In 2006, just weeks after launching my internet food blog, I shared the recipe for Ice Cream Sandwich Cookies I had made for a rooftop birthday party for a close friend. What could go wrong with a batch of delicious, oversized cookies and a scoop of ice cream on a hot summer? Several things. First, cookies in the freezer can […]
Strawberry cheesecake ice-cream pie
Indeed, it is not glamorous, but I enjoy many aspects of pregnancy. You can wear elastic waist pants at all times. You get thick, shiny hair. It doesn’t last, but I will enjoy it if it’s the closest I can ever come to my Pantene Moment. It’s wrong, but secretly I want low expectations. I don’t care if […]
Bittersweet Chocolate and Pear Cake
Alex and I went to dinner with friends at Al Di La in Park Slope nearly two years ago. This funky, mom-and-pop Italian place is always packed but doesn’t accept reservations. There is no space to wait (unless you visit the wine bar next door). It’s helpful to know someone working there. Alex looked at their […]
Cherry clafoutis
You know what? I’m having a fantastic summer.

Carrot soup with tahini and crisped chickpeas

Just stir-fry cooked rice and add whatever you like — eggs, vegetables, meat, or seafood — then season it with garlic and soy sauce. In just 10 minutes, this single-skillet/wok meal is rea
Jim Lahey’s potato pizza
Even though I repeat this to myself, I am not obsessed with Jim Lahey. Today’s evidence shows that I am not obsessed with Jim Lahey …”. It’s not only me. Nearly two years after he created his no-knead loaf, I see food blogs making new and delicious adaptations. The same thing happened in the cab’s back seat […]
Spring Panzanella
Every morning I remind myself that spring hasn’t arrived yet. It’s still not spring. I quickly put away all the spring clothes I had bought and grabbed the lined pants and sweaters I had worn over a hundred thousand times. I read about the colorful strawberries at the Paris, San Francisco farmers’ markets. I visit my local [&helli
