We have some big food holidays coming up, and I have a recipe that will steal the show. To be clear, this isn’t my recipe. Rather, it’s a recipe I have wondered about for years, which, quite by magic, was delivered straight to my door, and maybe yours...

Last column I wrote that I am currently on a pretty limited diet that cuts out certain types of carbs — FODMAP for short (the full acronym stands for Fermentable Oligosaccharides, Disaccharides, Monosaccharides and Polyols). Well, it turns out that a...

Have you ever loved something that hurt you? I’m not referring to a bad relationship — rather, a dish that you love, but your body hates? Maybe it’s something that gives you a headache, or makes your tummy uncomfortable. For me, it’s this sweet and...

Not quite 30 years ago, I studied in Manhattan. I had my first computer and went online for the first time. Back then I still found most of my news from actual newspapers, and social media didn’t exist. Even though the “Seinfeld Diner” was practically...

I’ll be first to admit that I look to restaurants for menu inspiration in my own kitchen. Broccoli Caesar Kimchi Salad from Vegan Pizzaland, I’m looking at you. And my friend Andrew, to whom I totally owe the recipe for the Kale Caesar Salad from Paul...

My late mother used to swear that the only thing I ate until the age of 12 was broccoli. My sister agrees, and a family friend once reminisced about my being in a high chair, too young to form full sentences, but making my points using fistfuls of...

With the CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) program starting back up for the season, my kitchen is full of greens, just as it is every year around this time. I’m not complaining. In fact, my go-to brunch dish I cook up for my husband for his...

For my birthday this year, I received an unexpected call from a local florist, double checking that I’d be home for delivery. A few hours later, to my total surprise and utter delight, an enormous fruit basket arrived.It was a gift from my supervisor...

I stood before my cookbook collection of about 300 or so, which line a wall of my dining room, and I asked myself, “Whose mashed potatoes would I want to eat?”Let me rewind to St. Patrick’s Day. My husband, who is technically Irish (but among many...

I went back and forth about sharing this bread pudding recipe so close to spring. In fact, my beloved CSA wrote to remind me about remaining available shares and that spring was just days away. However, I didn’t see the email right away because the...

Cabbage, like cauliflower last year and kale before that, is having a moment. Last week, The Washington Post offered a recipe for shredded, roasted cabbage, served with jammy eggs and quinoa. The New York Times recently suggested grilling wedges of...

I’ve been on a bit of a salad binge lately. This is not a New Year’s resolution, mind you – past pandemic resolutions have included eating more burritos (mildly successful), and eating things that really hit the spot (wonderfully successful). This...

A few weeks back, my girls went apple picking with family friends and returned with far too many apples. I went through my usual repertoire of fall baked goods, which included a very simple Shaker apple cake recipe that I adore, and a Mollie Katzen...
