The Essential New York Times Cookbook: Zucchini Carpaccio with Avocado

The Essential New York Times Cookbook: Zucchini Carpaccio with Avocado

by Kate | May 12, 2011 | The Essential New York Times Cookbook

I was not wowed by this dish but I think it has potential. The instructions tell you to slice the zucchini as thinly as possible but you will realize that how thin you slice them will (duh) influence the number of slices you end up with. I had it in my head that this...
Review: The Essential New York Times Cookbook

Review: The Essential New York Times Cookbook

by Kate | May 12, 2011 | The Essential New York Times Cookbook

What can you say about a book that contains more than 1000 recipes?  That it is comprehensive and exciting and a bit overwhelming?  That the passion of the editor/author is apparent in every page?  That it could use some pictures?  You’ve probably heard by now...
The Essential New York Times Cookbook: Seared Tuna in Black Pepper Crust

The Essential New York Times Cookbook: Seared Tuna in Black Pepper Crust

by Kate | May 3, 2011 | The Essential New York Times Cookbook

  I adore tuna and I would eat it once a week if it weren’t $549/lb. Expensive fish makes me nervous.  Plus I’m a native Midwesterner so cooking fish well comes about as naturally as surfing.  But I love it so I keep trying to perfect my skills. This...

The Essential New York Times Cookbook: Pasta a la Vodka

by Kate | May 2, 2011 | The Essential New York Times Cookbook

As any Italian or Italian-cooking snob will tell you, Pasta a la Vodka is not authentic in any way. Even though it was, allegedly, created in Italy, it was only embraced by us ignorant Olive-Garden perpetrators. But love it we do and there are a few really good...
The Essential New York Times Cookbook: Spicy, Garlicky Cashew Chicken

The Essential New York Times Cookbook: Spicy, Garlicky Cashew Chicken

by Kate | Apr 13, 2011 | The Essential New York Times Cookbook

I’m going to need you to go out and make this immediately. And while you’re at it, you might as well corner the market on cashews because this could become your go-to dish of the summer. I mean, think about it: your smearing chicken with cashews. It...
The Essential New York Times Cookbook: Italian Roast Potatoes

The Essential New York Times Cookbook: Italian Roast Potatoes

by Kate | Apr 9, 2011 | The Essential New York Times Cookbook

Nice, right? I think I just invented potato porn. Not to stereotype myself but I am, in fact, Irish and I do, undoubtedly, love potatoes in all forms. I think real mashed potatoes were the first thing I ever learned to make. Even my mother, who has made not cooking...
