I just had this for lunch: tuna mixed with extra virgin olive oil, sundried tomatoes, capers, and olives over a bed of baby arugula. My co-workers looked at my food like I was crazy ...

it's funny you touch on this subject-- I am currently reading "Kitchen" by Banana Yashimoto and there are references to pickled wasabi root. Has anyone tried it? Sounds delicious!

Hot Pot is an integral part of my growing up. It is so versatile, healthy and delicious and also perfect for east coast rainy winter to spring weather. These pictures made me really hungry and ac...

Fuchsia Dunlop has a sichuan pepper sauce recipe that I make every year. Hers does not include vinegar. I can't locate the recipe now but basically: 1) wash and thoroughly dry a bunch of chile pe...

My CSA worked out great- I joined for the first time this year and feel like it was a worthwhile experience. I loved not knowing what I was getting until I showed up at the farm and the fact that ...

Thanks for this tip. I read this and got all excited because we just got married in Sept and now have a chance to upgrade our cookware w/ a couple more all-clad pieces. I just purchased a 3 qt and...

thanks for the Morocco tips Kristin! I can hardly wait, I plan to pack light :)

My favorite kitchen travel find are two tea towels I bought at some produce market in Florence, Italy. They were affordable (even w/ the strong euro!), uniquely pretty and easy to pack up. Six yr...

This weekend I got our first week of CSA shares. Using some of the stuff I got, I made green garlic/potato soup using garlic scallions, onions and potatoes, and pesto risotto using some thyme, chi...

Egg bar!! I would love to see this at my DC WF. I could see this being a win-win there. We do have an olives bar aside from the hot and salad bars but I guess just about every WF has that?

I made a bright yellow lemon curd tart recently. I can't wait to get Garlic scapes at the markets so I can make some scape pesto.

A mixed greens salad with salty olives and red wine/olive oil dressing, a side of artichokes and green peas in a garlic/thyme/lemon sauce, and, an apple.
