Frida Kahlo’s Zucchini Salad
Frida Kahlo’s Zucchini Salad is a delicious and refreshing summer salad.In the 1930s, artists Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo often hosted festive dinner parties—which Frida called “día de los manteles largos,” the days of the long tablecloth—at their Mexico City home. The recipe for this simple Mexican salad of grilled zucchini, avocado, and salty, crumbled añjeo cheese (or Parmesan) was served at a dinner party attended by Mexican composer Carlos Chávez and Nelson Rockefeller. It comes from Frida’s Fiestas written by her step-daughter Guadalupe Rivera and Marie-Pierre Cole.

The Luggage Room’s Avocado Festival Pizza
The Avocado Festival is my favorite pizza from the Luggage Room, which is a pizzeria attached to La Grande Orange, housed in the old luggage room of the Pasadena train station. The Avocado Festival is topped with avocados, tomatoes, basil, and lemon zest. At Luggage Room, they use a sourdough crust which is sublime! Here is my take on this pizza that you can make at home.
