Lamb Shanks Rogan Josh with Ajwain Pancakes
Sometimes you need a weekend cooking project. When you’ve already beaten Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (#humblebrag), you’ve marathoned all of The Gilded Age, and you finally finished reading The Bee Sting, you want to busy yourself in the kitchen. Well here’s a project for you: Lamb Shanks Rogan Josh from Daniel Boulud’s…

Lentils with Pancetta, Anchovies, Sun-Dried Tomatoes, and Kale
When I wrote my cookbook Secrets of the Best Chefs over a decade ago, I stood in the kitchen of Beast, Chef Naomi Pomeroy’s then-flagship restaurant in Portland, trying to keep up as she made a giant batch of lentils. Every time I looked away, it seemed like she was adding a new ingredient: was…

Banana Upside-Down Cake
Most cakes tell you what they’re going to look like before you put them in the oven. If you make a flourless chocolate cake, it’s going to be the same color going in as it is coming out. Same for an almond cake, a coconut cake (pre-icing), a hummingbird cake, etc. Upside-down cakes are different.…

Hand-Smashed Blue Cheese Dip with Stilton
Some day I’ll write a book about dinner parties, assuming books still exist and AI hasn’t cast writers into outer space like HAL in 2001: A Space Odyssey. In that book, I’ll talk about balancing out a meal; how if you have a heavy main course, you’ll want a lighter first course, and a refreshing…

A Birthday Dinner at Claud
We all have embarrassing things that we do in our lives where, if there were a documentary crew following us around, we’d ask them to leave the room while we engaged in our secret behavior. Such would be the case had anyone been watching me plan my birthday dinner this week in New York. I…

Bucatini Carbonara
There are lots of conversations in food media, by people much smarter than myself, about “authenticity” in cooking and what that even means. The trend seems to be that we’re shifting away from the word, which is a relief, since I’m about to share my go-to Carbonara recipe and who knows what a real Italian…

Flourless Chocolate Cake
There are certain recipes that stay with you. They follow you throughout your life and when you return to them, it’s like visiting an old friend. That’s how it is with this flourless chocolate cake that I first made for my playwriting thesis class (taught by Pulitzer Prize-winner Marsha Norman) at NYU’s Tisch School of…

Ottolenghi’s Coriander-Crusted Cod with Winter Couscous
Breaking out the Ottolenghi is serious business, especially on a Tuesday night. But our old friends and new neighbors Rob, Kath, Andrew, and Cara were coming to dinner and even though my original plan was “protein plus vegetable plus dessert,” I couldn’t help myself. I wanted to dazzle with preserved lemons and unidentifiable spices. I…

Six Hour Birthday Lasagna
Lasagna is the perfect birthday food. It’s festive, it feeds a crowd, and depending on which recipe you choose, the work that goes into it can become a gift in and of itself. Such was the case with this lasagna that I made for Craig’s [age redacted] birthday this weekend. The recipe comes from Chris…

Sassy Strawberry Sorbet
When strawberries are season (like they are now), you have a few options. Option one: eat them raw. Option two: eat them raw dipped in homemade whipped cream. Option three: Strawberry Shortcake. All of these are totally reasonable options — especially option three (which I plan to make this weekend for a friend’s birthday) —…
