Herby Panko-Crusted Rack of Lamb
|
My father-in-law Steve (the crab cake king) loves rack of lamb so much, I’m pretty sure he’d eat it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner if he could. And seeing as my in-laws are staying with us, when I offered to cook them dinner on Sunday, I knew that if I asked “any special requests?” there…

Quick Meatballs Over Slow-Cooked Polenta
|
Meatballs are not a go-to dinner for me. Sometimes I crave them, but then I think about all of the work: the tearing of the bread (yes, good meatballs have bread soaked in milk), the soaking of the bread in milk (I just said that), the grating of the Parmesan, and — worst of all…

Grilled Ribeyes with Chimichurri
|
Anyone who knows me in real life knows that I get bees in my bonnet; spontaneous obsessions that I can’t shake off, no matter how hard I try. Lately, it’s been gardening (you should see my rhododendrons) and, in the same spirit of wanting to be outside more, grilling. Only: I know nothing about grilling.…

Reverse-Seared Ribeyes
|
Remember that scene in Mary Poppins where they all go up the chimney and come out all sooty? That’s what my dinner guests usually look like when I cook steak. The whole kitchen fills up with black clouds as I sear the meat in a large cast-iron skillet, flipping and continuing to cook while frantically…

Spicy Merguez with Spinach and Borlotti Beans
Every so often you encounter a recipe that grabs you by the throat and won’t let go. That was the case when I was thumbing through an old book in my collection: Daniel Boulud’s Braise, which he co-wrote with Melissa Clark back in 2013. This is one of those books that’ve survived many a cookbook…

Have you ever been in a cooking rut? Sometimes I literally have no idea what to make for dinner even though I have a cookbook shelf overflowing with books and I read about food on the internet for 85% of my day. Thankfully, I started this new podcast and my guests send me recipes to…

Rosemary Dijon Rack of Lamb with Crispy Potatoes
|
Would you believe that I’ve cooked lamb necks, lamb shoulders, lamb legs, but never that most famous lamb preparation of all… a classic rack of lamb? The reason’s actually pretty simple: rack of lamb is expensive. And as confident as I am as a meat cook, I’m always scared that if I splurge on something…

Spiced Pork Chops with Delicata Squash and Apple Chutney
|
Making new friends is always a treat but difficult to do when you’re supposed to avoid social gatherings and remain six feet apart while masked. Luckily, I made two new friends last year when the food writer Ben Mims and his partner J made the same move that we made back in 2011 from New…

Lamb Burgers and Tomato Salad
|
One of the reasons that I stopped blogging for as long as I did was that I felt like I was starting to repeat myself. How many times could I tell you about making cavatappi with sun-dried tomatoes? Or how I roast a chicken? Now, on this new-ish iteration of the blog (where my m.o.…

A Summery Steak Dinner
|
Sometimes people ask me if I barbecue and I say “no” and when they ask “why not?” I say: “Because I don’t really like my backyard.” And it’s true: we share one with our neighbors in our fourplex, and they’re all very nice, but it’s not very private and it also kind of looks out…
