This beet salad is much more beautiful and appetizing than the stuff of my past and with this recipe, a tragic food memory has come full circle.

Meyer lemons are one of the heroes of citrus season, with their complex perfume and unique flavor. They’re just as good in savory recipes as they are in sweet ones.

“Mom, can you make me ratatouille? Just like this?” she says, shoving a phone in my face with a cartoon picture of plated food. “Um. Yeah. I can do that.” “Really?!” She’s beaming now. A welcome smile and infectious enthusiasm during C...
