Anyone who enjoys food and cooking knows that summer offers the finest ingredients.

Deana Saukam’s Kuy Teav

“Growing up, my mother would make this dish every weekend for us at home,” says food and travel writer Deana Saukam. “This is a traditional Cambodian noodle soup and different variations are eaten throughout the country.

Grilled Octopus with Almond, Pepper & Raisin Chutney

I’m obsessed with grilled octopus and whenever I see it on a restaurant menu, I have to order it. But I’d always been a little intimidated to make it at home, until I read my friend Gaby’s recipe for octopus tacos in her genius new cookbook, and decided to try it myself. I couldn’t believe […]

Roasted Wild Salmon with Citrus, Chiles & Herbs

photography by Kristen Kilpatrick If I had to choose my go-to meal for serving a big crowd when I’m short on time, there’s no question it would be a whole roasted side of salmon. It’s a trick that I picked up in my first job as an event planner for a catering company — we […]

Charred Caprese Eggplants

I almost feel like it’s cheating to do another “caprese” recipe, because let’s face it: ANYTHING you stuff with tomatoes, basil, and fresh mozzarella is going to be delicious. But when I made these charred eggplants the other night for dinner, they were so ridiculously easy (in addition to being delish) that I knew I […]

Sunday Meatballs

Check out the full story here: Entertaining With Half Baked Harvest! From Tieghan: My brother Creighton is the most meat-loving human I know.

Creamy Polenta with Garlic-Butter Kale & Mushhrooms

Check out the full story here: Entertaining With Half Baked Harvest! From Tieghan: This recipe is for one giant bowl of comfort. I like to call it the single girl’s dinner: It’s Friday night and you have no plans, so you make a pot of polenta, cook up some kale in garlic butter, throw on […]

Butternut Squash Ravioli with Walnuts, Sage & Orange Brown Butter

When Adam and I were dating, we spent our first Valentine’s Day together around the little dining table in my apartment. We were already convinced that we’d rather spend any romantic occasion with just the two of us at home instead of an overcrowded restaurant (a tradition that still holds true today). I remember making […]

Pumpkin Channa Masala

We’re deep into pumpkin season and I think we can all admit that as cliché as the flavor can be this time of year, we still love it. There’s just something so perfect about opening up a can of that bright orange fruit to bake up a good ‘ole pumpkin pie, cake, or bread that makes […]

This Pozole Recipe Will Spice Up Your Next Date Night In

Living in Austin, I eat a ridiculous amount of Mexican food. Fajitas, guacamole, and margaritas (obvi) are on rotation around here, but one signature south-of-the-border dish I never really got into was pozole, a thick stew made with hominy, shredded pork, chiles, and lots of toppings. All that changed on last month’s trip to Charleston […]
