Braised Collards & Southern Style Black-Eyed Peas january 1, 2018 For as long as I can remember, I've made Deborah Madison's Braised Collards on New Year's Day, with her Southern Style Black-Eyed Peas alongside.

Chez P Cooking's Blood Orange Sorbet

The best part of winter in California is the citrus. Every year my family and I celebrate the season by ordering a box of tarocco blood oranges from Frog Hollow Farm for sorbet. Their juice makes a delicious dessert: sweet, tart, refreshing and cold as the snow we never have, here in San Francisco. Continue reading

Slow Cooker Menus' Asian Short Ribs

Last night was cool and tonight is colder still, winter is arriving. That means a near steady stream of kale, bok choi and tatsoi will be arriving weekly in our produce box for the rest of the season, all of which pair really well with these sticky-salty-sweet beef ribs. Continue reading

Joy of Cooking's Roasted Pork Tenderloin

Roasting a pork tenderloin is easier than I thought and my kids love to eat it! I managed to tweak this recipe so that it works in the oven around shuttling kids to and from soccer and swimming practices, so that we aren't eating too late on a weeknight. Continue reading

IR's Joy of Cooking

Joy of Cooking Irma Rombaur - jan 3, 2013 This is the cookbook I go to for everything I feel I should know how to make but don't. Or can't remember the details of, like oven temperatures for various meats, measurements of water for different grains and cooking times for... Continue reading

How to Cook Dried Beans

How To Cook Dried Beans november 10, 2014 Dried beans are ridiculously easy to cook. Here are three things I've learned in my many years of cooking beans: 1) The fresher the beans, the faster they cook - buy them from stores with a high turnover. 2) The more gentle... Continue reading

Appliances - Slow Cooker

Slow Cooker february 19, 2013 Slow cookers are not the most exciting things in the world, but they are very useful. I use mine most often to make chicken stock. After roasting a chicken and serving most of it for dinner, I shred the rest of the meat off the... Continue reading

Appliances - Spice Grinder

Spice Grinder november 9, 2015 Retired coffee grinders are great for spices and breadcrumbs. This one is from 1997. It works just fine, but I had to replace it when white appliances stopped being cool: my coffee grinder that I use for coffee is black. I keep this one hidden... Continue reading

JR's Dinner A Love Story

Jenny Rosenstratch chronicles her often hilarious adventures cooking for (and sometimes with) her husband and two daughters over sixteen years in this three part cooking memoir. Made of hearty stock, she refuses to describe family dinner as a problem, but admits that some of the challenges involved can be "soul-crushing" and "harrowing". Continue reading

Dinner A Love Story's Back Pocket Pasta

Jenny Rosenstrach's Back Pocket Pasta recipe is a great way to get dinner on the table really quickly without planning ahead. I added ground pork for protein and mizuna from this week's CSA box, instead of tossing a salad. It may not be the most generous serving of vegetables we've had this week, but that's not the point.

Rose Petal Jam's Cabbage Rolls

Is there anything more scary than serving them to your kids the day after Halloween? I like to think of cabbage rolls, or cabbage in any form, as a little something to balance out all that candy: a treat of an entirely different kind or a wicked trick, depending on how you look at it.

Stir Frying to the Sky's Edge's Fried Rice

Dinner A Love Story's Salmon with Yogurt-Mustard Sauce

This is one of two ways I can successfully cook fish inside the house. Usually, I go outside and grill it. But Jenny Rosenstrach's Royal Salmon is quick and tasty with an awesome sauce, so it has become this summer's goto for a fast-fish-dish. Continue reading
