Market Transition
It’s still way to hot to be motivated to cook, but the family must be fed, so I wandered around the farmer’s market today, waiting for inspiration to strike. We’re a third of the way through the market season, which … Continue reading
Ginger Scallion Noodles
You need ginger scallion sauce on your noodles, in your fridge, and in your life. For real.” That’s David Chang’s advice in the Momofuku cookbook, so who am I to argue? I needed a noodle fix, and the recipe didn’t … Continue reading
Shocking!
Because She Who Must Be Obeyed and I donate to the Boston Museum of Science, we frequently get invited to exhibit previews and special events. Last Saturday we took a behind the scenes tour of the Theater of Electricity, the … Continue reading
Market Meltdown
It’s hot out there. It’s been hot for weeks, so hot that I don’t feel like cooking for fear of turning the kitchen into a blast furnace. So I went to the market with an eye toward what I can … Continue reading

Market Holiday
I‘m still working through last week’s market haul, so today was more of a reconnoitering instead of a purchasing trip. Still, I couldn’t pass up the first yellow beans, fava beans, and red onions of the season, as well as … Continue reading
Mayonnaise
At the urging of Ryan Adams, whose adventures in cooking through all of Fergus Henderson’s Nose to Tail: The Whole Beast are chronicled at Nose to Tail at Home, I submitted a proposal for a weekly feature at the now-defunct … Continue reading
Fast Recipes for Grilling
It’s the start of another summer, which means it’s time for another of Mark Bittman’s “101” lists for The New York Times. In the past, he’s compiled simple recipes for salads, picnics, and meals; now he’s compiled quick recipes for … Continue reading
