Hummus with Roasted Fennel, Garlic, and Dill

In the coming week we’ll share more photos and stories, but in the meantime, here’s a nugget from Friday night’s opening reception…. A chilly wind whipped through [&hellip

Lavender Sugar

This week Mom, Sharon, and I are back in Murietta, California preparing for our second annual West Coast Big Potluck. We’re East Coast women, but each time we come to Southern California, we’re awe struck by the beauty and vibrancy of simple things we don’t typically see in  New York City and Atlanta–baskets overflowing with avocados, [&hellip

Spring Vegetables with Herbed Cornmeal Dumplings

As I look at this recipe—Spring Vegetables with Herbed Cornmeal Dumplings—I’m astounded at how much my cooking has evolved in just twelve years. In 2002 I published the original version of this recipe in my third book, CookSmart, which featured a six- to seven- pound-roasting hen, and a sauce calling for both butter and cream.  [&hellip

Simple Cioppino

There are some people who don’t like their food to touch. They make special divided plates just for these folks that are designed to keep their meat from touching their corn from touching their green beans from touching their potatoes. I discovered this week that they even make divided Tupperware to transport leftovers to work [&hellip

Soup Joumou

My first visit to Haiti was not long after the January 2010 earthquake. The inconceivable loss of hundreds of thousands of precious lives and the destruction of buildings and infrastructure was difficult to witness. Through my work, I’ve had the pleasure (and privilege) of traveling to Haiti many times since, and I’ve witnessed this incredible country rebuild. The [&hellip

The Palomnela

Another guest post by Sharon’s husband and family mixologist, Anthony Damelio. “You have to try something!” Carlos told me. I had already enjoyed a couple of his homemade drinks—all of which were exceptional—so I trusted him implicitly. “Do you like tequila and grapefruit?” he asked. “Of course! I’ve been experimenting with that myself, but I [&hellip

Salmon Bowl with Carrots, Spinach, and Potatoes

As we started to dress for our run this morning, I asked David to check the temperature. He resisted. Why bother? Just two days ago we had witnessed giddy New Yorkers basking in light and warmth we hadn’t seen in months.  It couldn’t be cold enough for extra layers this morning. I wasn’t so sure, [&hellip

Quick Coq au Vin

I used to use rotisserie chickens all the time. Not so much anymore. For one, we’ve cut back on our meat consumption, but it’s more because most rotisserie chickens are factory farmed. Now that there’s a Whole Foods five minutes down the road, it’s easy to get a an organic, free-range rotisserie chicken, so a [&hellip
