Essential Pepin: Crab Cakes with Avocado Salsa
Remember when I made crab cakes before? Let’s let the computer screen get all wavy as we recall that recipe… It was a bit crazy-making. And the results, while good, didn’t justify the time and expense, let alone the beginnings of … Continue reading
Essential Pepin: Carrot and Sunflower Seed Salad on (whoops!) Red Leaf Lettuce
Yumyumyumyumyumyumyumyumyumyumyum. Too ambiguous? So good. Make it now. I love these kinds of salads. Crunchy, sweet, tangy and nutty. I probably ate three servings worth in the form of pre-dinner nibbling. Unfortunately I forgot to set it atop its bed of … Continue reading

Girl in the Kitchen: Tomato and Cashew Soubise
There’s something about a good rice dish for me — I could make an entire meal out of it. This one is SO good and so unexpected. As I was stirring the par-cooked rice, sliced onions, canned tomatoes, cashews and … Continue reading

Girl in the Kitchen: Smoked Ham Hock and Leek Soup
Once again my friend Stephanie displays her deep and abiding love of croutons. What a girl. And what I love about how she uses them here is that it’s so much more practical in terms of getting the bread efficiently into your … Continue reading

Chocolate Truffles
I’m kind of mad at these truffles. From the January/February 2012 issue of Cook’s Illustrated, this was indeed one of the easiest truffle recipes I’ve ever come across. No double boiler, no tempering. You don’t even have to chop the … Continue reading
