Spicy Fennel and Squash Soup with Candied Pepitas and Balsamic Pears
|
Garnishes are a game-changer when it comes to a pureed soup. What could pass easily as baby food, becomes something much more substantial and more interesting to eat when you add lots of little bobs and bits.

Mustardy Chicken Thighs with Farro, Brown Butter Squash, Kale, and Bacon
Last night I was in the weeds: it was five o’clock, we had dinner guests coming at seven, and I had eight chicken thighs, a bag of farro, two Delicata squash, kale, and some bacon. Two Google searches later — one that landed me on a Thomas Keller recipe for Farro and Black Rice with…

Seared Butternut Squash with Crispy Curried Chickpeas
Some married people cheat when their husbands go out for the evening; I eat chickpeas.Craig doesn’t like chickpeas.

Roasted Squash & Fennel Soup
Dealing with expectations is a tricky endeavor for every cook, whether at home or at a four-star restaurant. Granted, the four-star chef has a harder time: diners at a four-star restaurant expect impeccable service, pristine surroundings, and food at the cutting edge of what food can be. At home, things are a little different. You…

|
Going through old pictures, just now, I found the picture you see above and smacked my lips at the memory: “Hey!” my brain sang out. “That’s that delicious butternut squash and chickpea salad with tahini you made from Orangette’s website.” According to the picture, I made this on December 19th.
