 1. ROASTED RED PEPPER HUMMUS, JARLSBERG CHEESE, CUCUMBER, BLACK PEPPER, SEA SALT. (Hard cheeses can go a long time without refrigeration.) Hello, friends! With the start of summer travels, I thought that I’d launch a series of posts about eating good, simple foods that travel well. It’s one of the greatest challenges of travel, isn’t... Kasey - May 30, 2012 - 10:39 am
I pretty much always travel with a bag lunch (in fact, I’ve got one packed for my trip to NYC today!). I’m always worried that cheese won’t travel well, but maybe I’m just misinformed! Love the strawberry + almond butter sando! Melissa // thefauxmartha - May 30, 2012 - 10:45 am
Love this series. We have been in and out of town the last couple months and our eating habits have gone way down the tube. We move in 4 weeks. I’m taking notes! Monique - May 30, 2012 - 10:56 am
Great suggestions! These are also great for camping :-) Sarah - May 30, 2012 - 10:57 am
LOVE this idea. Wonderful. I always try to bring food but it’s never enough, somehow. Camping is easier for me because there’s a fire/stove at the end of the day or in the morning. But on the road in the car? Difficult. Can’t wait to see more. R. E. Maley - May 30, 2012 - 11:09 am
Great series & first suggestions – and right as I’m preparing for an 8-week trip away from my kitchen & favorite food stores! Thanks a bunch. Melanie - May 30, 2012 - 11:16 am
What a great idea! I hear more and more people talking about bringing their own food on planes, rather than eating airplane food–if they even offer it! Healthier, you can eat what YOU like and better for jetlag. Win-win! Thanks for posting. Eileen - May 30, 2012 - 11:35 am
Oh, plane food is always crucial! We usually do nuts & dried fruit, baby carrots, and some sort of sandwiches–usually whatever’s in the fridge that will be sad and dead by the time we get back. Once I didn’t have time to make sandwiches, so I took half a loaf of bread, a jar of peanut butter, and a plastic knife instead. This worked fine on the outbound trip–but ont they way home, security confiscated my peanut butter for being a liquid! Peanut butter is not a liquid! In conclusion, make your sandwiches Before you go. kickpleat - May 30, 2012 - 11:35 am
I love the hummus/cuke sandwich for travels (never thought to add cheese – why not?!). And I love a grated or julienned carrot salad or cabbage slaw since those can last a while without refrigeration. Happy travels! sarah - May 30, 2012 - 11:59 am
I love this!! We always eat too much crap on the road. I have a terrible weakness for combos in gas stations [you can shake your head. I know]. We take several long car rides throughout the summer to visit family, and I am loving all your suggestions. noelle - May 30, 2012 - 12:14 pm
Homemade granola bars are my new favorite! They also make a good plane breakfast, in case cold greasy tofu + zucchini with lemon first thing in the morning isn’t your thing (a true story) lynda - May 30, 2012 - 12:15 pm
As a child, my family traveled (four kids and my parents) to the midwest every summer by car. My mom packed cucumber spears, oranges, watermelon and fried chicken for the ride. I think there peanut butter and jelly sandwiches were included on occasion. I look forward to trying your selections when I’m on the road again. Your blog is one of my favorites! thank you! Laura - May 30, 2012 - 12:29 pm
Loved peaking at this as I’m packing my bags for a flight to NY tomorrow. Good reminder to be prepared, always! Also, Justin’s nut butter packets are THE BOMB. They struck the creative genius gold mine with that one. Thanks! :) Tasha @ Stale Bread into French Toast - May 30, 2012 - 12:30 pm
What a good idea! I am starting to make my own granola bars as well. I’d love some more ideas for foods that travel well, especially those that can make it on a long road trip. ileana - May 30, 2012 - 1:01 pm
Great post! I’ve also taken to adding some sea salt to my peanut butter and fruit sandwiches. So good. Sharyn Dimmick - May 30, 2012 - 1:42 pm
Good idea to address this. I usually take almonds, dried fruit. For big trips I’ll get a deli sandwich from a good deli the day I go (or the night before). Sometimes I take carrots or an orange. cally - May 30, 2012 - 2:47 pm
Love your suggestions. I’m gluten/daity free so here’s what I take ( plus the usuals nuts and seeds) For snacking I love to have Scottish Oatcakes and a tub of hummus to dip them in, and if I have space in my bag, a tub full of cherry tomatoes to eat with each one. If I need a proper meal I do a tub of wheat free pasta with lots courgette/zucchini, green beans etc. in it which I make the night before (cause it tastes great a day later as a salad)) A thin coating of olive oil or pesto keeps it moist and tasty. As a sweet snack dark chocolate nibbled with fresh raw ginger (settles the tummy and helps avoid travel sickness). Because the flavours are strong it’s fairly easy not to over indulge.Plus if you have a bit of raw ginger it’s very fibrous, so chewing it helps with sore ears from air pressure. A bit of cinnamon bark is also good for having a chew on. Lisa - May 30, 2012 - 5:12 pm
My current favorite airplane food is bagels. I buy bagels the night before we travel (I live in NYC so great bagels are easy to come by). Then in the morning I make one everything bagel with cream cheese for my airport “breakfast” and one plain bagel with cheese for my “lunch” on the plane. (I bring a plain bagel on the plane so as no to subject my seat mates to the delicious but strong smell of an everything bagel). Bagels are great for traveling because they’re filling and don’t get squished. elle - May 30, 2012 - 5:59 pm
The wood plank makes such a simple and lovely backdrop against the white table! dafna - May 30, 2012 - 7:18 pm

Love these tips! Carrie | acookgrowsinbrooklyn - May 31, 2012 - 8:08 am
Never have I been so captivated by sandwiches – they are beautiful! Always on my list after traveling – to be more prepared – this has inspired me and I see a summer full of better travel snacks in my future. melissa | west coast nest - May 31, 2012 - 9:55 am
Loved this post! Thank you for the great {healthy!] ideas for battling overpriced and unhealthy airline and airport food!! :) dramatic pancake - May 31, 2012 - 1:24 pm
GREAT ideas! I always kick myself when I end up paying $10 for a piece of turkey and cheese stuck between stale bread (aka airport sandwiches). I’m going to have to remember this for next time! Kate @ eatrecyclerepeat - June 1, 2012 - 3:46 am
baby carrots are my favorite snack, but I bring entire meals on flights with me. Last time it was a roasted vegetable salad with zucchini, butternut squash, cauliflower, and red onions. I also really like dried sweet potatoes or sweet potato chips, chestnuts, or an apple. gray - June 1, 2012 - 4:47 am
holy crap these photos are unbelievable. this is my first visit, love it! xoxo Vida - June 1, 2012 - 6:12 am
Thanks so much for this post. I travel on and off for work and leaving NYC gets sad when it comes to food. This helps to have more than nuts dried fruit and water. Have a trip overseas and this tip will come in handy. nicole - June 1, 2012 - 9:43 am
I brought nature’s path oatmeal w. me this winter on my trip to Costa Rica, and it totally saved me. I am definitely an oatmeal-in-the-morning kinda girl! I am now craving almond butter + strawberry sandwiches … no travel required :) Carly - June 1, 2012 - 10:00 am
Great post! I always take fruit with me on international flights (and make sure to eat everything before I officially cross the border). Something about eating fresh and healthy food also seems to help with jet lag. Lynda - June 1, 2012 - 11:36 am
Great idea. I always forget to bring my own food. Perhaps I should pack a snack that boosts memory. Jacqui - June 2, 2012 - 10:50 am
Love this post! I travel/road trip a lot in the Summer too. One thing I like to do is make a big batch of granola, then pick up plain yogurt at grocery stores and enjoy with fresh fruit. Burritos and a container full of homemade pancake mix seems to always make it in too! Allison - June 4, 2012 - 6:16 am
Great post! Just in time for summer travels. I will definitely try some of your travel food ideas next time I venture out on a long trip. It all looks very appealing and nutritious. A great alternative to the airport food and gas station snacks. Thanks! Juicer - June 5, 2012 - 12:36 pm
I would never have thought of this one. It looks great and I don’t have to fly to eat it. Kathryne - June 5, 2012 - 9:39 pm
For some reason, I usually forget that bringing my own food to the airport is even an option. I did make it home with some leftover Momofuku Milk Bar cookies this time, though! Your options look much healthier and more satisfying. I think I’ll eat almond butter on toast with fruit tomorrow morning for breakfast. :) Anyway, I had the greatest time meeting you in New York! So glad we could get to know each other over the course of two fun evenings. Thank you for making sure I got home on Friday night, I owe you one. Hope our paths cross again soon! Amanda - June 14, 2012 - 9:25 am
This was something I needed to read today. There are some days I spend a lot of time on the road doing errands and I end up eating total garbage from gas stations or fast food places. I actually feel ashamed going through the drive through with all my bumper stickers proclaiming the wonders of raw milk, lard, and kale. Lindsey Royal Anderson - June 26, 2012 - 3:49 pm
Oh my yum! Thank you for the inspiration! Jenny - July 1, 2012 - 6:11 am
We bring our own food too – lots, for the kids. And I try to bring relatively low-odor snacks after one flight when I was newly expectant and a fellow passenger unpacked his pungent (and no doubt delicious) meal. That was torture to my oversensitive nose and already nauseous tummy. Your options look great, and why have I not heard of Justin’s? I will be searching for it now! Denise Kelley - July 15, 2012 - 8:25 pm

 Hello, friends. I’m writing from a motel in a truck stop along the I-5, somewhere in central California. I think I’ve mentioned before my fondness for little respites in places most people think of as nowhere. Because sometimes what I need is a little heat, an uninterrupted sky, and a swimming pool. And I’ve got... by Kimberley show hide 24 comments Brian @ A Thought For Food - May 8, 2012 - 3:10 pm
Those quail eggs are so beautiful! Looks like we’re both on the road a lot recently! Hope you’re doing well! Pamela - May 8, 2012 - 3:17 pm
Lovely pictures, agreed – the quail eggs are beautiful. My next question was going to be the taste, but you answered that already, thank you. :D) Eileen - May 8, 2012 - 3:28 pm
Egg and greens on good toast is one of my favorite combinations. Lovely! Tinabobina99 - May 8, 2012 - 3:45 pm
I’m off to the store to get fava greens, or spinach if they don’t have it. This really does sound so refreshing! Thanks for sharing. Lynda - May 8, 2012 - 4:08 pm
I envy your trip. And those eggs and greens look magnificent. Nicole @Eat This Poem - May 8, 2012 - 4:15 pm

I just bought quail eggs this weekend, and we had them for dinner last night on a breakfast pizza. Thanks for this toast idea. By the way, I have some pheasant eggs, too. Any ideas for those? la domestique - May 8, 2012 - 8:50 pm
Love me some quail eggs. They have a way of making toast and greens feel special. Good luck wrapping up your project, and enjoy the sun! Anna @ the shady pine - May 8, 2012 - 10:28 pm
Love your pictures! The quail eggs are stunning little gems! Sasha - May 9, 2012 - 1:58 am
And what a motel, what a sky, what a setting! I have a feeling that the picture with the palm reflection is going to be in my head for a while. It is achingly beautiful. There is just something about quail eggs. There is a restaurant in Mumbai that uses quail eggs instead of hen eggs in their salad nicoise which I thought always made the salad slightly more elegant, slightly more special. You’ve inspired me to go pick some up to slightly bedazzle my breakfast. Carrie | acookgrowsinbrooklyn - May 9, 2012 - 6:26 am
I’m a sucker for a soft boiled egg with a runny yolk. I have never come across fava greens – I wonder what they taste like? Sarah - May 9, 2012 - 7:05 am
I was JUST talking to someone about quail eggs. How beautiful. And married with one of my favorite meals: greens on toast. This is my kind of dish, Kimberley! leela - May 9, 2012 - 7:49 am

Mega congrats on the Saveur nomination, Kimberley! You are such good company. I’m 100% with you on this post—planes are my favorite spots for thinking (long car rides, bike rides and walks are also great). Something about looking out the window at high speeds seems to get my thoughts moving. I’ve also recognized the need to shut down the computer and I’m craving a real vacation, from life and technology. Can’t wait to listen to Jonah speak about creativity, thanks for sharing!

It’s so true – I figured out what I wanted for my next big project while on an unplugged camping trip last summer. Ever since then if I’m working on something important or just start to feel overwhelmed, I try to give myself a little time with no computer, no NPR (even though I love it!) and it really works. I love your blog as well, congrats! Someday I hope my food photos look like yours. :) And, thanks for the rice crackers! We hit the road again soon and these would be great to have along.

You rock, lady! Congrats on the nomination — much deserved. So glad you got a chance to head to IACP; I was sad to miss it this year and heard it was especially worthwhile (SF next year!)I will check out this Lehrer talk … I’ve actually been baking granola without music lately to just let me mind wander wherever it pleases.

So fun to get a glimpse into the space where the magic happens! ;-) I don’t have a big, glamorous kitchen either, but I tend to believe there are so many overlooked efficiencies in a cozy kitchen.

As a foodie with a kitchen that is MUCH smaller, darker, and homelier …. how do you get such great pics? Where do you take the pictures and what do you do to get that bright, fresh look? I have no problems cooking delicious food in my closet-sized kitchen but it’s VERY difficult to get good pictures of it. AND, those pink eggs are amazing. They should be in a museum or something! Jon - March 29, 2012 - 3:42 pm
You can keep the egg yolks centered in the whites by stirring the eggs as they cook. Just like how rolling a snowball around in your hands creates a symmetrical ball (sometimes), stirring the eggs as they cook keeps the yolk centered within the white! Love the photos, and the ethereal impression they create! Robert Richards Recipes - March 30, 2012 - 4:13 pm

I loved the look into your kitchen! It’s always so fun to see someone in their element. I’m a little embarrassed of my kitchen, myself! It’s small and dark and too narrow for two people to comfortably work in it, but we make due with what we have! I keep reminding myself that one day, I’ll look back at the years I’ve lived in this apartment, and the meals I’ve made in my kitchen, and smile from ear to ear. fujiia - April 3, 2012 - 2:39 pm
These are absolutely gorgeous. I love the analogy between a silk purse out of a sow’s ear and showing your very real kitchen to the world, to strangers (like me!) Bailey Jane - April 3, 2012 - 8:06 pm

HA! I would not want my kitchen to be featured… It would be such a huge disappointment. I’m heading over now to look at your space! And these deviled eggs look marvelous! The color is brilliant. Mwah! Oliver - April 6, 2012 - 4:57 am

 December was crazy. Among the many things that kept me busy was shooting the images for Bon Appetit’s 2012 Food Lover’s Cleanse. Last year, I fell in love with the Food Lover’s Cleanse for its straightforward, reasonable, un-faddish recipes whose focus is more on eating wholesome, nutritious food that tastes good than extreme dieting.

Congrats on such a fantastic opportunity- nice job! Sasha - January 4, 2012 - 9:36 pm
I am drooling. I love that cleansing now focuses on eating more whole and delicious foods instead of eating less in general. Can’t wait to try these recipes! Laurel - January 5, 2012 - 7:03 am
Lucky you! I found that idea so inspiring, it really helped me, and I am looking forward to a healthier year. Kasey - January 6, 2012 - 4:00 pm
I am trying that miso dressing, stat!! Welcome to 2012 girl. Can’t wait to see you (hopefully soon!) xo Anna @ the shady pine - January 7, 2012 - 12:51 pm
I have just come across your lovely blog…these recipes look delicious and much more realistic that what’s involved in doing some ‘cleanses’. NicoleD - January 10, 2012 - 1:06 pm
This is my kind of cleanse, too. The food looks so great. I’m trying that pear, yogurt, maple syrup snack asap. Thanks for sharing and congratulations! Lynda - January 12, 2012 - 4:33 pm
Great photos and recipe roundup. I feel healthier already! Brian @ A Thought For Food - January 14, 2012 - 6:07 pm
Every recipe sounds fabulous… and I know how delightful it is to try out a recipe like pears, yogurt and maple syrup and be pleasantly surprised by how delicious it is. Colleen - February 8, 2012 - 7:02 am
I did the BA Cleanse too, it was amazing!! Highly recommend to anyone. The salad dressings were a favorite of mine too. Your photos are great! Vicky - February 29, 2012 - 7:41 am
