Five Recipes You Should Try
I’ve been taking a break from work for the last few months, which means my kitchen has been cranking out many a weeknight meal. I think I set the bar too high. A recent review of my rigatoni in vodka sauce from my 9 year old went something like this: “It’s good but it’s not […]

Cooking In Tonight
Bubble tea, bagels, enchiladas…I think one day a year, Uber will bring me a puppy if I want. Where we live, I can get pretty much anything delivered to my house. I like ordering in (who doesn’t love to slurp up lo mein from a paper carton?), and I love eating at restaurants (bring me food […]

Cabbage with Crunchy Spices
I can’t say it is Roald Dahl’s fault, but I think we could agree that he played a hand in it. Cabbage soup for lunch. Cabbage soup for supper. Watery cabbage soup that left you with a horrible empty feeling in your stomach. Remember that from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory? I adore Roald Dahl […]

10 Vegetarian Thanksgiving Recipes
It’s not Thanksgiving until I have been asked “What do you eat for Thanksgiving?” Translation: what do vegetarians eat for Thanksgiving? With no turkey as the centerpiece, Thanksgiving is a wide open canvas for vegetarians. The menu generally centers around a decadent eggplant parmesan or Indian main dishes prepared more richly than normal (read: cream in […]

Chili Paste for Putting on Everything
For weeks, I have been dreaming about making a vegetarian version of this Harissa-Lamb Skillet Lasagna from Food and Wine Magazine.

My Dad passed away. It’s been just a little over 100 days. Food is an interesting thing when you lose a loved one. Eating it, thinking about it, writing about it – it all seems trivial compared to the loss. On the other hand, my connection to food is so deeply grounded in my relationship with and […]

Blizzard Recipe Roundup
My first thought when I heard of the impending blizzard bearing down upon the Northeast was to consider what I would cook. Not in a practical what-will-I-cook-that-can-sustain-a-loss-of-electricity way. More in a what-deliciousness-can-I-make-then-curl-up-on-my-sofa-and-eat way. My plans for tomorrow include making a creamy, crunchy mac n cheese. Here are some of my favorite recipes that might warm […]

Coconut Cashew Potatoes
I’ve been meaning to tell you about this potato recipe for ages. It’s a go to recipe of mine for dinner parties where I need a decadent main dish. It’s the kind of dish that no one can dislike. Well, except for friends with nut allergies and most small children. They will not be fans. […]

Sweet Corn Curry
This dish is so easy to make, so delicious to eat, so fragrant to smell and so pretty to look at that you have to make it. Trust me. Mouthfuls of sweet crunchy corn in a creamy mildly spiced coconut broth. It�EUR(TM)s equal parts curl up on your sofa in sweatpants and lay in a […]

Homemade Yogurt
White semi-gelatinous substance. Weirdly holds the shape of the container for too long. Chemical-y looking sheen. That’s how most standard store-bought yogurts can be described. The yogurt I grew up eating was creamy. Milky tasting. Sweet and tart and thick. It was also homemade. Making yogurt at home is one of three staples of a South […]
