This week we are bringing you a great summer salad from Tyler Herald, executive chef at Napolese Pizzeria, an Indianopolis restaurant that uses the produce of more than ten local farmers on its menu. Tyler’s summer green bean salad with cherry tomatoes and peach gastrique just jumped off the page at me and I so…
I must admit it has been a bit of a strange summer weather-wise. Temperatures in Rome, while normally excessive and hot, have been pretty pleasant. All the same, still I’m mindful of the fact that maybe turning on the oven isn’t exactly what people would like to do in summer. As I was flipping through a Culinary Institute…
Summer for many is an exciting time because of berry season. We, for example, have a horribly unkempt yard with an unnavigable thicket. I believe we keep it that way solely for the possibility of shredding our arms and legs to ribbons so that we can pick our own wild blackberries each year. For my…
We took the day off last Friday in honor of the 4th. This week to make up for it, we’re bringing you a very very simple yet refreshing gin-based cocktail, the Southside, by Raul Zelaya, the person behind the Death to Sour Mix cocktails website. I’ll share a little secret with you, I took Raul’s…
After six years of editing In the Kitchen With, almost fifteen years living in Rome and a protracted period of reflection and editing, I will finally be writing a cookbook – together with food historian, journalist and sommelier, Katie Parla! Our book, which will be published by Clarkson Potter in 2016, will present a complete picture…
This week we have Sarah Coates from The Sugar Hit, back by very popular demand. We loved her sweet potato chips so much, and judging by the number of pins that recipe got, so did you, so we decided to have Sarah back. Here is what she calls a “Frenchie Burger,” a modern twist on…
Once upon a time a long, long time ago, I had a blog on which I interviewed a lot of forward-thinking people in the design and food industries. One of those people was Rachel Grisewood, previous CEO and founder of Manna From Heaven and the Sydney Biscuit Company. After I interviewed Rachel in her then…
This week’s recipe comes to us all the way from Sydney, one of my absolute favorite cities in the world. I stumbled across engineer Steph Michaelis’ blog, Raspberri Cupcakes, when I was taking my weekly Pinterest stroll. I couldn’t believe that a non-full-time baker had developed so many amazing and professional recipes and had baked and…
When I first started editing this column a few years ago, I wasn’t big on cocktails, so I’d give them all to my husband. Now each month I look forward to making the cocktails and tasting them. This week’s recipe is a take on the classic cocktail, the Negroni. This version, the Stolen Negroni, was shared with…
Alright, you know me by now… When I get on a kick, I turn into Motormouth Maybelle. I can’t stop talking about stuff I’m loving, and this week’s recipe has been an obsession for some time. One Saturday morning a few years ago, I stumbled into the St John Bakery near Maltby Street in London,…
Although we did a roundup last week of great ideas for picnic food to welcome the warm weather, I was so seduced by the simplicity of this week’s recipes for watermelon salad and guacamole deviled eggs, that I thought I’d include them as a sort of postscript to last week’s post. The author of these…
Picnic weather has finally arrived! Those of us who experienced the polar vortex this winter (again and again) thought these blue skies and affable temperatures would never come. Now is the time to take advantage of this weather, before pleasant breezes and warm sun become oppressive, blistering heat. To help you prepare to pass some…
A couple of years ago, my father started talking incessantly about waffles, so for his birthday, I gave him the fanciest waffle maker on the market. Since then, pancakes have been replaced by waffles on holidays at his house. Mother’s Day is this Sunday, the perfect holiday to make this recipe for Gluten-Free Waffles with Strawberry…
This week’s Behind the Bar is a special twist on one of my favorite summer cocktails, the Pimm’s cup. Instead of the traditional Pimm’s cup, we have a Pimm’s Blackberry Elderflower Lemonade Cocktail created by one of my favorite photographers, Matt Armendariz. Matt has a very accomplished career in food on the creative side, which…
Last week for Easter we featured a very traditional recipe for hot cross buns, a sweet bun I associate quite closely with England and Australia, but not so much with the US (despite the nursery rhyme!). This week, in contrast, we are featuring Soft Cinnamon Rose Rolls with Creme Fraiche Icing, a sweet bun that I…
A wave of cold has blown over so many places in the northern hemisphere, it’s hard to believe that Easter is on Sunday. To celebrate, we chose to share a recipe for honey cardamom hot cross buns by British food blogger and cookbook author, April Carter. Hot cross buns are traditional at Easter in the…
I’ve been doing more cooking than usual lately, and one of the dishes I’ve most enjoyed has been with cod. We’ve done very few fish recipes on the column that didn’t involve the grill…in fact, we’ve done grilled scallops, a whole roasted fish, and a catfish curry. So I thought it would be nice to…
Last week I had the pleasure of taking a food tour here in Rome led by food historian and food journalist, Katie Parla. Though I have known Katie for quite a while, I’ve never taken one of her tours, instead relying on her blog (which has been nominated this year in the best culinary travel…
Today’s recipe is for a classic drink, the margarita. Photographer Stacy Newgent has broken her almost-famous margarita recipe down into a simple ratio that will enable you to remember how to make it wherever you may be, such as snowed in during a polar vortex in middle America, which is where Stacy was when she perfected…
This week’s recipe from Australian food-blogger, Sarah Coates, combines two of my favorite foods: sweet potatoes and chips. We’ve had quite a few sweet potato recipes on the column because it is a wonderful, vitamin rich food that lends itself well to many dishes like these gnocchi, this gluten-free pie, and today’s recipe for sweet…
