Olive Oil-Mashed Potatoes with Garlic and Basil

Between Sandy and the election, I’ve been distracted these past few weeks. I got up this morning and checked the calendar. I knew Thanksgiving was getting close, but I was a little surprised that this time two weeks from now I’ll  be brining my turkey and toasting my bread for the big day. And here’s

Italian Sausage Stew with Potatoes and Cabbage

It’s been a heck of a week for so many of us here on the east coast. David and I are fortunate. We lost four trees here at the rectory in Connecticut and were without power for five days. At our home in Pennsylvania there’s still no power, and we’ve got significant tree loss, but

Quick Red Chicken Chili for a Crowd

 ‘Sandy’ is all we’ve thought about for a week. Last week we wondered if it would hit. Then once we realized it would – and directly – we were all about preparedness. Then once we felt sufficiently prepared, we went into ‘hunkering’ mode. Then it arrived and hit us hard. We waited and wondered how

Braised Mustard Greens with Prosciutto

For years I grew up eating winter greens—collards, mustards, turnips, and kale—simmered for hours with a meaty ham hock or big block of salt pork. There’s a reason for this: greens cooked this way taste good! But as you lick the grease from your lips, you know there has to be a healthier cooking method.

Caramelized Onion and Blue Cheese Galette

I can see myself in New York twenty-five years from now, pie in one hand, cane in the other, at the twenty-seventh annual Pie Party Live. I’d reminisce about the early days… like this year when Maggy and I attended the second annual event hosted by party planners extraordinaire Jackie and Ken at the bustling GE

Harry & David Trip {DELICIOUS GIVEAWAY CLOSED}

Who doesn’t know Harry & David?! When I was growing up I remember our family frequently getting boxes of Harry & David fruit at Christmas–crisp apples, tender pears, and juicy citrus. A few weeks ago I got to visit the place where all that succulent fruit comes from! I was part of a Harry &

Indian Burritos and a Keys to the Kitchen GIVEAWAY {CLOSED}

These incredible Indian “Burritos” are from Aida Mollenkamp‘s brand spankin’ new cookbook, Keys to the Kitchen: The Essential Reference for Becoming a More Accomplished, Adventurous Cook.

Garlicky Shrimp with White Beans and Tomatoes

Each month when Bon Appetit  arrives, I read it cover to cover like a book. I absorb so much information about everything from food trends and flavor combinations to techniques and must-try restaurants. And, of course, I get a lot of inspiration from the recipes. Like a cookbook, I’ll often make it exactly as the recipe says
