Slow Cooker Cuban-style Pork
Halfway through Hispanic Heritage Month, I put my slow cooker to work for this easy, no-fuss version of one of Cuba’s most iconic dishes.
Sourdough Challah Round
The braiding technique is the easiest thing about these loaves, which are enriched with eggs, citrus-scented olive oil and sweet honey. The recipe takes time, but the reward is as sweet as my wish for you in the Jewish New Year.
Brie & Mushroom-stuffed Meatloaf
And if that doesn’t sound rich and comforting enough, let’s lay it down on a spoonful of French onion pan gravy. Aren’t you glad it’s the first day of fall?
Mexican Street Corn Guacamole
This flavorful twist on a classic guacamole is best made with an ancient culinary tool called a molcajete, but we can all thank Kenji López-Alt for an easy workaround with exceptional results!
Dubonnet & Gin (a cocktail for the Queen)
I spent a royal amount of time tramping around town to find the necessary ingredients for the Queen’s favorite daily cocktail. Was it worth it? Taste and see. 🙂
Miraculous Mayo Marinade
Every now and again, a technique comes along and surprises me, upsetting everything I thought I knew about cooking. This is one of those techniques, and it’s so simple!
Late Summer Succotash with Chicken & Waffles
This meal takes some time to prepare, but the combination of sauteed summer ingredients and lightened-up chicken & waffles is well worth the effort!
Pompatus of Love
True, peaches don’t grow on shrubs, but this delightful bourbon cocktail gets most of its personality from a peach “shrub” that’s so easy to make, I’m wondering why I never tried it before.
Not Quite Pizza Sauce
I had my sights on pizza sauce from the moment we knew we would have our first home-grown tomatoes in years. Everything came together beautifully. With one teeny problem…
A Pair of Peachy Keen Skillet Desserts
We are clinging to the end of fresh peach season here in the South, and I have two dessert options to share with you. Both are made in a skillet, and both are 100% delicious!
Ratatouille Shakshuka
I never get tired of rearranging ratatouille—eggplant, zucchini, red bell pepper, onions and tomatoes—and this time, I married the classic Provencal stew with a classic Jewish breakfast dish.
Summer Tomato Water Martini
This super-simple twist adds a bright, fresh, summery flair to an otherwise classic martini cocktail, and I have found myself slicing up tomatoes just so I can make another one.
Zucchini & Yellow Tomato Pizza
As my summer squash takes its final bow, the tomatoes are right on cue for center stage, and they were terrific companions on this fresh pizza. I just love this part of summer!
S’mores Brownies
Just when you thought s’mores couldn’t possibly get more ooey-gooey, sticky sweet and delicious—well, these!!!
Garden Veggie Spiral Quiche
This was equal parts cooking adventure and art project. Even with a few missteps, it was fun to recreate a dish I made five years ago.
