peach cobbler loaf
A friend asked me last week how long it takes to get a recipe right. I told him the only answer I know: As long as it takes. I’d like to be someone who could “adjust my expectations,” make peace with “close enough,” o…

cucumber salad with sesame and rice vinegar
It is an error that needs correcting that in the near-20 years of plugging recipes into this url, only a few truly star cucumbers — and highly unrepresentative too, given that we are probably eating some format of cuc…

spaghetti aglio e olio
Do you ever look around at the ingredients available to you, the energy you have to give to the cooking process — or, as I recently explained to a medium-sized child shortly before I got uninvited from future family ev…

house lemonade
I realize as far as recipes go, suggesting one needs one for lemonade is questionable. What’s next, a set of detailed instructions for salted water, simple syrup, or buttered noodles? ( Whoops! ) But it turns out I hav…

hot dogs with vinegared iceberg and potato chips
In something I never expected to have to clarify, this is a hot dog recipe but it is not a recipe for hot dogs. I know that I have a history of making foods from scratch that most sane people do not feel the need to —…

snow pea salad with avocado
One of my most exasperating traits — or, perhaps one that makes me ideally suited for this space I invented, coincidentally, to suit my collection of traits — is that I have a terrific amount of random ingredient prepa…

chicken salad for celery enthusiasts
I’m not sure if this is a sign of hitting a certain age — like a sudden interest in bird feeders (check, and please tell me about yours), or beekeeping (well, in the TikTok sense, not sorry ), and animated conversation…

raspberry swirl cheesecake bars
While I’m not from a cheesecake family — it is never unwelcome, but we are more deeply devoted to things like pastry creams , chocolate pudding , and stellar coffee cakes — I married into one, which means that even th…

braised leeks and lentils with arugula and yogurt
I’ve been pining for a springy way to combine leeks and lentils in an unfussy, one-pot, weeknight-friendly way but would get stuck on one thing: how annoying leeks are — and I say this from a place of adoration! I think leeks a…

black bean confetti salad 2.0
I was in Paris * last week — no, I cannot believe I get to utter sentences like that so casually, either, pinch me — and it was really, truly, and surprisingly spring. The magnolia trees at the Jardin du Palais Royal supplied …

banana chocolate chip cake
Somehow, despite how impossible it seems (to me, a person who has neither aged nor matured a day), that it’s been almost twenty years since I first told you about my family’s favorite coffee cake . It’s tall, plush, crisp with…

miso chicken and rice
How do you cook when your kitchen isn’t available for kitchen-ing? On a Sunday last April, I awoke at the crack of dawn jet-lagged from an (excellent) trip to Amsterdam* to an email from my apartment building that ConEd had fou…

crunchy brown butter baked carrots
My strongest opinion on Thanksgiving sides is that whenever possible, they should come in a casserole dish (or its chic French cousin, a gratin). I don’t mean that your sides should be limited to things that swim in cream, chee…

baked potatoes with crispy broccoli and bacon
Unless you’re living your life better than me (probably!), I bet it’s probably been way too long since you last had a baked potato for dinner — or, as they’re more charmingly called across the pond, “jacket potato.” And it’s a …

Friends, it’s snickerdoodle season. If you didn’t know that snickerdoodles had a season, let me paint a picture for you: you’re coming inside on a blustery and colder-than-you’d-expected October day so you hadn’t dressed for it…
