Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

Steamed white fish with fennel and lime

Tomatillo and Green Grape Gazpacho
I first made this last summer, in what I'm calling the summer of chilled soups because of all the blending and chilling I did. This summer, lacking a blender (...)

Mom's beef stew
So, I'm really sorry about slacking on the blog. You might remember we experienced a similar slow-down, reduced to a trickle and then nothing at all, while I (...)

Penne with broccoli rabe and pancetta
I'll admit that I was a little nervous when I made this a couple of weeks ago while still in NYC. I had a feeling that R was not going to necessarily (...)

Gingerbread cinnamon rolls with coffee molasses icing
I know things have been lagging around here a bit. So I've recruited my baker-friend extraordinaire Todd for a couple of guest posts (you'll remember Todd from (...)

Apple Sauce Jellies
I've been getting more into candy making lately (I've always been into eating it), and I guess it's been fairly obvious because when a review copy of Nina (...)

Norwegian beef stew Lapskaus

Savoiardi ladyfingers italian style
I have had a bear of a time with ladyfingers. I'm sure it's been my fault each time, but they have just never worked out for me before now. The first recipe I (...)

Spiced Cranberry Apple Sauce
Did you know that cranberry sauce is actually a condiment, and not a side dish? Crazy, huh? I know! Because my sister and I grew up on my mother's Spiced (...)

Speculoos No-Bake Granola
I feel like this post could be about so many things. Like the jars of speculoos spread I've been finding in all the French grocery stores. It's just exactly (...)

Gorgonzola stuffed Pears
So here's my learn-French plan. Well, I should back up. I know some French. I read a lot of French. Tons, actually, for hours and hours every day. But it's all (...)

Sausage and beef kebabs
This is it. This is my last recipe saved up from New York. After this, it will be all Paris apartment cooking, all the time. That is until December when I will (...)
