An Homage to Gourmet
Well its been a few weeks, and I think I’m finally adjusting to the fact that Gourmet is gone. But thankfully, the entire magazine (at least, all of the recipes) has always been archived online, at Epicurious. And after picking up 8 million leeks at our second-to-last CSA this week, give or take one or … Read more
The Making of Pasta
Yesterday the weather was absolutely disgusting, and so while I was out shopping with M, we ducked into Broadway Panhandler. For those of you that don’t know, the Panhandler is the poor man’s Sur La Table. Anyways, we spent the better part of the hour browsing for kitchen appliances that we didn’t need, and then … Read more
Okay, I know, I have a habit of disappearing.
But (there’s always a but): it was the long weekend, I had tons of work, several projects are coming up due, yadda yadda yadda I’ve got more if you need them. I had no idea making the transition back to fall (among other things) would be so hard! But I’m here now. Isn’t that worth … Read more
Simple Sundays: Swiss Chard Pasta
We had leftover everything in our house: mascarpone from our eggplant lasagne, wilting Swiss chard from last weeks CSA, and half an onion that someone left in the fridge. We always have pasta, so I concocted a quick dish that would be a little bit healthy, a little bit creamy, and wouldn’t waste what we … Read more
Call For Tasters
As I keep saying (probably more out of stress, less out of excitement) the launch of Authors in the Kitchen is just around the corner. This weekend, as part of an entire month of finishing touches, is food photography weekend. So many authors passed on delicious recipes to me, that I (naively?) want to include … Read more
Top Secret Gin & Tonics
Coming this September, as I must have mentioned a million times, is my “Authors in the Kitchen” project. A friend of mine, who is a writer and also a fabulous bartender (and chef!) gave me her Limey Gin & Tonic recipe for the project. Trust me, you should get excited about it. I can’t share … Read more
Oh Julia: Gratin Dauphinois
I am writing this post in the 95 degree heat in my un-airconditioned apartment, the sun beaming in (and the fan BLASTING). Fortunately, I am also enjoying a bowl of yogurt with fresh blackberries, courtesy of our CSA: finally they realized berries were in season! They also realized, after a fairly disappointing last two weeks, … Read more
World’s Best Lasagne: Eggplant
Last night, my roommates and I stayed in and cooked ourselves up a giant lasagne… and then proceeded to devour the entire thing in one sitting (well, almost the entire thing – J’s brother showed up to help us finish it off). This might now officially be not only my favorite way to cook eggplant, … Read more
Eggplants
Fresh from the farm and soon to become Eggplant Lasagne! Dinner’s at 7
My Mom’s Corn Salad
This one goes out to my mom – who, immediately after seeing Julie & Julia, called me to chat about my blog AND point out that her corn salad is better than my corn salad. Admission: it is. So on Monday night (yes, I’m behind, I know!) she emailed it over to me and I … Read more
