  • Red, White and Blue

    |

    Pledge allegiance to this month’s banner, designed by our brilliantly patriotic illustrator, Lindy. Thanks to her and thanks to Justin for installing it. Now for a very important question: what’s Blue Nun??

  • Roasted Rhubarb

    |

    Another quick, seasonal recipe from Dorie Greenspan. Take one pound of rhubarb, cut it into 2 inch pieces, place in a pie plate with 1/2 cup of sugar, orange zest (or lemon zest) from one orange or lemon and let sit for five minutes. Preheat oven to 400, cover dish with foil, and cook for…

    My friend Sasie Sealy, a super talented filmmaker, is a semi-finalist in the Netflix “Find Your Voice” Film Competition. So please go here, watch her short film, “SarahN_12,” and if you like it, give it a good ranking so she advances to the next round. She deserves it!

  • Pineapple with Molasses & Lime Zest

    Mario Batali is my #1 favorite food-world hero: I love his books, I love his old Food Network show “Molto Mario,” and I love his restaurants. When I found out, last year, he was doing a show about Spain, I was delighted. Especially since Craig and I are going to Spain this summer–we leave at…

  • Live with Julie Powell

    |

    You ever play that game where you try to figure out who would play you in the movie version of your life? (I still haven’t figured out who would play me: any ideas?) Well Julie Powell, author of “The Julie/Julia Project,” has a real-life answer to the question in the form of Amy Adams who…

    Bespoke Chocolates

    |

    Food people are my kind of people. That’s why so many of the people I’ve met since I started food blogging have become good friends: they’re generous, they’re insightful, they’re creative, they’re smart and they have good taste. So friendship was clearly in the stars when a longtime reader named Rachel Zoe Insler informed me…

  • Your Table Is Ready

    |

    The hardest table to get in New York right now is at the Minetta Tavern. It was already a madhouse right when it opened (which is why I made it part of my NY Foodie Photo Scavenger Hunt (hey that’s the 2nd time I linked to that today)) but then it got three stars from…

  • Live with David Lebovitz

    |

    Last week’s BlogTalk Radio interview with Michael Ruhlman was such a hit, I’m going to try to do the show weekly, every Thursday at 12 PM, with a different surprise guest. And this week’s surprise guest is one that we all know and love, a recent author and beloved blogger, one Mr. David Lebovitz. David…
