Pho bo—Vietnamese beef noodle soup—may be more popular in the states, but its cousin pho ga, made with chicken, is easier to make, and in my book, just as tasty. What if I told you that you could make a superb bowl of Vietnamese chicken noodle soup with rich, aromatic broth and fall-off-the-bone tender […]
Grilled Trout with Savory Marinade
Trout and summer savory form an ideal marriage. Both are mild-mannered, so they blend beautifully, neither upstaging the other. Serve the dish with equally mellow vegetables, such as buttered green beans and grilled or roasted potatoes.
Pan-Seared Scallops with Chorizo and Corn
Treat scallops to the flavorful oil left behind when you cook chorizo—it’s basically liquid gold.
Greek Spinach and Feta Pie (Spanakopita)
Microwaving, chopping, and then ridding mature fresh spinach of excess water gave our spanakopita recipe bold spinach flavor. To buffer the assertiveness of feta and to add textural contrast, we added Greek yogurt to the spanakopita recipe. We chose to bake our spanakopita on a baking sheet. Its sides were short enough to allow […]

Tomato Galette
You know how you’re biologically wired to salivate like a dripping air conditioner when you smell the combination of baking dough, cheese, garlic, and tomato?That would be pizza.

Roasted Tomato Soup with Ricotta Matzah Balls

Pasta alla Gricia
Guanciale, black pepper, Pecorino Romano, and pasta come together in a study of delicious minimalism.When it comes to the four main pasta dishes of Roman cuisine (carbonara, amatriciana, gricia, and cacio e pepe), pasta alla gricia is criminally overlooked and underappreciated. It's time to put an end to all that. It's time to celebrate […]
