Weeknight Recipe: Panzanella

There are two ways you can view this Italian bread salad: as a dish that really lets the best of the season shine or as a clever excuse to have your bread and eat it too. However you choose to see it...

Recipe: Sesame Cucumber Salad

I have a cucumber problem: suddenly I have armfuls of giant, prickly cukes in my garden. They're called Suyo Long Cucumbers and most gardeners would say there's not a lot to do with such a large frui...

More Pizza Grilling Inspiration

I know, Grilling Month was last month but this weekend I took a break from churning ice cream (that's August's theme) and instead enjoyed what many of us enjoy all summer, making food over a fire (see...

Recipe: Barely Cooked String Beans

The beans I planted this year in the garden were not doing so well, given the bunnies on parade. With a few rounds of the staple gun and some poultry wire, we seem to have brought things under contro...

Tastes Like Summer: The Perfect Tomato Sandwich

Oh, we've been waiting for this for a while... ...

From The Email: Weeknight Fish for Two

A version of this post was originally sent to our email subscribers on June 26th. To receive Sara Kate's weekly email, sign up in the column to the left or click here. Something tasty will arrive in y...

Weeknight Recipe: 30-Minute Chicken Posole

Posole is everything we love about southwestern cuisine. It's fresh and light, spicy and cool, crunchy and chewy: all in one bowl! With summer escapes on the brain, we offer this recipe as a quick wee...

Recipe: Kale Salad with Pecorino and Lemon

One of our favorite late summer and early autumn salads is quite simple: just kale, Pecorino Romano, and a light vinaigrette. ...

Weeknight Recipe: Old-Fashioned Sloppy Joes

A few weeks ago, we opened our great grandmother's church cookbook at random and found ourselves looking at a recipe for "Untidy Josephs." We quickly realized that these were the sloppy joes of our ...

Recipe: Fridge Clearing Avocado Soup

I was chatting with Melissa Clark last week while touring her kitchen for an upcoming Kitchen Tour, and I asked her how she would describe her cooking style. One of her answers was "refrigerator clea...

Recipe: Lemony Ricotta Pasta with Basil

A friend and neighbor of ours, who takes his cooking very seriously, makes this pasta often. It's quite simple (boil pasta, toss sauce ingredients into a metal bowl, stir over the boiling water pot, t...

Recipe: The Perfect Tomato Salad

It's not really fair to suggest something so definitive as The Perfect Tomato Salad. When it comes to vegetables, especially, so much of perfect has to do with the vegetable itself. But I had perfec...

Recipe: Coffee-Vanilla Milkshake (With a Navan Kick)

We are not very adventurous in our liquor choices. A plain gin and tonic is our perennial summer cocktail; why change a good thing? We'll order something new and exotic when dining out, but at home we...

Recipe: Mango Colada

We just returned from a week in the Caribbean and are in high detox mode. This week's plan: no drinks at lunch. Not too hard, right? As of today, Day Two, we haven't fallen off the wagon yet. Ab...

Weeknight Meal: Thin Crust Pizza...Revisited!

There may just be a new Top Crust in town, ladies and gentlemen! We've loved and cherished our thin crust pizza dough for years, but that doesn't mean we can't have a little variety! Last night we n...

Recipe: Easy, Foolproof Cobbler (for Any Fruit)

There are a lot of recipes for cobbler out there, and we've read and considered (and made) quite a few of them. But we keep coming back to a very basic family recipe that is almost no recipe at all. W...

Improvised Lunch: Asparagus-Bean Salad Over Arugula

We didn't make it to the store this weekend and had to scrounge a bit for something to eat at lunchtime yesterday. We started with a can of cannelloni beans from our pantry, rummaged through the frid...

In Eric Gower's Kitchen: The Barefoot Stir-fry

When I visited Eric Gower last month for a kitchen tour, I was also invited to stay for lunch, which turned into a lesson on how to make fried rice, breakaway style. It took Eric all of seven minutes...

Recipe: Honey Lavender Panna Cotta

OK, this makes three - three! - dessert recipes with lavender that we've posted in the last month or two. Lavender is just such a wonderful ingredient for spring and summer desserts; used with a light...

How To Bake Salmon Fillets

Good salmon is at a premium these days. Dana recently wrote about her special splurge on truly wild salmon. We've also reported on the increasing rarity of really well-raised salmon. We do anticipate ...

Hot Day Relief: Frothy, Creamy, Refreshing Strawberry Lassis

Today and tomorrow, Jews around the world are celebrating the harvest festival of Shavuot by studying, decorating their homes with greenery, and eating holiday meals full of dairy, especially cheese b...

Recipe: Raw Ricotta with Orange and Chocolate

You asked for it. Well, not really. (Most of you seemed "grossed out" by my post about Cooking with Colostrum.) But I'm giving it to you anyway: the recipe for Colostrum Raw Milk Ricotta....

Weekend Recipe: Rhubarb Lavender Crumble

Rhubarb is an odd fruit. To begin with, it's actually a vegetable - a vegetable with poisonous leaves. The stalks are crisp and juicy, with a vegetal crunch rather like celery. And yet this prosaic st...

Eating From the Garden: Meyer Lemon Spring Salad with Baby Greens, Herbs, Almonds and Goat Cheese

First salad from the garden! We snipped arugula, baby spinach, chive blossoms, and herbs from our garden and tossed up this salad last night. It's exciting to be eating out of our tiny garden at last....

Easy Appetizer: Goat Cheese with Parsley and Lemon

Since Nora has let us all know that spring is high time for goat cheese, we thought we'd share a quick appetizer that frequently shows up at our dinner parties... ...
