blackberry zig zag pie

Mollie Katzen was at Sixth and I synagogue talking about her latest cookbook, The Heart of the Plate, tonight. With her groundbreaking hand-drawn Moosewood Cookbook and The Enchanted Broccoli Forest, Mollie was truly a pioneer for transforming the dinner plate and putting vegetables in the limelight, rather than the conventional serving of meat. During this golden age of […]

blueberry plum galette

plum and blueberry galette

The last unofficial weekend of summer was spent with my family on Chincoteague Island, a tiny barrier island off the coast of Virginia. The sun was hot and the ocean water was cold. We made a big peach pie using my friend Kari‘s secret recipe. Ate fresh littleneck clams by the handful. Went for late […]

in the kitchen with nothing-in-the-house

Multiple friends told me I had to meet Emily nearly two years before it finally happened.

But for some reason, the connection eluded us until we finally met at the opening party for Emily’s self-published […]

strawberry rhubarb ginger pie

honey sea salt pie

Welcome, November! The month for vegans, Native American heritage, punkin chunkin, flossing, the Quidditch World Cup, and overeating. I might not be so good at quidditch, or flossing, but overeating? Yeah, I can do that.
