Recipe: Prunes Stewed in Port Wine

Recipe: Cream of Celery Soup with Bacon

Celery is one of those things that can languish in the back of our fridge for a long time. It's hard to use an entire bunch. We chopped three or four stalks into our Thanksgiving stuffing, and this is...

Recipe: Fresh Cranberry Relish

This is cranberry relish to us. No wiggling cylinder from a can, no whole berries that are cooked down with sugar. Our cranberry side dish is always fresh, chunky, sweet, and full of fruit. We think w...

Earthy mushroom soup is one of our favorite fall meals. After trying several recipes, we settled on this one as a favorite and we come back to it again and again. It's adapted from a recipe by Anthony...

Recipe: Blackberry Buttermilk Ice Cream

Last weekend I found a bush on the side of the road teeming with wild blackberries. Our two-year old thought it great fun to pick them, and drop a few of them into her red bucket, while eating the re...

Recipe: Buttermilk Rosemary Ice Cream

This is the first ice cream I made from scratch this month. Consider it a warm-up, we have weeks to go. Like many good recipes, it was born from needing to use up ingredients: a half-used container...

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: Cold Peanut Sesame Noodles

We don't need to remind everyone that there's a serious heat wave washing over much of the country right now. How about we just give you something cool to serve for supper? ...

Recipe: Lemon Verbena Simple Syrup

Lemon verbena is one of our favorite herbs. It's a tall, spare, long-leafed plant with slender leaves and a fragrance to die for. It's not hard to capture that fragrance in a simple syrup. ...
