If you plan on strutting around in nothing more than a tightly pack mawashi (sumo g-sling) this summer take some dietary advice from the dudes who make their living as male bikini models. There is a l...
Last week we ate at Mario Batali's pizzeria, Otto and promptly afterward I decided to tell you about my vegetables sides tucked in little bowls. Last week's email gave the recipe for some minty Englis...
Tuesday night we ate at Mario Batali's pizzeria, Otto. The not-so-secret secret to enjoying this place is to order a bunch of the sides and just munch. And so we did. Minty English peas and prosciutto...
Fava beans are, in our opinion, one of the very best things about spring. So, when we set out to follow a Martha Stewart recipe for orzo with peas but couldn't find English peas at the farmers' market...
Radishes are one of our favorite bright spring vegetables. Last year, we almost overdosed on radishes with butter and sea salt (so good), so we started thinking of another option for snacking. The cre...

We could - and have! - eat a plate of sweet potato fries for dinner and nothing else. They're creamy, a bit crunchy, and very satisfying. We like them kicked up with a light dusting of spicy chili pow...
We grew up eating broccoli salad that had raisins, peanuts, a sweet mayonnaise dressing, and toasted Ramen noodles on top. It's a delight, which you know if you've had it. But every time we look up a ...
We are great fans of Los Angeles chefs Mary Sue Milliken and Susan Feniger, whose dishes are never fussy but always fresh and inspired. So when we received their April newsletter with a recipe for Bab...
Earlier today we told you about our cocktail party strategy of sticking to two or three dishes (rather than eight or nine) that look bountiful and feed a crowd. This is one we just served: tomato skew...

Snap peas and mint from the farmers' market, a Meyer lemon from a friend's yard, and a couple of basic pantry ingredients – quick to prepare and speaking wholly of spring. I hesitate to call thi...

Faith's post about watermelon got me thinking about what I'm craving: pesto. The fact that basil isn't growing anywhere near New York City, at least not directly out of the earth, is one reason why pe...
