Chicken Piccata with Radish Ramp & Pea Shoot Salad
We all need to jazz up a chicken breast from time-to-time and this quick recipe, inspired by a Naomi Pomeroy recipe in the Wall Street Journal, does so nicely. I’m a big fan of crispy, buttery chicken skin, so I’ll often ask the butcher to take several breasts off the bone while I stroll around…
Cabbage Salad with Toasted Coriander Mayonnaise
Toasted coriander seeds are the flavor of the season for me. My obsession kicked off with Daniel Klein’s recipe for chilled carrot soup, when I prepared the coriander yogurt garnish. I’ve toasted coriander seeds many times before, but this time, the warm-fresh fragrance off the hot pan swirled straight into my brain—on a day I…

Pan-Fried Cheese with Anchovy-Date Salad
Yes, that is fried cheese. It is every bit as delicious as you’d think it would be – crunchy and melty, a little salty and sweet, pretty much to die for. Thank you Melissa Clark – I asked for her new cookbook for Christmas, In the Kitchen With A Good Appetite, and I’ve been consistently…
On the Lighter Side
I am stuffed to the max from rich holiday foods. Even though I was successful in avoiding gluten and grains, the salt really catches up to me. Puff city. And after a week of heavier foods, salads, fish, and brothy soups just sound so right to me. While these recipes aren’t new, I thought you…
Abigail and Arthur’s Kale Salad
I first wrote about this recipe a few weeks ago when I described our trip to San Francisco. My friend Maud’s brother Arthur made a delicious kale salad for us, and I couldn’t wait to make it at home and post it for you. In the process of raving about it on Facebook, I found…
Couscous with Vegetables, Olives, & Raisins
Behold the world’s most perfect side dish. I’m not talking about the photo, which is meh (sorry, I was rushing this out to our National Night Out block party), but the dish itself, which is delicious and flexible and adaptable and easy and do-ahead. No lie. Serve it warm or serve it at room temperature. …
Tomato Salad with Burrata & Croutons
I know, I know. Another tomato salad. But bear with me for a minute, because of one special ingredient…burrata cheese. It’s fresh mozzarella, but with a creamier, tangier twist. I bought it at Whole Foods, in the cheese section, and haven’t looked back. Burrata is completely incredible with garden fresh tomatoes, even more so than…
