My understanding is that the bowl-lift Pro model is preferred by frequent bread-bakers. The tilt-head Artisan (which I've got, and love) jitters all over the counter when you knead dough with it f...

When I visit my real hometown (New York) from school, I bring back the fixings of a big Jewish brunch from Fairway: bagels, lox, and Ben's organic cream cheese. When I visit my adopted...

Greek yogurt with mustard, balsamic vinegar, and a couple of crushed cloves of garlic--it's what my family has always used, and it's delicious and light.

Another vote for mulberry!

oh, slipperymarshmallow, salted butter (ideally the cultured kind) and jam (ideally apricot, as far as I'm concerned) on toast (ideally a slightly crisped baguette) is one of the great pleasures of...

This American knew what PEI stood for, but all credit goes to Miss Montgomery and her lovable Anne. But I've never actually seen mussels referred to as "PEI"--in my mussel experience, it's usually...

Barron's Brownies, from Maida Heatter's Great American Desserts ! Also gingersnaps, homemade marshmallows, and Karen DeMasco's amazing cashew brittle.

My mom used to make stew with hearty winter vegetables & marrow bones when I was a kid, so this is big-time comfort food for me. I'm going to try this one!
