Review: My Father’s Daughter

by Kate | Jul 23, 2011 | My Father's Daughter

So we all know that the world’s reaction was to a cookbook by Gwyenth Paltrow, star of stage and screen (large and small), hopelessly blond and thin, child of bi-coastal privilege and mother of what I think we’re all just assuming are children (think about...

My Father’s Daughter: Macaroni & Cheese (One Way)

by Kate | Jul 21, 2011 | My Father's Daughter

The real title of this recipe is Macaroni & Cheese (A Few Ways) but I only made one so…full disclosure. Here’s a funny thing: I have never, ever, in my life had Kraft Macaroni and Cheese. I don’t know how that could be since I ate every other...

I’m going to make a bold statement here so stop reading if you don’t like your beliefs challenged: Pancakes are hard to make. Everybody makes them, or has made them, and yet it’s taken me an awfully long time to perfect mine. Making a souffle was...

My Father’s Daughter: Artichoke and Parmesan Frittata

by Kate | Jul 10, 2011 | My Father's Daughter

This is very serviceable frittata but not the best one I’ve ever made. I prefer the thicker, heartier versions I’ve made before use 12 eggs vs. the 6 in this recipe. I have come to truly love and appreciate frittatas. It’s like a great, big, easy...
