Recipe: Quick and Easy Black Bean Soup

When held up against the fresh, mouth-watering produce at farmer's markets, canned foods can definitely pale in comparison (to say the least). But they have their time and place too! This soup recipe...

Recipe Cheat: Gazpacho With Canned Tomatoes

From our pie tip earlier and the photo of all those wild blueberries on Friday you might surmise that we dipped into pie-making again. And you would be correct - we made a pie, a very pretty violet pi...

Recipe: Meyer Lemon Grain Salad with Asparagus, Almonds and Goat Cheese

We are having a little fling with Meyer lemons. A friend brought us two whole bags of organic Meyer lemons from California, and we're putting them to good use. First that lusciously easy pie, and now ...

Hunk o' Fruit: Bill Granger's Oat, Pear, and Raspberry Loaf

It's not often that we buy a cookbook for just one recipe, but we confess we did that here. All it took was one photo... ...

Recipe: Blood Orange Jelly Smiles

You've seen them on the dessert cart every time you went out for dim sum. But the lure of the custard tarts and the sesame balls has always been too strong, so you've never actually tried the jelle...

Bittersweet Honorable Mention: Best With Afternoon Coffee

We are recent biscotti converts; we didn't realize until lately how wonderful they are, dunked into a cup of afternoon coffee. This recipe for Xocolatl-Cranberry Biscotti from Katie went in our to-...

Bittersweet Honorable Mention: Best With Morning Coffee
