On the prowl recently for a new cookbook/cook to read and follow, I picked up Jamie Oliver’s latest cookbook, Cook with Jamie: My Guide to Making You a Better Cook. While I hesitated over the years that I’ve cooked (yes, all two of them) to pick up Jamie Oliver (also known as “The Naked Chef”) [...]

Dulce de Leche Cheesecake
Late last week, as Father’s Day was approaching, I tried to figure out what great grilling tool the Dads in my life would want, but opted for a different strategy when I came across a recipe for Dulce de Leche Cheesecake. Yes, they would far prefer that. And I would far prefer making them something, [...]

Homemade Granola
Inspired by Molly Wizenberg’s piece “Breakfast Outside the Box” in this month’s Bon Appetit, I made granola last night while listening to the new The New Pornographers album (it is so fun, so good, so lovely). I grew up eating my aunt’s homemade granola (with ice cold milk, not yogurt…I have the same preference to [...]

Lasagna-Style Baked Ziti
Last night I was craving lasagna, but didn’t want to put too much effort into dinner, so I picked up this great recipe from Real Simple: Lasagna-Style Baked Ziti. I didn’t have Ziti, so I used penne which worked just fine. I was so anxious to eat it that I forgot to take pretty plated [...]

Scottish Scones
On Sunday night, feeling the usual excitement of watching the Golden Globes yet restless with just sitting, watching and secretly guessing at the winners, I picked up Molly Wizenberg’s A Homemade Life to find a delicious Sunday treat that wouldn’t take too much time to make, and would be a nice snack in the morning [...]

As promised after “Cooking with Nick,” I made poached eggs with hollandaise sauce, method and recipe courtesy of Julia Child. I’ll be honest and tell you I don’t like poached eggs or hollandaise (Frank, however, orders it whenever we have breakfast out), so this was a bit of a stretch for me. I liked poaching [...]

A Homemade Life, Book Review
My long weekend at home over the New Year holiday was to cook a lot (will post on that subject soon) and read “A Homemade Life” by Molly Wizenberg, blog-turned-book by way of Orangette. I commented to a friend last week how kid-in-a-candy-store it is now to see the growing section of books with personal [...]

For the Love of Leeks
I know brussel sprouts are the trendy vegetable of the season, and while I have seen some great recipes, there is something about leeks lately that get them on the grocery list. They are an odd, almost heavy veggie, have dirt caked between their layers, and nearly every recipe disregards their palm tree tops. I [...]
