The July/August 2018 issue of Eating Well has, as you might expect, some terrific recipes taking advantage of summer harvests. This recipe from Julia Clancy, a recipe developer from EatingWell, is a perfect example. Is there anything better than a hot-off-the-vine tomato? I don’t think so. I’ve been intimidated by making my own polenta…

We are in the middle of a New England heat wave, so I’m making an attempt not to heat up our living space beyond tolerable. So with that goal in mind, I went on an Internet search for summer vegetarian salads and came up with this gem from Food & Wine’s September 2009 issue. Summer…

Today is Adrien’s birthday and, I will be cooking tonight’s celebratory meal. While I am a big fan of birthday cake, he is not. So we are having a very un-birthday like dessert: chocolate mousse. The absolute best chocolate mousse we have ever eaten was served at a lovely Paris restaurant in the Marais just a…

When we were both working full-time, Adrien and I would plan a stir-fry meal which used one of those bottled Asian-style sauces as a starting point.

This recipe from Martha Rose Shulman is a great weeknight meal because it comes together quickly. Tonight, the dish was paired with a delightful and slightly mineral-ly Assyrtiko from Santorini which I picked up…

I’ve been doing a lot of cooking from Myers+Chang At Home lately and enjoying their Asian inspired cooking quite a bit. This is the latest attempt from this book: Pan-Roasted Soy-Glazed Salmon with Cool Cucumber Salad. (see page 130 of the Myers+Chang At Home cookbook for recipe details). While I didn’t go for the Crispy…

The recipe for this is purposely MIA today. Meyers + Chang At Home is not only a cookbook it is a primer on Asian cooking that should not be missed. Want to know how to shape dumplings? Shop for Asian food products? This is the book. Seriously. Go get it. The first dish I tried was…

Long ago, I received Deborah Madison’s Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone as a gift. It became one of my essential go-to cookbooks. So I was particularly excited to hear about Deborah Madison’s new book In My Kitchen. Because this is a brand, new publication, I have not included the recipe – trust me, you will want to purchase…
