Chickpea & Escarole Soup, Jim Lahey's No-Knead Bread, Blistered Green Beans & More Recipes to Make This Week
|
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 vegetables. I plan on making a big pot of something as soon as I get home, maybe the above-pictured chickpeas with escarole or this simple black bean soup or this pantry tomato soup, which my children love. Find a few more of my favorite soup recipes below. I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season. Stay cozy, Friends 👋 ❄️🍜

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...
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...
