Make-Ahead Recipe: Twice Baked Potatoes

These twice baked potatoes hit a lot of the things we love! We get the creamy mashed potatoes, the tender veggies, and gooey cheese - all served up in a crispy little potato boat. Plus, it's just as e...

Comfort Food: Shepherd's Pie

It's been a little nippy in San Francisco recently, and I started craving one of my favorite comfort foods: shepherd's pie. Or cottage pie to you readers in Australia and the UK. This meat and veget...

At last, fresh summer tomatoes! Last week, we came home from the farmer's market with our bag full of them! As we set them out on the counter, we spied a jar of quinoa that hadn't gotten put away afte...

Recipe: Herbed Ice Cream (In This Case, Rosemary, Served With Mulberries)

It is a gift to be situated near fresh food, even for just a brief moment. While we were in Italy last month, we stayed at a house that had a massive patch of rosemary. I'd been wanting to make ice ...

Recipe: Frozen Nectarine-Yogurt Pie

In the summer, we want fast, easy, and, if it's hot out, cold desserts. This is one of the simplest out there—even quicker if you use a prepared pie crust. Just fresh, ripe fruit, yogurt, some whipp...

Recipe: Farmer's Lunch Sandwich

We first became addicted to this sandwich when it appeared on the deli menu at City Feed and Supply, and quickly adapted it to our own kitchen! With grainy mustard, sharp cheese, and some crunchy appl...

Recipe: Pineapple Macadamia Upside-Down Bars

I'm not usually one to buy a whole pineapple — where I live, pineapples are not exactly in season at the moment — but when I was writing The Greyston Bakery Cookbook, I happened to have be...

Recipe: Korean Barbecued Short-Ribs

We were out of town this week on retreat with some of our staff, and aside from all the work, we also did lots of eating. Gregory (of Apartment Therapy Los Angeles and Unplggd) whipped up some fine K...

Recipe: Broccoli Slaw

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 ...

Recipe: Sweet and Tangy Homemade BBQ Sauce

We moved on from bottled vinaigrette to our own homemade versions years ago, but for some reason, BBQ sauce still came from Kraft or K.C. Masterpiece. And there's no reason for that, when it's so easy...

Recipe: A Simple Duck Ragu

When I cleaned out my freezer last week as part of The Kitchen Cure's Week 1 Assignment, I found some duck legs. What a treasure! Most frozen meat, including duck legs from an unknown date, is best sl...

Make-Ahead Lunch Recipe: Big Green Salad with Shallots, Chicken, Smoked Almonds, Goat Cheese, and Dates

How to Make Onion-Skin Easter Eggs

It's Easter egg time at our house. Last year we brought you the story of Huevos Haminados, a Passover tradition of dying eggs with onion skins. This year, I decided to try it with both yellow and red ...

Recipe: Italian Chicken Salad Sandwiches

This is chicken salad for the mayonnaise-hating crowd. Even if you happen to think mayonnaise is perfectly delightful, this is a nice alternative. We discovered a recipe for it last summer (indeed, fo...

Recipe: Goat Tacos
Or Delicious Roasted Goat for Any Occasion

Last week, when Meat/Un-Meat month was covering lamb, pork and goat, I gave a quick Goat Meat 101 but getting a recipe up was a different matter. It took the better part of the week and weekend to fin...

Recipe: Mexican Spiced Wedding Cookies

Dinner for a Crowd: Slow-Cooked Hoisin and Ginger Pork Wraps with Peanut Slaw

I promised you one of my favorite recipes for a crowd, and this is it! This recipe very handily fed about a dozen people at a recent weekend get-together; there were even leftovers. It's also a very ...

Recipe: Spring Greens Pesto

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...

How To Cook (and Shred) a Pork Shoulder

This may be our very favorite meal. It is incredibly hard to screw up, and yet turning a big hunk of pork shoulder into tender shreds of juicy meat still feels like a noteworthy accomplishment every t...

Recipe: Chickpea and Chorizo Soup

This rich, spicy stew really hits the spot on cold winter nights. Chorizo, the Spanish pork sausage flavored with smoked paprika and chilies, has a spicy, robust flavor that just permeates this soup. ...
