Swedish Pea Soup
This isn’t exactly a Spring dish (see this Hearty Summer Soup for a more seasonal option), but it’s so delicious I’m going to post it anyhow. I’ve made split pea soup a million times, love it. I know that my dad & stepmom Susanna like it too, and since they were coming to stay for a few…
Here, There, & Everywhere
My son was confirmed over the weekend and we celebrated with a big dinner here at the house, catered by the always fantastic Silver Service. See highlights above from our fresh, flavorful spring meal, prepared by Chef Scott McKenzie and served gracefully by Aimee Hartogh and Robert Haarman. I love watching someone else cook in…
Silken Tofu with Soba Noodles
This is a quickie lunch or dinner idea, very basic but satisfying and packed with flavor. Remember when I first posted Mark Bittman-via-Jean-George’s ginger fried rice and commented that I’d be riffing on the delicious theme for years to come? Well here’s one riff. I was so taken with the crave-worthy combination of leeks sauteed…
Easy Cream Scones
You might think you don’t like scones, and I wouldn’t blame you. Coffee shop versions are often hideous—crumbly, dry little bricks. Good for making you thirsty for coffee, I guess, but not much else. Unless… You bake them yourself. Yes! Don’t worry, there’s nothing to making these easy, delicious scones except a good appetite. They…
Happy Birthday Cream Puffs
We kicked off my son’s 14th birthday celebration(s) with cream puffs for dessert tonight. Few desserts are as festive and impressive as cream puffs – who doesn’t love them? They’re so creamy…and puffy. (Yeah, sorry, I’m a little tired this evening. Suffice it to say they’re seriously good.) And…
Pizza with Potatoes, Pancetta, and Ramps
Have you noticed the buzz about ramps and wondered what’s up? Ramps are wild onions that taste like mild garlic and when they show up in markets, it’s a sure sign that spring has sprung. Lalalaaa! I suspect that’s why they make spring-fevered foodies a bit crazy. And like fava beans, morel mushrooms, and fiddle-head ferns,…
Chicken Lo Mein
I love family-friendly spaghetti with meat sauce as much as anyone (for a great recipe, check out the version my friend Maud posted on food52 this week, her mom’s famous recipe, secret ingredient…a pinch of curry powder, can’t wait to try it). But I like to mix up our pasta selections as well, especially given…
A Good Half Century
Given my husband John’s 50th birthday, preceded by my emergency root canal (ouch!), I’ve done precious little cooking this last week. But there’s been plenty of eating… (Sorry for the loss of the top of your head, Honey, I figured it was worth the shot of you enjoying those killer frites…) We kicked off the…
Leftovers for Lunch: Black Bean & Rice Burritos
When I serve rice for dinner, I make extra so I have leftovers for a delicious, easy lunch. Even still, given how much rice my family can put away, that means sneaking some out of the pot and into the fridge before we eat. I use the stolen rice the next day to make myself…
Seriously Good Grilled Lemon Shrimp
My previous solution to improve less-than-stellar shrimp was to fry them into crispy, golden submission. I still stand by that completely delicious method (who doesn’t like fried shrimp?), but I now offer a lighter, less messy – grilled! – option as well. And it is good, like seriously good. Here’s the skinny. This is yet…
