2 to 3 minutes cook the peppers until the skin is blistered, about 8 to 9 minutes total. Place the blistered peppers in a plastic bag. Seal the bag and allow the peppers to sit for 10 minutes to allow the skin to separate and to let cool.
• Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the potatoes and cook until tender, about 10 to 12 minutes. Remove the potatoes to a cutting board. Add the green beans to the pot. Cook the green beans until tender, about 3 minutes. Remove the green beans to a large bowl. Slice the potatoes in half while still warm and combine them with the green beans in the large bowl. Remove the peppers from the plastic bag. Peel off the skin from the peppers. Slice the pepper flesh into wide strips and remove the seeds and veins. Place them in the bowl with the potatoes. Add the scallions, parsley, and garlic
• and toss to combine.
• In a small bowl combine the oregano, lemon juice and zest, and white wine vinegar. Whisk in the olive oil. Stir in the salt and pepper. Toss the warm vegetables with the herb vinaigrette. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Arrange the asparagus, tomatoes, carrot rounds and fennel chunks in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Drizzle the vegetables with olive oil, salt and the pepper. Using your hands, toss the vegetables to evenly coat. Roast in the oven for 15 minutes. Place the spinach leaves in a large bowl. Immediately stir the hot roasted vegetables into the spinach to wilt the spinach slightly. To prepare the dressing, in a small bowl whisk together the lemon juice, oils and soy sauce until well combined and slightly thickened. Stir in the ginger, shallot, honey, salt pepper and sesame seeds. Pour the dressing over the vegetables in the bowl and gently toss to coat. Evenly divide the salad onto serving plates and garnish if desired with the reserved fennel fronds.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F.
• Cut the peppers and discard the seeds.
• Halve the eggplants lengthwise and cut each into thick slices.
• Slice the onions into thin rounds.
• Place the laved peppers, eggplants and onions in a large roasting tin.
• Add olive oil, thyme, garlic, salt and pepper and combine well.
• Bake for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pepper skins are beginning to blacken.
• Meanwhile, quarter the plum tomatoes.
• Add the plum tomatoes and the goat cheese.
• Toss the vegetables and return to the oven for 10-15 minutes more.
• Remove the vegetables with a slotted spoon to a serving platter and keep warm.
• Drain any remaining juices into a saucepan and add the balsamic vinegar and lemon juice. Bring to a boil and boil for 1 minute.
• Cool slightly and add the basil.
• Place roasted vegetables on warm plates and spoon warm dressing over.
• Garnish with thyme sprigs.

Steps:

• In a serving bowl, combine the cucumber, green pepper and tomatoes. Sprinkle with salt and celery seed. In a small bowl, whisk oil and vinegar. Pour over salad.; toss to coat.

Steps:

• Combine garlic, shallot, shoyu, vinegars, miso and sugar in a blender and blend on high speed until homogenous. (Alternatively, mash garlic and shallots in the bowl of a large granite or marble mortar and pestle into a fine paste using the pestle, then stir in the shoyu, vinegars, miso and sugar.)
• With the blender running on medium speed (the liquid should form a vortex but not jump up and splatter on the walls of the blender), slowly drizzle in the grapeseed oil. (If using a mortar and pestle, slowly drizzle in the oil as you stir vigorously with the pestle.)
• Transfer to a lidded jar. Stir in the sesame oil and sesame seeds with a spoon. Dressing can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks. Shake well before using.
