Finely ground coffee can add depth and a subtle roasted bitterness that enhances caramelization. Freshly ground beans taste best in this situation since they have all of their aroma and flavor still intact. Once you expose those grounds to air or once all the good stuff is extracted during brewing, those spent grounds are a lot duller and lack the same depth.

Jewel-toned and luscious pomegranate vinaigrette provides vibrant contrast to the rustic, earthy flavors of roasted vegetables. You can substitute pomegranate molasses (found at well- stocked gourmet grocery stores) for the homemade pomegranate syrup, but if you do, the dressing will look more brown than red, and you'll want to sweeten it with a tablespoon of honey. Preheat the oven to 425°F.

I love bibimbap, the Korean rice bowls they're a great way to use up bits and pieces in the fridge; arrange them beautifully on a bowl of rice and top with an egg and Korean chilli sauce. I don't always have gochugaru at home, so came up with this addictive miso-peanut chilli sauce instead. Roast the vegetables in some sesame oil in a tray, pop the rice in the microwave, boil or fry an egg, and that's dinner sorted.

The resulting dish can then be served warm, which makes for a far more comforting eating experience.
