A very long time ago, back when we lived in New Haven, day trips to Manhattan were a pretty regular occurrence for us. One of these trips included good friends of ours and we spent the day visiting the MoMA, doing a little shopping at Barney’s New York, getting a drink at L’Orange Bleu…

Nilou Motamed’s mirza ghasemi from The Cherry Bombe Cookbook, or: the recipe that got me to really like eggplant.
So how many loaves of bread have you made yet? I have so far resisted the temptation–give me pasta any day, please–and so the bread we’re having is of the store-bought variety, at least for now. I might try to make a wild yeast starter following Alton Brown’s instructions next week, but I’m not going…
Pipérade/piperrada with poached eggs and prosciutto from The Cherry Bombe Cookbook.
I was on such a Basque food tear in the months following our September trip that I basically forced myself to take a break, lest I burn out on making all of that delicious food and neglect my other favorite foods like pasta. Fast-forward to two months ago, when Michael was on a work trip…
A recap of NYE, holiday cookbook roundup, Cherry Bombe’s #86This, and other thoughts in early 2018.
With the holidays over and things slowly coming back to normal, I want to get back into the habit of blogging more regularly again. So in order to do that, I need to clear out some mental clutter. 1. Tuesday marked the first day in about two weeks that the temperatures went significantly over the…
The Manhattan [food] Project’s gift guide for 2017.
I’ve been going back and forth on posting a gift guide this year; even posting one in early December feels like it would be too late to do so as I know I’ve made most of my purchases by now, though I still have a few more to get. But I have so much fun…
On Cherry Bombe’s new cookbook and their International Supper Club from this past weekend.
I was doing so well in getting back to the blogging habit, and then my weekends got busy there in October between visits home and visitors here and a trip up to New York for work, so I’ve been a little distracted from this space. I’m always eager to get back to cooking after a…
Tomato salad with chili, black pepper, and cardamom from Madcapra’s via Cherry Bombe issue no. 7.
Recently The Kitchen Witch posted about how she likes to seduce late spring/early summer tomatoes by making punchy vinaigrettes, and her Kalamata olive one would be pretty fabulous if I liked olives more. But it reminded me of a recipe I had earmarked in the most recent issue of Cherry Bombe magazine in which you make…
On baking and Baltimore and finally getting the Hermès Madeleine right, with some help from Cherry Bombe.
We’ve been in Baltimore for a month as of yesterday, and while there are adjustments to make like finding new food and wine stores and getting accustomed to driving around in a real city, overall the move has been a very positive one. We were mostly unpacked by the time New Year’s rolled around largely…
Summertime cocktails: white sangria and strawberry-basil caipirinhas to help battle Fall Creep.
OK, so I feel a little guilty. I’ve been sitting on these cocktails for most of the summer, but because I couldn’t write my way to a coherent blog post until now, these recipes have gone unpublished and therefore not enjoyed by anyone who hasn’t had the chance to hang out with us in the…
