Lori Stern's Vegan Dinner is a Midsummer Dream

Lori A. Stern occupies a niche corner of the food world. She’s made a name for herself with her pressed-flower sugar cookies and petal-adorned cakes, but her skills aren’t limited to just desserts. Everything she touches turns brighter, better, and prettier, and she’s no stranger to improvisation, either, a tactic she employed on this dreamy midsummer evening. Every dish was almost too beautiful to eat—but of course, we did. Plus, Lori shares her recipe (one of few that she has written down!) for her absurdly addictive turmeric pickled cauliflower below.
