Cheddar Potato Soup

  I LOVE soup. In my mind, there are few things that make my day better than a bowl of warm soup with fresh baked bread. Of course, all my favorite soups are usually laden with cream, but that’s what makes them good right? This cheddar potato soup is the stick to your bones, kind […]

Tortilla Soup

This sopa de tortilla is a simple, homestyle tortilla soup like we had in Mexico. It is pureed for smoothness; contrasting colors, flavors and textures are added with garnishes. For the best results, ripe tomatoes are key—in non-summer months, we find Campari tomatoes to be a good option, as well as cherry or grape tomatoes. […]

Cabbage, Apples, and Kielbasa

  Cabbage, apples and sausage are a classic combination. We use kielbasa, a smoked sausage, but feel free to use whatever you have on hand, such as andouille or bratwurst. The sausages are sliced and combined with the other ingredients in the skillet, allowing their meaty flavor to permeate the dish. Any variety of apple […]

White Bean Soup with Rosemary and Parmesan

A sturdy soup that is a meal in itself, this is a popular dish in northern Italy, especially Tuscany, where the locals are nick-named mangiafagioli, or “bean eaters.” Feel free to substitute other dried beans such as chick-peas (garbanzo beans), white kidney beans or cannellini beans. If you like, garnish with croutons in addition to […]

Nacho Cheese Sauce

Sure, you could just pop the top on a jar of store-bought nacho cheese sauce, but what’s the fun in that? Even more importantly, what control does that give you? Not much: You can’t choose what kinds of cheese go into the sauce, nor how spicy it is, and whether you add pickled jalapeños or […]

Authentic Thai Massaman Curry with Chicken

Summer Minestrone with Pesto

In the hot summer, Italians often serve this satisfying soup chilled. Traditionally pesto is made with pine nuts, but they have been omitted in this recipe. Spoon the pesto directly on top of the soup, or pass a small bowl at the table for guests to help themselves.

Agrodolce Red Onions

Italian sweet and sour onions—called cipolline agrodolce—typically are small whole onions simmered with sugar and vinegar. But Ristorante Barbieri in Calabria uses sliced tropea onions, a variety that is a specialty of the region. We apply their technique to standard supermarket red onions. The slices are cooked briefly—just about 15 minutes—to soften them slightly. They […]
