We try to do mostly vegetarian recipes on the column to increase the possibility of all readers being able to try the food out in the kitchen. Every so often, though, we can’t turn down amazing recipes that contain meat, especially if the letters BBQ can in any way be associated with them. Ming Thompson,…
I was first introduced to photographer William Brinson’s portfolio in the sneak peek of his and his wife Susan’s beautifully styled loft in New York. I particularly liked the painted wallpaper from the kitchen and their cute boxer! Since then, I’ve checked in on William’s work periodically via House of Brinson to see what he…
We are very happy to welcome Béatrice Peltre back to the column after two and a half years! As always, she has shared the perfect autumn recipe with beautiful colors and rich flavors (and it’s gluten free!). This would be absolutely perfect for Thanksgiving, or even better, reheated until good and crispy at the edges…
I first learned about Herriott Grace (items mostly for the tabletop and kitchen) right here on Design*Sponge. It’s one of those beautifully handmade brands you are exhilarated to find out about, but at the same time wish you had never heard of it because the work is so beautiful, you just want all of it…
After reader’s response to last week’s traditional Southern recipe with Top Chef favorite Kevin Gillespie, Grace and I could not resist offering a complete Southern meal to you. This week’s menu comes from Athens, Georgia-based chef Hugh Acheson. We were very lucky that photographer Rinne Allen reached out to us to offer to photograph the…
despite being on its seventh season, top chef will always have one true “top chef” winner to me: chef harold dieterle. talented, funny, humble, and hard-working, harold was the clear choice (to me at least) from the get-go, and has since gone on to prove that he has the cooking chops to take his success…
Today is a really special recipe on the ITKW column. I’ve written a bit before about the collaborative process of submissions on the column– sometimes the recipes are obvious choices and the images fall into place. Other times there’s a dialogue of how we and the author can work together to convey the best of…
We are so very lucky to have an original recipe by Yotam Ottolenghi this week. Yotam, together with Sami Tamimi, are the creative forces behind Ottolenghi, one of the most delectable and popular food shops and caterers in London (there are four shops actually!). Yotam has just published his second book, Plenty, a collection of…
A couple of months ago, Julie Morelli of Letterform, Inc. graphic design studio sent over an introduction I couldn’t refuse. The founding mission of this column was to great tasting, easy to make, beautifully photographed recipes from designers each Friday. With her Roasted Squash over Arugula with Goat Cheese and Hazelnuts salad and her letterpress…
I was thrilled beyond words when National Geographic photographer extraordinaire Penny De Los Santos agreed to do a recipe with us. Many of you will remember Penny’s fabulous home which was featured in a sneak peek. This week, she brings us an spicy heirloom radish salad, sure to please. I openly admit that I had…
I often take a few minutes to scan through flickr just to see what other people capture with their cameras. I ran across Melina Hammer’s flickr portfolio two years ago, and it’s one I always enjoy seeing updated in my contact list. What I really like about Melina’s work is her ability to move in…
today’s in the kitchen with is a special recipe that i was lucky enough to have land in my inbox this week. brooklyn based food photographer jessika creedon sent over these gorgeous photographs of a picnic she attended in prospect park and i was blown away by the special presentation of the food. rather than…
despite the fact that i’ve have never been a huge artichoke fan (and i don’t think grace is either), living in rome, it’s impossible to avoid them. as with just about every other food i’ve learned to prepare here, eating an artichoke was a relatively new experience for me. these pictured are called cimaroli (pronounced…
austin-based designer alyson fox makes things from paper, fabric, books, ceramics, thread, wallpaper, office supplies, photographs, old tattered things, new polished things, furniture, and cement. she has degrees in photography, sculpture, and installation art and is certainly no stranger to design*sponge readers. she is currently working on a line of clothing and interior designs for…
as d*s changes and grows along with me i try to keep the content as fresh and as accurate a representation of my current tastes and interests as possible. for the past few years i’ve developed a deep passion for all things cooking and food related but i haven’t felt right launching into food talk…
