Weekend Recipe: Rhubarb Lavender Crumble

Rhubarb is an odd fruit. To begin with, it's actually a vegetable - a vegetable with poisonous leaves. The stalks are crisp and juicy, with a vegetal crunch rather like celery. And yet this prosaic st...

Eating From the Garden: Meyer Lemon Spring Salad with Baby Greens, Herbs, Almonds and Goat Cheese

Weekend Cooking: Braised Radishes (Again) - This Time with Rice Vinegar and Mint

Recipe: Spring Radishes Braised with Shallots and Vinegar

Recipe: Pecan Crusted Salmon with Sautéed Ramps and Purple Potatoes

Recipe: Spring Leek and Lemon Soup

In with spring and out with winter - but don't let go of your winter citrus just yet. This soup bridges the divide between fresh spring produce and the zip of winter citrus like oranges, lemons, and g...

Fresh Cooking for Spring: Braise!

This week a year ago we were deep into our Braising Contest 2007 - a light, breezy contest that garnered far more attention and entries than we expected. Turns out that braising is pretty interesting ...

Remember no-knead bread? A year ago this Thursday, Mark Bittman published a recipe that turned into a craze - sweeping instant yeast off shelves in New York and inducing a run on Dutch ovens. ...

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: D.I.Y. Tabbouleh

This recipe, which we are addicted to, may irk tabbouleh purists. In the Middle East, tabbouleh is invariably made by hand. The parsley is chopped painstakingly into mounds of light, tenderly sliced l...

Recipe: Bok Choy with Wild Mushrooms

Bok choy is hard to mess up. Its crispy white stalks are good stir-fried with just a bit of soy sauce until tender, and its mild taste takes to other Asian flavors very well. This recipe mixes up th...

Chicken salad is spring and summer food at its best - easy, creamy and cool. Everyone has their favorite - this incredibly simple version is our own. We are not fans of lots of mayonnaise; we like the...

Recipe: Orange and Nutmeg Blueberry Cake

Blueberries are good hot, like when they're baked into muffins or a cake and they pop just enough to let their juice ooze out in spatters of purple juice. We love them in this cake - it's a dead eas...

Recipe: Garlic Greens with Pine Nuts and an Egg

These hot, sunny days are leaving us mellow and uninclined to cook fancy things at the end of the workday. We're known proponents of the egg for supper, and this is one of our favorite ways to add jus...

We had this warm pasta salad last weekend and it was just the thing for a spring supper, tossed with tangy olives and feta cheese, and snap-tender broccoli. We'd like to make it again this weekend and...
