Miso Chicken with Braised Fennel

April 30, 2009

Boneless chicken breasts are one of those things I cope with for the sake of my relationship.

Bouchon-Inspired Lemon Tart

April 27, 2009

On my last trip to New York, I stood on the third floor of the Time Warner Center for about an hour just waiting to get into Bouchon Bakery. It didn’t work out — the person we were meeting was on a tight schedule — so we ended up eating salads at Whole Foods. Ever [...]

Vegetarian Passover Main Dishes

See the notes before each recipe for ways to make recipe non-dairy. One week from today, Jews will celebrate the holiday of Passover, in which we tell the story of our enslavement in Egypt, our eventual exodus from slavery, and our future wandering in the desert and entering of the land of Israel.
