Do we really need another beet salad? We really don't need much, but would you love another beet salad? My guess is yes. There's certainly room on our server, so why not? Last week, Maxwell and I a...
A few weeks ago, we had a dish at the restaurant Sfoglia in New York that was one of the best things we've eaten in a while. It was so Fall, so simple, and (hooray) so readily found on the Internet. G...
I recently dined at Mochica and was impressed with their fantastic sangria. Unfortunately, I tried replicating the recipe and couldn't come up with a good alternative. Although I have looked online f...
We've had this recipe from The Splendid Table's How To Eat Supper earmarked for a while. Given the dreary weather we've been getting all along the East Coast, we thought a bowl of noodles and tender b...
Just because we champion home cooking doesn't mean we don't love to eat out, too. Usually it's the luxury of enjoying our food and friends while someone else worries about searing the meat and cleanin...
It is universally true for all cuisines and palates that the combination of carbohydrates and fat produces the most delicious food. The breakfast sandwich, once placed on menus for those who'd self-...

My newest recipe over at Dannon is for Yogurt Panna Cotta with Wine-Simmered Cherries, which was an attempt at a restaurant reproduction of a dessert of a similar name served at August in the West Vil...
[As you know, this is a site about cooking, not restaurants. However, it is not to say that we never eat out. We do, on occasion, and always find it an opportunity to cull new inspiration for cookin...
This Restaurant Reproduction comes from Gotham Bar & Grill. Gotham uses Manila Clams, but we used cockles. Our version is much more, shall we say, rustico than Gotham's. But then again, our entire ...
We live in the West Village and usually venture East in order to avoid the Halloween parade. This year we tucked into Little Giant (85 Orchard @ Grand) on the Lower East Side. The meal was amazing. ...
One of the greatest food pleasures to be had in France is a well-made Salade Lyonnaise. It's simple: frisee, lardons (pieces of bacon), and an egg. Of course, with all things simple, getting it ju...
Poaching an egg isn't the easiest thing in the world. If you've never done it, give yourself room for improvement. It takes practice. Salade Lyonnais serves two 4 cups frisée, torn into large bi...
We were too tired to cook last night. So we went to one of our favorite no-reservations-needed little gems: Grano Trattoria (21 Greenwich Avenue @ 10th Street). There is a salad on the menu that the...
