Tuesday, May 7th, 2013Pasta is the ultimate weeknight meal, but if you’re like me perhaps you’re a little tired of your old spaghetti standards. Good news: today’s recipe for pasta with walnut sauce is just the thing to break you from your rigatoni rut. It blends crushed nuts with garlic, parmesan and milk-soaked bread into a lovely, textured, [...]
Tuesday dinner with Thyme
Tuesday, April 23rd, 2013There are few things I find more satisfying than creating a brand new meal out of leftovers, transforming the uninspiring contents of my fridge into something exciting — it’s like cooking magic. That is why I am so delighted by this week’s Tuesday dinner of stuffed vegetables, from the blogger Thyme (aka Sarah Kenney). She’s [...]
Tuesday dinner with The Everyday French Chef
Tuesday, April 2nd, 2013I don’t normally associate the words “salad” and “hearty” but maybe I haven’t spent enough time in the French Alps. Happily, Meg Bortin from The Everyday French Chef has enlightened me. Her recipe for Salade Savoyarde combines potatoes, country ham and — genius touch — melted Gruyère cheese into a warm, nourishing main dish that [...]
Tuesday dinner with Croque-Camille
Wednesday, March 20th, 2013I know, it’s Wednesday. But I couldn’t wait another week to post this simple, satisfying, buttery and delicious recipe for tadka dal (a sort of spiced Indian lentil stew) from my friend and fellow Paris blogger, Croque-Camille. Camille is an American pastry chef (with famous buns) who lives in Paris with her husband, Nick, and [...]
Tuesday dinner with Kristin Harmel
Tuesday, March 5th, 2013It may be late winter, but my local farmer’s market is still thriving, offering the sweetest carrots and curliest kale. But how to turn this hardy winter produce into a cozy meal? Kristin Harmel’s weeknight minestrone soup is the answer. Kristin is a journalist — she’s written for People, Ladies’ Home Journal, Woman’s Day, and [...]
Tuesday dinner with Wini Moranville
Tuesday, February 19th, 2013Phew! That was a long break! Apologies for my absence, mes amis. I was working on revisions to my new book, which meant the rest of my communication was limited to caveman grunts. I’ve been subsisting on crackers and peanut butter and my husband’s cooking (turns out he’s a genius with ground meat: chili, bolognese, sloppy [...]
Tuesday dinner with Excuse My French
Tuesday, January 8th, 2013I’m in Paris for the month and I’ve got France on my mind. French food, like this savory tomato and spinach tart. But also French boiler maintenance, French homeowner’s associations, French property taxes — in other words, all the administrative details of life made complicated by the Kafka-esque French bureaucracy. Thank goodness for Olivier Cappaert [...]
Tuesday dinner with Pat Tanumihardja
Tuesday, December 18th, 2012Amid the longest days of winter — indeed, amid days that feel darker than usual — it seems more important than ever to gather with the people we love to eat something good once a day, to find comfort in food and recipes through passed generations. Perhaps no one understands this better than Patricia Tanumihardja, [...]
Tuesday dinner with Maria Speck
Tuesday, December 11th, 2012Sometimes, more than anything, it’s the idea of grocery shopping that kills my desire to cook dinner, the unbearable thought of stopping in one more place, of engaging in one more transaction, of lugging one more bag home. But this week I am excited to share a pasta pantry meal for Tuesday dinner, a bold recipe [...]
Tuesday dinner with Kristin Espinasse from French Word-a-Day
Tuesday, November 27th, 2012I don’t know about you, but after a holiday weekend that included Thanksgiving with all the trimmings, Chinese food, New York pizza AND bagels, I’m ready for something a little lighter. Thankfully, Kristin Espinasse from the blog French Word-a-Day – and author of Blossoming in Provence — has come to the rescue with a simple Mediterranean [...]
