Recipe: Instant Pot Sourdough Bread

Last minute kitchen gifts
If you have Amazon Prime, there’s still time to order some last minute kitchen gifts for the chef or gourmand who, like you and me, has become obsessed with Fuchsia Dunlop’s Land of Plenty and all things Sichuan: Lao Gan … Continue reading

Recipe: Korean Chicken Nuggets
McDonald’s has been running a special on Chicken McNuggets through its app and a few boxes (20 for $4.99) have passed through my home recently. I tried them reheated, and they’re not bad. So it occurred to me to do … Continue reading
Recipe: Smashed Salt Potatoes
Salt potatoes are a thing in upstate New York. Stores sell a bag of white potatoes which includes a sack of salt, and charge more than the items would cost separately. Michele, our hostess at Orchard Slope airbnb in Amherst … Continue reading
