Caramelized Onion Dip

Please see Part 1 of my thrilling archeological excavation of two beloved and thought-to-be-lost-forever appetizer recipes. Q: Kate, American leads the world in onion dip production, why are you putting another recipe out there? A: Because it's better than what you're...

Artichoke and Spinach Relish with Walnuts

Friends, if you've ever lost a recipe you truly loved you will understand my excitement today. For I have recovered two of my favorite appetizer recipes thanks to other bloggers (and some dodgy sites that may now be harvesting my data or something idk). These were...

Pasta al Pomodoro

  Hope you are all enjoying a safe and happy Tomato Season. For many of us, it's a celebratory time; a time to consume tomatoes every way we can imagine: BLTs, bruschetta, panzanella, galettes, caprese salads, tomato tarts, gazpacho... And fresh tomato sauce....

Blueberry Cream Pie

Get a load of this stunner. If summer were a pie... The blueberry flavor is optimized and heightened by combining whole berries with a blueberry puree and finished with a touch of lemon. All poured into a graham cracker crust and topped with a heavenly alloy of...

Cherry Pie

Cherry pie is my favorite pie I don't even have to think about it. Last week I managed to hit the farmer's market at the exact right moment to get the tart cherries I needed for this recipe and therefore achieved pie nirvana and am now deceased. I did not grow up...

Blueberry Biscuits

I was intrigued by this recipe when it took a certainly nonconsensual ride on the social media rollercoaster on a facebook cooking group I belong to. It went like this: popular>wildly popular>backlash ("would people PLEASE stop posting about these biscuits!" and...

Pork, Fennel, and Lemon Ragu with Pappardelle

Cornmeal Lime Shortbread Fans

  Recipe first, blah, blah, blah later. God I'm already so tired of sweets and it's only December 11th. But we must persevere. There are so many cookies, candies and pies to eat before we're done. This recipe was part of a brilliant article by the brilliant...

Classic Martini

I know everyone is joking about how much drinking is going on right now. Oh, were you waiting for a "but..." and then something witty? Something Nick-and-Nora-Charles-ish? No time for that because I need to talk about my new hobby: the Classic Martini. It's taken me a...

French Summer Sandwiches with Zucchini and Olive Tapenade

I'm going to assume we've all had it up to our masks hearing about Covid cooking. Sourdough starter, banana bread, air-frying, everyone's done it, blogged about it, made a Tik-Tok, and written a New York Times think piece. Whatever you're going to get out of this...

(David) Hasselback Challah French Toast

My book group meets on Sunday mornings and brunch is typically served, so when it's my turn I'm always looking for something that can be made ahead and is, of course, worthy of the fine women who attend. With a small amount of effort this dish from our friends at Real...
