Friends, good morning from Vermont ☀️☀️☀️ I am here for a mini family reunion, our Greek Easter postponed from April, when nobody's schedules would align. Yesterday, my cousin made spanakopita, we grilled lamb chops, and the kids dyed eggs for the Tsougrisma, the post-dinner egg-cracking game. My cousin's husband Ian — yes Ian!* — won and has been granted good luck and prosperity for the year. I've been watching World Cup games all day long and hanging with Homer: This week, I had planned to share an updated version of a very old recipe on the blog: Nigella Lawson's Cheater's Danish Pastry/Croissant Dough. I used the recipe recently to make croissants, and I had forgotten how easy the dough comes together and what beautiful results it yields: More soon! Below, I've shared a few ideas should you be cooking for Father's Day. I hope you've all had a wonderful weekend, and I am wishing all the dads out there a Happy Father's Day 👋 *We are My Big Fat Greek Wedding. Review of the Week

Good Morning, Friends. Nearly every week, I receive an email or a comment from someone lamenting that the bottom of their sourdough loaf is too tough. They love the crumb and the flavor, but, as one reader sweetly wrote recently, sometimes "the crust is a bit too crispy for my weak teeth." I get it! And I have a solution, but first, let's quickly review the process. For Dutch oven baked loaves, the loaf bakes covered for roughly 30 minutes, then uncovered for another 15 minutes. Forty-five...
Good Morning, Friends. Last weekend, when my sister arrived with her children, she emerged from her car holding a small brown paper bag. I squealed at the sight, knowing/hoping what might be inside: dozens of dirt-shrouded heads of her husband Tim's homegrown garlic. If you grow your own garlic or are lucky enough to be on the receiving end of someone else's, or if you buy it at the farmer's market, you know it is a far cry from what most of us can get for much of the year. It is gold....
Good Morning, Friends. Two to three times a year, I find myself in Skaneateles with one of my kids for hockey. During these brief visits, we stop by Good Eats, a cafe on the main strip, at least twice a day for bagels, smoothie bowls, coffee, and snacks in between. And while we love everything on the menu, our favorite is the Power Bites, which are packed into small containers in the grab-and-go fridge. Over the years, we have learned that one pack is not enough to share for the long drive...
