A Recipe I Wish More People Made, An Overnight Dough to Mix Tonight + More Recipes for A Snowy Weekend
|
Hi Friends, This week, as I found myself making my Great Aunt Rene's chicken for the millionth time, I found myself wishing more people would make it. It has become such a staple for me, not only because my family loves it, but also because I can make it ahead of time and leave it out — it tastes delicious at room temperature and also reheats beautifully in the microwave. The sauce is so, so tasty and so good with rice, which I make in the rice cooker, and which I find myself relying on more and more. I love these sorts of meals because it means my kids can help themselves as they wish — they can eat before practice, after, or both! I can set everything out at 4 pm and call dinner done! Anyway, Friends, if you've never made this chicken, I think you will love it, and I hope you find time to make it soon. Also, are you ready for the storm? And have you pulled out your fleece-lined leggings? My parents are in town, and I wish the weather had been a little more welcoming... Last night for dinner, I made Arctic char, roasted cauliflower, romesco (which I hadn't made in ages and which pairs so nicely with roasted vegetables of all kinds), and Lahey bread. Reminder: if you mix up some Lahey Dough tonight.... ... you will be rewarded with a crusty boule tomorrow 🍞 Stay warm, Friends! Have a great weekend ❄️ ❄️ ❄️
Review of the Week
"Low effort, high reward! This broth is just so much better than any broth one could buy in the store, and it’s extremely fast. I’m making it for the butternut squash soup. An amazing recipe!" — Jess PS: Here's that soup recipe:

Friends, hello. Yesterday I found myself in the checkout line at our little co-op behind an old man, moving slowly and sweetly grumbling about not wanting to pay for a paper bag for his groceries. And then, when the cashier, Linda, told him he was short a few cents, he sighed and, looking defeated, pulled out his wallet and handed over a larger bill. After giving him his change, Linda began helping him load his bags into his cart, saying assuringly, "Take your time, there is no rush, you're...
Friends, hello. This week, I spent a few days in Philadelphia for a pizza class I was teaching at The Bread Room, the recently opened bakery by Ellen Yin, the owner of Fork, where I worked many years ago. During class, we made the Neapolitan-style pizza dough from Pizza Night and topped it with four different topping combinations: 3 from Pizza Night and one with crème fraîche and persimmons, which I will write more about soon. It was a blast to be back in the city, highlights including the...
Friends, hello. As you read this, I am heading back north with my family for an early hockey game, of course. We had a wonderful few days with my sister's family, most of which included lounging and drinking coffee, with the downtime broken by brisk walks and cooking for the many little hungry mouths. Last night, my sister served chili (basically this recipe with a bag of frozen corn added) aside peasant bread, and it was everything I was craving — warm, hearty, beany, and loaded with...
