Breakfast Recipe: Plum and Fig Flognarde
It’s the season for Italian prune plums. These tiny oval fruits are delightful for baking – they soften and run into plummy jam in the oven. These and figs are a perfect late summer pair, which is why we put them into a clafoutis on Saturday morning – or, as we discovered, a flognarde, since clafoutis is a term reserved only for the cherry version of this eggy baked pancake.

How To Salt Cure Salmon (Lox) at Home
If there was a favorite breakfast food at our house it would be a lightly toasted bagel smeared with cream cheese, topped with smoked salmon, red onion and capers. You know what I’m talking about — lox. It makes our world go round, but sadly it can be a little harsh on the pocketbook… unless you salt cure it at home like we do!

Recipe: Enriched Cream of Wheat with Egg and Vanilla
Elizabeth’s recent post on Cream of WheatliverwurstontoastUnlike my other breakfast staple, steel cut oats, Cream of Wheat is best eaten right away while it’s hot. So this recipe is for two, or a double helping for one.

Recipe: Overnight Oatmeal with Apricots and Buttermilk
Well, at least two readers immediately wanted the recipe! We adore steel-cut oats too, so when Louie C kindly gave us the recipe we tested and ate it twice. Here it is, for your morning oatmeal enjoyment! My cooker has only one temperature, which is quite high, and as a result I’ve never successfully made this — I end up with a thick gummy crust on the bottom and top which has to be scraped off and thrown away — it’s a real waste.

The Best Waffle You’ll Ever Eat: Gaufres de Liege Guest Post from Chichi of My Chalkboard Fridge
Can you love a waffle so much that it becomes essentially impossible to do justice to its magnificence? The first time I tried Gaufres de Liege I was in Amsterdam, where the waffles must have migrated and settled. The vendor was located on the museumplein near the Rijksmuseum Amsterdam and the Van Gogh museum. Served with a modest dusting of powdered sugar, the waffles were golden and crispy on the surface, with a chewy yet tender crumb within.

Brunch Recipe: Homemade Bialys
Bialys are cousin to the bagel. They’re not boiled, just baked. And instead of a hole in the middle, these are stuffed with something savory, like caramelized onions, poppy seeds, or garlic and butter. All too often, we only get a tantalizing bite or two of that delicious filling. And this is why we like to make bialys at home where we can stuff them as much as we like.

If they’re as big a part of your week as they are mine, you’re likely well-acquainted with the tried-and-true method of boiling eggs on the stovetop, but that is far from the only way to make them.

Recipe: Bean Chilaquiles with Avocado & Queso Fresco
Here’s a classic one-dish Mexican breakfast originally conceived as a way to use up leftover tortillas. It doesn’t usually include beans, but this version was invented one hungry morning when a perusal of the refrigerator turned up some leftover cooked beans, a half-jar of salsa and a few other odds and ends. Don’t worry if you don’t have all the ingredients. As long as you have the beans, salsa, tortillas and eggs, the dish will satisfy.

Recipe: Modern Green Bean Casserole
This casserole, the beloved green bean casserole invented in the Campbell’s Soup corporate test kitchen, is over 50 years old and sorely in need of an update. Sorry, Campbell’s (and Del Monte, and French’s) — as much as I love you, none of y’all are invited to this party. I will admit to having a true fondness for the casserole, especially the French-fried onion part of the equation, but it’s time for a change.

Recipe: Lemon and Honey Fruit Salad
It’s May and the sun is shining here – is it where you are? We celebrated the sun with this simple fruit salad of melon, strawberries, and bananas, tossed with a tangy dressing of lemon and honey and just a hint of nutmeg. It was a sunny start to our day, but would be just as good in the evening with a dollop of crème fraiche or ice cream for a light dessert.

Recipe: Peach and Spice Tea Muffins
There’s nothing like a hot, steaming muffin and a cup of tea to get us out of bed in the morning. Muffins are portable and endlessly flexible; nearly any quick bread or cupcake recipe can be made into a muffin. They can be sweet, nutty, refined, or whole grain. These muffins were born out of our love of tea – especially tea with citrus and spices – and a packet of dried peaches.

Hunk o’ Fruit: Bill Granger’s Oat, Pear, and Raspberry Loaf
It’s not often that we buy a cookbook for just one recipe, but we confess we did that here. All it took was one photo…The Oat, Pear, and Raspberry Loaf is from bills open kitchen (his lack of proper capitalization/punctuation, not ours, we hasten to add) by Bill Granger, and it was the first thing that greeted us as we flipped through this book at a used-book store.The whole grains of the oats and the oozing streak of jammy pear-and-raspberry fruitiness stopped us cold.

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…We’ve waxed rhapsodic about steel-cut oats in the past and we’re not about to quit. Steel-cut oats are far less gummy and thick than flat-rolled oats.

Recipe: Zucchini and Asparagus Strata
I’m ready to hit the Chicago farmers markets this week and stock up on all the super-fresh local produce I’ve been craving since last fall. I’ll most likely bring home as much as I can carry, and then I’ll be faced with the happy task of finding ways to prepare and eat it. This is one recipe I know we’ll be turning to, especially because it can be so easily adapted to use whatever ingredients look best.

Cooking Without Recipes: How To Make Streusel or Crumble Topping for Baked Fruit
We’ve been talking consistently this month about learning to cook without recipes. We have a few formulas and basic recipes that let us create free-form dishes on the spur of the moment. When it comes to dessert, one of these is crumble topping for baked fruit.We love apple crisp, berry crumble, and all kinds of baked fruit with crumbly, oaty, sweet crispy toppings. The basic formula for a crumble topping is very easy, and it can be switched up easily depending on the fruit underneath.

Recipe: Strawberry Yogurt Lassi
It’s not officially summer quite yet, but the recent temperatures here in New York say otherwise. I decided to take advantage of the early days of strawberry season and cool off with an icy strawberry lassi. A lassi is a traditional Punjabi drink made with yogurt. The most traditional forms are salty, rather than sweet, and are believed to aid digestion. Sweet lassis often feature mango, sometimes with rosewater.

Recipe: Strawberry-Yogurt Popsicles
Summertime! Is there anything better than a cool, creamy popsicle on a scorching hot afternoon? Or for that matter, a scorching hot morning? These fruity yogurt pops can serve as both breakfast and afternoon snack, a fact to which I can personally attest. I recommend having a batch in your freezer at all times. I love how the fresh strawberry flavor mingles with the tanginess of the yogurt in these popsicles. It’s a perfect balance.

Recipe: Whole Wheat Raisin English Muffins
It’s a sick day for me, so I’m working at home on some recipes. With a congested head, I made the first mistake in cooking: I didn’t check to see if I had all the ingredients I needed before starting to test my winter breakfast bread wreath, so you’ll have to wait until tomorrow’s email for that.I didn’t have enough butter. Ouch, the yeast was already dissolving in warm water and the flour was already out. What’s a cook to do? Make English Muffins.

Recipe: Holiday Breakfast Wreath
I’ve been writing about this wreath on the site since 2008, each year updating the story, because I think it’s worth reminding you how perfect this bread is to start a holiday morning. When I say I make it every year, I’m not kidding. It weaves its way deeper and deeper into our family’s memory each holiday.

Recipe: Ginger Applesauce Cake
This recipe immediately grabbed our attention as we flipped through Picture Yourself Cooking with Kids by Beth Sheresh. A warm, fluffy cake has appeal for both kids and adults, and the directions are straightforward enough that kids can have a hand in every step. Plus, the fact that it includes both oats and maple syrup means we can eat it for breakfast, right? Not too sweet, with a blend of warm spices and bits of nuts, this cake is wonderful still warm from the oven.

Recipe: Fried Eggs & Collard Greens over Polenta
Breakfast doesn’t get much better than this. I’m talking about tangles of tender collards cooked with bacon (and yes, oh yes, bacon fat), sharing a plate with soft polenta and a perfectly fried egg. If you can wait a whole 10 seconds before breaking that yolk and making a total mess of the plate, you have far more willpower than me.

Breakfast Mocktail: Orange and Elderflower Spritzer
Do you drink cocktails with your morning meal or weekend brunch? Cocktails are a little much for us at 8am, but sometimes we do like a glass of something special with our coffee and yogurt. Enter the breakfast mocktail.We don’t drink a lot of straight juice; it’s quite filling and we prefer to just sip coffee most mornings. But some summer breakfasts call for something more, something fun. So we make mocktails.

Recipe: Apricot Breakfast Pie
Years back, I found myself in Italy with quite a lot of apricots. In Florence, I bought a very generous kilo of fresh, ripe apricots from a little farm stall on the Piazza Santo Spirito. My daughter and I ate quite a few of them as we strolled around the city. Then we had some for breakfast the next day, then a couple more in the rental car as we made our way down to Chianti, where we would stay another week with friends and where I would finally get my hands into a kitchen.

Summer Recipe: Peach & Ginger Hand Pies
If there’s anything better than homemade pie, it’s a petite and crusty hand pie that you can claim as your own and nibble at leisure. And if there’s anything better than a hand pie, it’s one that’s filled with jammy summer peaches and just a touch of spicy ginger. Don’t you think? These hand pies are just the thing to take to summer picnics or even slip into a lunch box as a special treat.

Breakfast Recipe: Scrambled Eggs with Fresh Corn, Goat Cheese & Tomatoes
We’re in the wonderful stage of summer when sweet corn and perfectly ripe tomatoes are taking over the markets. There are so many ways to take advantage of this, but my favorite is breakfast. If you haven’t tried corn and eggs together yet, maybe this will entice you. This meal could be breakfast or dinner. In fact, I ate it for lunch, and it really does take just 10 minutes to make — could be less, depending on how thick your tomato slices are.

Recipe: Butternut Squash, Sage, and Parmesan Pasties
Ever since we visited Cornwallfarmers’ market We should probably get this out of the way first: these aren’t traditional Cornish pasties, and we hope not to be chastised by the pasty police! For a humble little (or large, as the case may be) hand pie, the pasty engenders much passion and controversy.

Recipe: Hearty & Healthy Apple Muffins
Could whole wheat apple muffins made without eggs, dairy, sugar, or leavening agents possibly be any good? Well, apparently these ones were memorable enough that, many years after tasting them at the age of eight, I found myself craving them again.An email to my mother, followed by a phone call to a family friend, revealed that the recipe originally came from Edward and Wendy Esko’s Macrobiotic Cooking for Everyone.

Recipe: Mocha Crunch Steel-Cut Oatmeal
Oatmeal is one of the healthiest breakfasts you can eat, and I usually like to keep the toppings pretty simple. But once in a while, why not make it just a little indulgent? Adding rich espresso and cocoa powder – and just a few nuts and chocolate chips on top – combines my morning bowl of oatmeal with my favorite winter drink, the mocha. The espresso and cocoa powder give the oatmeal lots of rich flavor, and a few chocolate chips on top just puts it over the top.

Recipe: Vietnamese Ginger Crab
Oh boy. Out of all the Dungeness crab dishes I’ve cooked lately, my boyfriend says this one is his favorite. It’s made with lots of ginger, some garlic, cilantro, and a little bit of soy sauce, and it’s so fragrant. The seasonings pair so well with the delicate, succulent crab. I like to cook some Asian noodles with this and use them to soak up the leftover seasonings.
