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: Roasted Beet Salad with Barley, Feta, and Red Onion

Beet salad! Yum! Though this one could have just as easily been called "Barley Salad with Beets, Feta, and Red Onion." Or "Beet and Feta Salad with..." Ok, you get the idea. The real point is that w...

Recipe: Spring Lemon Risotto with Asparagus and Fiddlehead Ferns

After two weeks away from our kitchen, we returned last week to find the market positively brimming with spring vegetables. When we'd left there were only the first signs of ramps, but now there was ...

Recipe: Rice and Mixed Greens Salad with Dates, Cashews, and Chickpeas

This was a tough recipe to name. There's a lot going on in this salad. To be fair — and we're not sure how we feel about admitting this — we could have named it the "Top Chef-Inspired Salad," si...

Recipe: Spelt Farotto with Tuna and Artichokes

We talked last week about our newfound passion for spelt berries - an ancient grain with a delicious nuttiness and chewy texture. We are substituting it for rice, couscous, and even pasta in some reci...

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 ...

Recipe: Overnight Oatmeal with Apricots and Buttermilk

When we gave away those Crock-Pot Versaware slow cookers, we asked readers what they would make in their slow cooker. Reader Louie C said that she would make overnight oatmeal with buttermilk and apri...

Recipe: Pork Stir-Fry with Asparagus and Sugar Snap Peas

Stir-fries aren't usually the well-edited dishes you think about and shop for in advance. They are frequently renegade, use-up-what's-in-the-fridge meals, which is part of their charm. But not so with...

Recipe: Simple Rice Pilaf

Pilaf makes a quick and elegant side dish to almost any meal. You can buy pilaf mixes at the grocery store, but we think it's just as easy--or easier--to make it yourself and then fancy it up with wha...

How to Cook Rice on the Stove

This is a tip we feel a little silly posting. As we always make rice on the stove (as opposed to in a rice cooker) we feel it is obvious. It is not, however, obvious to the many people who ask us ho...

Breakfast for Lunch: Steel-Cut Oats with Dates, Coconut, Cinnamon and Pecans

Do you ever eat breakfast for lunch? Today we wanted a bowlful of those pearly steel-cut oats, hot and fragrant. Here are the other things we threw in... ...

Recipe: Saffron Rice with Peas and Cashews

Rice is a staple of many diets across the world. It's endlessly flexible and variable; it can be a dessert, a side dish, a main dish. As good as plain white rice can be, we love to dress up our rice j...

Recipe: Cous Cous Salad with Winter Squash and Cranberries

Back at the end of the summer when the farmer's markets were closing shop for the season, we bought a 20-pound bag of winter squash for $20 thinking we'd surely never get tired of squash! And now it...

Party Recipe: Spicy Oven-Roasted Chickpeas

Did you know that a can of chickpeas and a little salt and spice can make a crunchy, terribly addictive snack? It's so easy! Here's how... ...

Bittersweet Honorable Mention: Best With Morning Coffee

Oh how we love homemade granola! We've shared our homemade granola formula and our favorite storebought oat crack...err granola. So even though this granola recipe from Spring didn't quite meet ou...

Recipe: Israeli Couscous with Chard

Dinner last night - Trader Joe's Harvest Grain Blend, rainbow chard, and a little chicken broth. That's all it takes for this quick and easy dish. It's so healthy we don't even want to think about it ...

Recipe: Warm Farro Salad with Roasted Squash, Persimmons and Pecans

All this talk of farro has inspired me to cook some. I love its toothsome texture and its flavor pairs well with fall ingredients. This salad has nutty, fruity flavors and contrasting textures. Ser...

Recipe: Smashed Lentils With Egg

Here's a twist on the egg for supper - a midweek staple for so many of us. Lentils are cooked with shallots, garlic and garam masala, then mashed into a ramekin with an egg nestled in the center, and ...

Recipe: Quinoa and Mushroom Stuffed Zucchini

Zucchini is still in season and exploding off the produce shelves - are you looking for something else to do with it? Even if you're sick of zucchini by now, this recipe has something new to liven it ...

Recipe: Yazbek Tabouli

Yazbek Tabouli (As told by Mrs. Yazbek to her daughters.) 2 bunches parsley, chopped 1 bunch green onions, chopped 2 large tomatoes, chopped 1/4 cup Bulgur, rinsed 1/4 cup olive oil Less than 1/4 ...
