When I think of plums, one of the first things that comes to mind is Little Jack Horner sitting in a corner. I’m sure you all know the famous nursery rhyme, the one in which Little Jack pulls a plum out of his Christmas pie. Well, no offense to Jack, but we can do a […]
Julia Turshen rocks my world. My copy of It’s All Good, the best-selling cookbook she co-wrote with Gwyneth Paltrow, is dog-eared, bookmarked and covered in curry from countless batches of my favorite Roasted Cauliflower + Chickpeas and Mustard. In addition to roasting vegetables with Gwyneth, Julia’s eaten kimchi with Jean-Georges and toured Spain with Mario Batali. […]
I absolutely love eggs for breakfast, if it isn’t already apparent. I can go for a homemade fritatta or eggs on toast any day of the week. Another favorite, baked eggs, is one I don’t eat often enough. Besides being delicious, it’s the perfect no-stress breakfast dish for a homemade brunch. Serve them in your […]
The fervor with which people rush to Starbucks to have their first Pumpkin Spice Latté of the season has become almost cliché; this year our neighborhood store launched it earlier than ever, and I observed customers actually sweating in the still-90 degree heat while they savored their first spicy sips. Even to a non-flavored coffee gal like […]
So thrilled to welcome Denise Kortlever of The Little Things blog today, with a special guest post featuring one of my favorite all-time desserts, a pavlova with cream. I love the idea of mastering one basic recipe, then getting major mileage out of it by changing up the presentation. Denise does just that by teaching […]
Even though summer’s almost over, I’m still having a complete love affair with its produce. I know our tendencies are all for heirlooms all the time, but the second I saw these plump green tomatoes, I knew there was an avocado toast in my future. It may not be battered, but these “fried” green tomatoes will […]
If you’re a regular reader, you may have caught on to the fact that Camille loves salads — she eats one for lunch most days of the work week, and is usually really, really excited about them. Typically, I’d make fun of her disproportionate salad enthusiasm, but to be totally honest, I’m the same way with my […]
With the anticipation of autumn looming in the air (and in our wardrobes… and our pantries…), we can’t stop dreaming of cooler weather and everything that comes with it. Just the thought of homemade apple pie, caramel dipped apples and piping hot cider makes me giddy for my favorite season of the year, and what better way to […]
Phoebe starts pre-school this Thursday. It’s only a couple mornings a week, but it already feels so surreal watching her try on her new backpack and adjust her pigtails as she gets ready to join the ranks of the “big kids.” How did 2-years-old come so quickly? Along with preschool comes another new milestone: school snacks! Such a […]
A husband and wife leave New York to travel West, and settle down in a little cabin in the woods. Could there be anything more idyllic? This is the real life story behind Erin Gleeson’s inspiring food blog and new cookbook, the Forest Feast. Each week, Erin creates simple yet delicious meals inspired by the seasonal […]
What better way to jazz up a Monday than with a tequila cocktail kicked up with jalapeño and (surprise!) tomatillos? I was super proud of my friend, blogger/artist/consultant Meg Biram (little known fact: she was one of my college besties!) when she told me she’d started subscribing to a CSA basket, since back in our college […]
While I eat my fare share of salads all year around, they really shine when summer produce reaches its peak and I can choose from the bounty of sweet melons, heirloom tomatoes and an abundance of herbs at the market — often, a squeeze of lemon, drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil, salt and freshly ground […]
When I was pregnant, I read the book Bringing Up Bébé about the benefits of the French parenting style. In one scene, the author recounts an experience where she watched one of her friends bake a cake with her 3-year-old daughter — a relaxing weekend tradition that is de rigueur in many French households. Ever since, I’ve carried around a […]
To-may-to, To-mah-to! If you haven’t guessed from the dozens of recipes popping up in your Pinterest feed, it’s officially tomato season. I love buying local produce when I can, and the farm fresh tomatoes spilling over grocery and farmer’s market shelves (in a mouthwatering array of colors) makes it pretty easy this time of year. When you […]
