Product Review: La Tourangelle Roasted Walnut Oil

Recipe Review: Arugula Vichyssoise from Epicurious

We love the cool creaminess of traditional potato-leek vichyssoise, especially on humid summer days like we've been getting. So when Elizabeth mentioned an Epicurious recipe for arugula vichyssoise i...

We had a free afternoon this past weekend and thought we'd try out the baguette recipe from Local Breads, Daniel Leader's latest book on bread baking. Leader says that he didn't include this recipe i...

Recipe Review: Mark Bittman's Rosemary-Lemon White Bean Dip

2-in-1 Recipe Review: Wine-Marinated Grapes and Sweet Wine Refresher

Recipe Review: Patricia Wells' Honey Ice Cream

Stress-Free Weekend Cooking: Muhammara

Earlier this week, we mentioned our newfound love of muhammara – a tangy, spicy spread made with roasted red peppers, walnuts and pomegranate molasses. Well, we can't seem to get it off our minds, a...

Recipe Review: Gluten-Free Strawberry-Rhubarb Crisp

We flagged this recipe from the Boston Globe a few weeks ago when the weather up here was still gloomy and cold. But now that temperatures in the 60's (the 60's!!!) and farmer's markets are opening, ...

Recipe Review: Dried Fig and Nut Bars

We've been weaning ourselves off of prepackaged convenience foods from the grocery store. But so far, we just haven't managed to get away from snack bars. They're just so dang convenient! We've tried...

Recipe Review: Spaghetti with Ramps (Plus Sausage)

Last Friday we mentioned that this Spaghetti with Ramps recipe from Mario Batali looked like our kind of weekend eating. So, we made it — with a few (delicious) changes......

Recipe Recommendation: Cornmeal Fennel Cookies

So, we have a new salad that we are absolutely crazed over. We ate it for dinner last weekend; we ate it for dinner last night, and, guess what? We're eating it for lunch today! And it's nothing spec...

Recipe Review: Green Beans with Walnut-Miso Sauce

It's wonderful when recipes we've forgotten suddenly reappear. This side dish of fresh green beans tossed with a rich and flavorful paste was one of our dinner party staples several years ago, but it ...

Recipe Review: Rhubarb Fool That's No Joke

We consider ourselves hearty dessert eaters. We rarely say, "Oh, I just want a bite of something sweet." We get seconds. But this dessert from Martha Stewart, which we featured on April Fool's Day, ...

Recipe Review: Polenta with Andouille and Broccoli Rabe

We love polenta - out in restaurants. But with the exception of an occasional sprinkle thrown into our tart crusts, polenta wasn't something we cooked at home. That changed this weekend. ...

Recipe Review: Three-Bean Salad with Edamame

Remember this salad we posted yesterday as an option for using up frozen edamame? Well, we made it last night with our own half-full bag, plus some pantry staples. It was easy and really tasty. ...

Recipe Review: Spring Spinach and Herb Soup

April Fools Day Recipe: Is This Really a Bowl of Cereal?

Our favorite April Fools Day food tricks are more nice than naughty - the classic idea of serving foods that look like other foods. You've probably seen the meatloaf "iced" with mashed potatoes to loo...

Recipe Review: Coconut Fish Stew with Basil, But No Lemon Grass

Last week's NY Times Dining section was heavy on the Easter goods, which might be why Melissa Clark's Thai soup stuck in our mind as something different. We couldn't wait to try it, and even though we...
