My first job as an editorial assistant in Midtown Manhattan was very close to a stop on the E train that had a Subway sandwich shop inside it: a Subway in the subway. I never made a habit of going, but on days that I was feeling particularly grumpy or unmotivated I would slink underground and buy a ...
Winter Tomatoes
This tomato recipe is my secret weapon for entertaining. I pretty much always make it when we are hosting brunch because it's so easy, it makes your house smell amazing, and it's a great compliment to egg dishes. There is no reason you couldn't serve it for dinner, too, but let's be honest--when was ...
Celery, Green Apple, and Walnut Salad
It's the week before Christmas and right smack dab in the middle of Hanukkah, which means that I should be writing about gingerbread or jelly doughnuts, or maybe frosted cookies or boozy eggnog. In fact, the very last thing I should be writing about is celery, which is at the top of every diet food ...
Roasted Vanilla Bean Apple Pear Sauce
I'm a very good cook, but my mother-in-law has me beat in several important categories, including all things poultry and potatoes. We are celebrating Hanukkah at her house this week, and of course she is making her amazing, perfectly crispy and golden brown latkes. They are one of Alex's all-time ...
Double Chocolate Granola
If we are friends, at some point in our relationship I have probably given you something to eat. Maybe it was a jar of jam or a batch of cookies, but most likely it was granola. Obviously, I love homemade food gifts, and granola holds a special place in my heart. It's simple to make, it lasts for ...
Crispy Chocolate Bark with Ginger, Fennel, and Sea Salt
If you cook half as much as I do, you probably have some favorite chefs and food writers. You recognize their names, and trust that their recipes will turn out right. I'm willing to bet that Ina Garten is on your list, as well as Chris Kimball, Deb Perlman of the Smitten Kitchen, and Melissa Clark ...
Carrot Soup with Orange, Cinnamon, and Ginger
When Owen was a newborn, I used to take him to Bloomingdale's in the Baby Bjorn. Our apartment in Brooklyn was right near the Q train, which runs express to 59th St. Despite what you may think, Bloomingdale's is actually very baby-friendly. You don't have to go outside to get from the subway into ...
Spinach Salad with Roasted Grapes and Warm Balsamic-Grape Vinaigrette
I am not a picky eater, by any means. The list of foods I dislike is short and unsurprising: green bell peppers, wasabi peas, raw clams, liver. Oh, and grape jelly. I positively loathe it. Nothing ruins a perfectly good diner experience like asking the server for jam for your toast and being told ...
Vegetable Ribbons with Garlic and Lime
Oh, Paula. Long ago we agreed to disagree about pretty much everything. I'm not ashamed to admit that I love vegging out in front of the Food Network. I'll even fess up to clogging our DVR with episodes of The Barefoot Contessa, Giada at Home, and even (gulp) The Pioneer Woman. But you and I have ...
No Bake Gluten-Free Vegan Apple Crumb Bars
You guys, vegan desserts are HARD. In the past couple of weeks, I've made a polenta cake, sea salt brownies, pecan squares, raspberry pudding, and two previous renditions of these apple crumb bars, all of which I deemed not good enough. Fortunately, Alex's coworkers were more than happy to take the ...
