The weather has been looking up lately. Lots of days with nice sun, not too hot, have made me start to think about day trips I can take just to soak it all in. My husband always jokes with me that I’m like a Neapolitan mother because whenever we go anywhere I always pack lots…
Pauline Boldt, Tina Jones, and Maria Curatolo bring their collective expertise in photography, wine, and food together to form Le Tre, a one-stop resource for visual stimulation, recipes, restaurant recommendations, and more. You will have seen a few recipes from their stable, like the cornmeal cake with candied lemons, roast pork, and holiday gin and…
In celebration of Black History Month, for the past three weeks I’ve chosen recipes that remind me of my home in a black family from the South in the United States. I realize that the recipes have been so incredibly rich that they can’t be regular staples. I purposely let our cholesterol run wild so I…
This week’s recipe for French Toast and Sweet and Spicy Bacon by photographer Stacy Newgent reminded me how much I love French toast (and bacon!). I’ve mentioned before my culinary rituals when I visit the United States, and together with hamburger sampling, great breakfasts rank at the top of my list. My favorite French toast…
This week’s recipe is from Matt and Renato at Baked. I learned about Baked when Grace visited Matt and Renato in their bakery a few years ago and produced this video. I was curious about their recipes and got their beautiful book, made a chocolate cake from it for my office and gained superstar status….
This week’s recipe for a Blueberry Cake comes from Susan Schwake of artstream studios in Rochester, New Hampshire. I like to tease Susan about living in a little cabin in the big woods and about getting all of her provisions from Nelly’s general store. (Those of you who ever read the book or watched Little…
When I went to Australia earlier this year, I overdosed on egg and bacon rolls. I sent an enthusiastic email to Grace about how I was enjoying recreating my own here at home, and she wrote me back that she is pretty much vegan these days. I was a bit crestfallen that my enthusiasm for…
We met Jenny and Teri, the team behind Spoon Fork Bacon, earlier today with their Honey-Rum Fizz. We thought their recipe for no-yeast cake dougnuts was perfect for the holidays too, especially for those of you who need to prepare something for Santa when he slides down the chimney, or for whoever has present-wrapping duty…
I will share a little secret with you: Every time I think about eating honey, I either hear the Abba song “Honey Honey” in my head, or I think about Pooh getting stuck in the opening to Rabbit’s den because he ate too much honey and condensed milk (never mind the bread). I thought about…
While reading through Jo Metcalf Scott & Co.’s sneak peek on Monday, I was delighted to discover a link to her flat mate’s friend’s cake business, Rhubarb and Rose. Normally, I don’t need any encouragement to go out and seek great cake, but something about this cake and the happy mom-to-be just made me so…
Usually, we try to alternate the recipes on In the Kitchen With between savory and sweet for a balance. If ever there were a reason you’d excuse me for not keeping up the alternation, I’m betting this week’s recipe by photographer and pastry chef Kathrin Koschitzki for confiture caramel au beurre salé (salted caramel spread)…
The second-ever recipe featured on In the Kitchen With in 2007 was with Julia Rothman for her favorite crêpes with blueberries, bananas and chocolate. This time around, we’ve got a crêpe recipe from Parisienne Catherine Taret. (You may remember her lovely apartment sneak peek featured last year.) Catherine provides a variety of ideas for serving crêpes…
Today I’m really excited to have a recipe from the very newly released Super Natural Every Day cookbook by Heidi Swanson, author of 101cookbooks blog. When we asked her which recipe from the book was her favorite, she chose Roasted Strawberries.. The first strawberries are showing up in markets now so hopefully this gives you…
Tess Darrow of Egg Press has shared a recipe for a Dutch baby with us this week that is the perfect base for any seasonal fruit you may have on hand. While she has done it with blackberries, I could easily see it with caramelized pears, the last of the plums or divinely prepared quinces…
Pancakes have taken a very special place in my heart, ever since I learned how much my father loves them. Each year when I’m home at Christmas, we go out for pancakes to my favorite pancake place, The Pancake Pantry. In the lead up to Christmas this year, I couldn’t resist bringing you prop stylist Martha…
I was introduced to Rachel Khoo by photographer Keiko Oikawa and stylist Elodie Rambaud, both of whom had many wonderful things to say about Rachel’s work. Rachel is currently working on her second cookbook, so it was quite an honor that she took time out of her crazy hectic schedule to share and shoot a…
During most of the year, I eat my breakfast while checking e-mails in the morning: a couple slices of toast, or something sweet left over from the week’s In the Kitchen With column (yes, I do try almost every recipe which appears here so that I am sure the recipes work!). When I am back…
[image credits: Bridesmaid, couple, and napkin/plate images by Max Wanger, Couch image by Ye Rin Mok, Pancake image unkown, Calligraphy by Rifle Design, Ranunculus image] When researching inspiration for this shoot, we kept coming back to the beautiful wedding of Holly and Billy which was originally featured on the lovely blog, 100 Layer Cake, and…
Chris Chun is one of my absolute favorite artists. Seeing his work up close and watching him work in painstaking delicate detail gives me the goosebumps! In addition to being a fantastic multi-media artist, he comes from a foodie family and he got the foodie genes. He’s a fantastic cook! He would have preferred to…
last week we shared sabra krock’s delicious maple sour cream muffins (and beautiful photos) and this week we’re keeping the brunch theme going with another fantastic recipe from diana and lisel of the jewels of new york. today they’re sharing a savory farmhouse breakfast: chicken hash with fried eggs, a citrus melody and a seriously…
