Hand Rolled Rigatoni with Pork Ragu
Maybe, like me, you’ve found yourself in this situation once or twice: mindlessly, you scroll through your Instagram discover feed only to stumble upon a video of tubular dough pressing through a die-cut pasta machine in a seemingly infinite stream. Rigatoni! Mesmerized, you can’t tear your eyes away. You wonder: …
Stamped Citrus Shortbread
A short two weeks ago, NYT Cooking came out with a list of 12 brand spankin’ new Christmas cookies— all crafted by cook and author Susan Spungen. They’re sure to impress, as the piece promises. Get a load of those colors and textures! Is there anything quite like the fragrance …
Citrusy Kale Salad
Before we begin, I want to mention that before posting this my SEO plug-in will scan the beginning of this text and say, boo! This is no good! You’re not talking about the kale salad! And I’ll have to try to not let it bother me. I like to build up a story and lay the foundation before getting to the main event, you know? So …

Bourbon Peach Pie
For 27 years (you know, give or take) I’ve held tightly to the notion that my grandmother’s apple pie is the best in the world. I’ve sold them at the farmer’s market with great success. No matter what filling she used– usually apple, sometimes peach or blueberry– it was magnificent. …
Marinated Chèvre
It was a few years ago, in California, that I first tried marinated goat’s milk cheese. But this was no ordinary experience. I’d never had anything quite like it– it wasn’t like the hard, crumbly goat cheese I’d had so many times before. It was soft, spreadable, and beautifully mingled …
