By SIRI DALY
Here’s a little piece of trivia for you:
I wrote most of my cookbook at various
coffee shops. I often attempted
to write at home, but I almost always
got distracted by organizing my
Tupperware or color coordinating
my bookshelves...you know, super
important things.
Therefore, it was helpful and
productive to get out of the house.
In Manhasset, a new coffee joint
recently opened called For Five, and
not only does it have delicious caffeinated
beverages, it has a seasonal
made-to-order menu with all sorts of
breakfast and lunch options.
One of my favorites is the smashed
chickpea sandwich, and I’ve since
recreated the dish at home. It’s essentially
garbanzo beans — smashed
— with Greek yogurt, a little mayo,
fresh-squeezed lemon juice and
some spices, served between toasted
bread slices and topped with sprouts,
cucumber and avocado.
It’s a refreshing, vegetarian lunch
and great fuel for writing a cookbook...
in case that’s something you’re up to.
