Cauliflower Chowder

Reshape

VEG

This recipe was inspired by a dairy-filled classic, but my goal was to reimagine it into something more nourishing — packed with anti inflammatory ingredients, bold flavor, and the same rich, satisfying texture as its traditional counterpart. It was created for the very first Inner Table, an intentional supper club where people gathered around the table to share conversation, foster connection, and build community through food and presence.

Roasted Jalapeño Hummus

Reshape

VEG

Inspired by the spicy jalapeño hummus from Trader Joe’s, this homemade version was created for The Inner Table as a vibrant, flavor-packed dish meant for gathering and sharing. Garbanzo beans provide fiber and plant-based protein, while extra virgin olive oil and cilantro deliver antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits. Roasted jalapeño adds smoky heat and depth, creating a hummus that feels bold, nourishing, and perfect for meaningful moments around the table.
