Buttery Dinner Rolls
It’s November! Welcome, morning frost and fresh cranberries. Welcome, soup and tea and nights-that-are-dark-too-early. Welcome, month of pies and all things good! This year, I’m hosting a Friendsgiving gathering at my house. We’re doing away with a lot of the traditional Thanksgiving foods, like turkey and stuffing, (mostly because we are teenage girls and there…

Salted Butter Apple Tarte Tatin
The first time. The butter puddles on top of the sugar. Is that normal? Is it??? The apple pieces are a mess. Was I supposed to cut them differently? Caramel splatters my arm.The puff pastry is rising unevenly. When I flip the tart, caramel runs all over the plate, all over the counter. The dough is instantly…

Acorn Squash, Pomegranate and Kale Salad
I’m always looking for interesting new salads and this one, which serves a crowd (a big plus!) is my new favorite.

Maple Plum Upside Down Cake
A few days ago, I spotted a box of plums for $5 at the grocery store. They were dusty, bruised and a little unripe. I took them home. Once home, I put them on the counter. I thought, well, here it is. Proof that you have trouble letting go. Because really, plums are a thing of the…

Eggplant & Tomato Jam
I am going to hazard a guess and say that right now, in the dead of August, you are probably not interested in a recipe that involves a lot of time in the kitchen, especially time that is spent frying, blanching, peeling and simmering. I know. Neither am I. But the thing is, when I…

Roasted Blackberry Apricot Ice Cream
The blackberries were on sale. Big boxes of them, full of ripe fruit- a sure sign of the advent of summer. They were calling to us, singing a song of green fields and sun, and their dark, midnight sheen was bewitching. We bought two cartons. “I bet we finish one box on the way home,”…
