"Non-cooks think it's silly to invest two hours' work in two minutes' enjoyment; but if cooking is evanescent, so is the ballet."

With a lot of greens I like to use a bit of sweetness, especially when the greens are bitter, as with arugula or others like spinach or collards. Sometimes I will use just a touch of maple syrup because there’s a smoky, umami flavor. Arugula is more delicate and the honey is a better choice. It’s easy to overdo it so I always use a measuring spoon.
