While it would be easy to claim it is too hot to cook today, my better angels took over the decision-making for meal prep. This recipe was part of the plan on food shopping day and with some beautiful looking fresh ingredients waiting to be put to use, how could I resist? Yasmin Fahr, who…

Recently, my cooking has been inspired by some genealogical research into my Sicilian family. My sisters and I have been uncovering our family history in Linguaglossa, Sicily and, while the recipes I’ve been experimenting with are not from Sicily, they are rooted in Italy and its culture. This soup, makes a huge pot of green…

When we were all working or going to school, using a slow cooker – which we always called a Crock Pot – was standard kitchen practice. Two parents coming home after a long workday and a hungry kid, just a little prep the night before and we returned from our respective workplaces to a home…

After a pretty long break, I’ve broken out my camera and gear and worked on photographing food we make in 2024. Just a wee bit rusty with the lighting gear so this shot was done using natural light.

We are still in THTC (too-hot-to-cook) mode here with at least another couple of days of extreme heat coming at us. So this delicious vegetarian recipe for Silken Tofu with Spicy Soy Dressing from cookbook author and NYTimes cooking contributor Hetty Lui McKinnon made perfect sense: no-cook, 5 minutes prep time, and bam! Dinner is served. Be sure to…

Ann Maloney is a Washington Post Recipes Editor and Food Reporter focused on, in her words, “quick and easy home cooking.” Honestly, what’s not to like here? Her recipe for Quick Lentil Salmon Salad is adapted from Cooking Light and comes together in about the same time as it takes to cook the lentil. It…

After a short period of travel and a break from cooking, we’ve been a bit lax in home cooking. Last night’s dinner was inspired by a video posted on Jacques Pepin’s Instagram, his regular “Budget Tuesday” offering. I am frequently in awe of Chef’s ability to instruct those of us who are not professionals in…
