Peter Reinhart's Artisan Breads Every Day by Peter Reinhart
Book Reviews 2009

When books come home with me for review consideration, our daughter often is the first to crack the spine and peruse the photos for something that appeals. Recently when I brought home Peter Reinhart'...

Recipe: Balsamic Drizzled Ice Cream (Easiest Fanciest Dessert)

This week, to be quite honest, has been more about making a Flower Princess costume for our three year old than about cooking. We have ordered takeout both nights, my fingers have multiple stab wounds...

Recipe: Coconut Milk Chicken

Since falling in love with Jamie Oliver's Chicken in Milk recipe, I've wanted to try another take on the concept and simmer a whole chicken in coconut milk. How decadent! Yesterday afternoon I had my ...

Cure Your Kitchen in Four Weeks

Clearly, even I could use a little Cure. "Cure your kitchen in four weeks." I make it sound like your kitchen is sick. The majority of kitchens I see, including my own sometimes, have at the very lea...

Birthday Cake Two Ways

To celebrate our daughter turning three, we had a feast with friends and family. She requested lobster, corn and beans and so lobster, corn and beans it was. More on that fiasco another time. What I w...

A Home-Cooked Weeknight Dinner (But Not By Me)

It pays to leave cookbooks lying about when my mother comes to town. This week she surprised us with two great mid-week home-cooked meals. All I had to do was take the picture....

Taking a Break, Shaker-like

Last week I was easing into our vacation with a working trip up to visit Margaret Roach and her fabulous garden in the westernmost Berkshires on the New York state side. Next stop was a hop over the s...

Eating Simply on Vacation with Margaret Roach

We're finally on vacation... a working vacation to begin. First stop was the Berkshires, to tour the kitchen of Margaret Roach. Margaret is the head honcho in chief of the garden blog, A Way To Garden...

Twenty Ways to Cook Just About Anything This Summer

Elizabeth's post on Wednesday asking What Dish Can You Not Stop Making This Summer got me thinking about my favorite summer dishes. As a food writer, I often am making new "dishes," usually actual r...

Playing a Potato Expert on TV with Sean Conway

I spent yesterday on the set of Cultivating Life, a television show about reconnecting with the land. No, no big sound-stage; no wardrobe and make-up trailers (which might have helped curtail my copio...

What Started as a Quick Escape with Goats...

In honor of Escapes Month, I made a quick — or so I thought — escape Wednesday afternoon to a goat farm on the North Fork of Long Island, which led to an all-day meander to farm stands, a ...

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 ...

Top Ten Fancy Foods
Summer Fancy Food Show 2009

No, I don't mean caviar and chocolate covered strawberries, at least not necessarily. The Fancy Food show is a bi-annual event sponsored by the National Association for the Specialty Food Trade and it...

Recipe: Bruised Apricot Breakfast Pie

Two weeks ago, we were in Italy for our summer holiday and, as you know, I spent the first week wondering the streets of Florence, just following my nose. On the last day I picked up a very generous...

Following My Nose in Florence With Help

Last week I gave you a little run-down of our adventures in Florence, navigating the city's culinary offerings without much expert help. Then I spent the day with Judy Witts Francini, aka Divina Cucin...

Following My Nose in Florence

We've been here in Florence for a few days, wandering the bumpity-bump streets jet-lagged with a two-year-old who has finally had her first slurps of gelato and refers to fresh porcini as "meat&q...

In June We Eat Outside

FINALLY. We are eating outside. Those of you in climates like mine here in New York know what I mean when I say finally. The rest of you probably enjoy eating outside all the time, but for those of us...

Recipe: Peas with Prosciutto & Mint

Tuesday night we ate at Mario Batali's pizzeria, Otto. The not-so-secret secret to enjoying this place is to order a bunch of the sides and just munch. And so we did. Minty English peas and prosciutto...

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: Lemony Shaved Fennel Salad with Bresaola

My friends Jules and Charlie had us over for a Mother's Day supper and presented us with this perfect salad. I've wanted it for breakfast, lunch and dinner every day since. Next week is our Apartment ...

How To Do Just About Anything in the Kitchen

This week, Cure-takers are learning one new skill. So what if you're not one of the 800+ participants, why not make a spring resolution to learn a few new tricks in the kitchen? Mining the site for h...

Recipe: Cooking By Instinct Pizza Formula (with Morels & Ramps)

Tuesday night some old friends who live upstate came for dinner, and surprised us with an armful of Morel mushrooms and a sack full of ramps. I'd planned a simple roasted chicken and vegetable dinner,...
