This is so inspiring to us! As the weather warms and th...

We feel like proud parents. We watered, swished, rinsed, and nurtured our little alfalfa seeds, and look how grown up they are! At only 6 days old, no less......
Here's our meal tonight - slow-cooked brisket with caramelized onions and a splash of Worcestershire and soy sauce. It's so easy and delicious that we wanted to share the recipe. Ours is still in prog...
In honor of St. Patrick's Day, we probably won't be wearing green. We might not even eat any corned beef and cabbage. But we'll definitely be making tall, frosty Guinness milkshakes. ...
Here's another set of high-design cutlery from dining in 2015, the international competition and exhibit of new design for kitchen and table. Last week we showed you all this wearable cutlery - little...
Among the many poignant moments in this quirky love story by Audrey Niffenegger, it's the lazy picnics shared by grade-school Clare and her time-traveling husband-to-be that stand out for us.
In the...

My boyfriend and I are hosting an Easter dinner party at his place (with its modestly equipped kitchen) for about 20 people (open house style). In...
I sat down for a cheese tasting with Gordon Edgar at San Francisco's Rainbow Grocery. Gordon buys the cheese for Rainbow, and sits on the Board of Directors of the California Artisan Cheese Guild. I...
So, as we mentioned yesterday, it's 3.14 - Pi Day! For all of you who graduated and promptly forgot any math not directly related to balancing a checkbook (well, maybe some of that too), here's a brie...
At the Alemany Farmer's Market right now we're seeing a lot of cardoons in season. Cardoons are closely related to - and taste very much like - artichokes. Why is this vegetable not well-known, then...
We weren't crazy about Domino's March issue, devoted to green living. And according to some comments on our home sites, many of you weren't either.
But we did enjoy reading Cynthia Kling's column on...
It's one of the oldest entertaining tricks in the book - adding height to a display table by sticking shoeboxes or coffee cans under your tablecloth, then setting platters on top of them.
The only p...
Dorure (dough-rour): In baking, the process of applying a wash of egg, butter, milk, or a combination to the surface of shaped dough just before baking.
In American recipes, this is commonly referre...

So much depends upon food and farm in our favorite poems by William Carlos Williams ...

Easter is just around the corner; have you started thinking about your Easter bread or spring lamb yet? Well, this recipe for Golden Chocolate Easter Eggs certainly woke us up to spring. This dazzling...
Coconut and Lime developed a delicious-looking absinthe cupcake, topped with green fairy icing and a sugar cube. We think the fresh anise taste and the green pastel color is just right for Spring and...
We can't count how many times we've heard, "Ooooh, fancy!" as guests unfold cloth napkins into their laps at our dinner parties.
Really, cloth napkins aren't so fancy. At least, we don't think they ...
All right, let's see a show of hands: who's too tired to cook every night of the week? Yup, that's what we thought ... us, too.
On the weekends, we like to go to the local farmer's market and loa...
When it comes to the Park Slope Food Coop, unbelievers are everywhere. They say that there are too many rules, which are too stridently enforced. They complain about crowded aisles and long lines. The...

After reading through all the meals you've made so often that they've become permanently committed to memory, we thought we'd share one of our own!
This is one of those go-to weeknight meals that we ...
Nerdy bakers have a particular reason to love March 14th. Tomorrow's date, 3/14, resembles the mathematical constant of pi (3.14159). And what better way to celebrate pi than to make pie? ...
OK, here's what we learned last night while watching the first episode of Top Chef Chicago: The contestants are still cocky, faux hawks are apparently still a popular hair style, and Bravo is not afra...
The exact size of old-school gumballs, these little nibs of pretzel and chocolate are the perfect salty-sweet combination. Biting down on one (or a handful) gives a soul-satisfying crunch that we've b...
We are definitely not qualified to answer medical questions, so we're a little stumped by this question from Selena. See our answers below, but can anyone help us out?
I need help with ingredient su...
At the Ferry Building Farmer's Market on Saturday, we saw a delectable salad green called mâche. Known by other names such as corn salad and lamb's lettuce, it's believed by historians and literar...
If you haven't yet been introduced, Edible Communities is (are?!) a national network of local food magazines. Sound like a contradiction in terms?! Well, maybe, but it's one we're more than happy to l...
We're getting a head start on the spring Kitchn Cure, looking at our pantry and freezer with a skeptical eye. What are the foods that we won't want to eat in a month's time, when the greenmarkets are ...
We're big fans of Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) here at the Kitchn. So big that it seems like a lifetime to wait until the first delivery from our local farms arrives in June. Until then, we'r...
We love brown-bagging our lunch; not only is it more economical and better for our waistlines, but it's also a good way to get rid of last night's leftovers. One of our favorite grown-up lunch boxes ...
Last week we talked about your favorite food-themed picture books. This week, we're curious - what are your favorite food scenes in classic novels? There is so much to choose from, especially among th...
The New York Times' Dining Section is heavy on the restaurants this week, but we enjoyed the Dining In sections - especially Florence Fabricant's tips on the hottest and latest kitchen gear. This Mi...
A question from Tamar - if she can't vent outside, does she need a range hood?
I am planning a kitchen renovation and looking into new appliances. My historic coop won't let me vent outside, so I wo...
Tom and Padma are back.... Are you in? Season 4 of Top Chef is cooking in Chicago, and the first challenge tackles the city's signature food: deep dish pizza. Pack your knives......
These days, whenever we mention the Midwest, it seems like all we talk about are the politics of corn, CAFOs, or other unpleasant realities of our current food culture. So it's nice when a small busin...
It started with a Pierre Marcolini chocolate. Two weeks ago, we tried his dark chocolate ganache infused with thyme and orange peels. And though the idea seemed strange, it really worked – the choco...
This Single Person Cooker, featured yesterday at Unplggd, was designed as a compact cooking solution for city dwellers who have no space for a full kitchen. This ingenious and compact "kitchen in the ...

Breadcrumbs usually lie like a lazy blanket on top of pasta or casseroles. For this quick dish, we toasted them up in flavored olive oil, tossed them with roasted cauliflower, and let them shine as a ...
Hellmann's in the United Kingdom reports that they'll be using free-range eggs in their mayonnaise from now on. We think this is a good idea. Free-range eggs come from chickens that are not caged in...
It's Bathroom Month over at our sister sites! For most of us, the bathroom is where where we keep all the various band aids, wraps, ointments, and goops that soothe the little nicks we seem to collect...
The joy of discovering a new delicious vegetable doesn't usually happen in the last weeks of winter. But last week, a reader told us that if we liked radishes, we should try kohlrabi, the strangely sh...
Hot on the heels of the alfalfa sprout recall comes another food recall; the Quaker Oats Company has recalled a small amount of Aunt Jemima Pancake and Waffle Mix due to potential salmonella contamina...

We noticed a very dramatic black bathroom at AT:New York last week and it made us think about black in the kitchen. We are not usually huge fans of black in the kitchen - we're so over black granite ...
I sometimes forget that fine cheese isn't so easy to find.
I'm a spoiled New Yorker, and whether I'm close to home or work, I'm only a few moments away from a trusted purveyor of the kind of cheese...
Cooking a meal for someone else is a generous expression of love, we think. But when that meal needs to be schlepped across town to a new mom or sick friend — and possibly sit in their fridge for ...
We are whisk junkies. Whisks are so helpful in the kitchen, and we use our growing collection for mixing and beating in nearly every recipe we make. So we are naturally curious about this whisk we jus...
Most of the time, it's fine to simply wash our thermometers with soapy water and call it a day. But when we've been using them to take the temperature of meat, we want them clean. And we mean really c...
We had planned to write a post about the rising cost of food, or something equally serious. But any pretensions of gravity flew out the window as soon as we saw this cake, attached to the magic words:...

One of our favorite places in San Francisco to shop for artisan chocolate is Fog City News. From the outside, it looks like an ordinary newsstand, but step inside, and it's a treasure trove of fine...
When you charge $8.50 for a pint of pickles, they had better be life changing.
Sure, Wheelhouse Pickles are well-regarded, standing out from the sea of New York's artisan pickle makers. But until re...
Folks can get pretty particular about how they like their steaks. Some of us like it well-done while others say the more red and rare the better! When we're cooking steaks at home, it can be hard to g...
At the Ferry Building Farmer's Market on Saturday, we saw a lot of fresh, organic spring lamb being sold by local farmers. ...

We are happy readers, here at The Kitchn, and as we announced last week, this month we're taking a trip through books that have inspired us to cook (and eat!).

Our Book Club wrapped up last week, and it was such a treat to read through Julia Child's memoir. My Life in France is full of life, color, and the intense pleasure that can be found in cooking good f...
