Beggar’s Soup (Persian Rice, Lentil, & Herb Soup)

Beggar’s Soup (Persian Rice, Lentil, & Herb Soup)

In my cooking class this past week, we focused on braising—making braised lamb shanks, braised leeks, a French lentil salad, escarole salad, and a chocolate mousse. I had a little bit of braised lamb left over from the class, so I decided to make this soup from one of my favorite cookbooks, Najmieh Batmanglij’s Food of … Continue reading Beggar’s Soup (Persian Rice, Lentil, & Herb Soup)

Biscuits & Sausage Gravy

This was our extra-hearty Christmas morning breakfast today, prepared by Andrew’s dad. Delicious! We’re in Phoenix with Andrew’s family for a week, and the weather will be in the low 70’s the entire time—I’m so excited. Here we are on our post-breakfast hike today. For the rest of the day we’re planning on reading (I’m … Continue reading Biscuits & Sausage Gravy

Pumpkin Soup with Chestnuts & Chorizo

It feels great to be cooking and blogging again—I missed my regular Monday post this week because I caught a bad cold and then a multi-day stomach virus on top of that! It’s hard to cook and write about food when you’re eating yogurt and plain rice, curled up on the couch watching Gilmore Girls … Continue reading Pumpkin Soup with Chestnuts & Chorizo

Apple Pomegranate Harvest Salad

Happy October, everyone! Andrew and I just got back from our honeymoon in Greece last week (it was so beautiful and the food was delicious—I’ll do a post on that soon! And yes, I’ll share some wedding photos too!), and I’m really excited to be cooking and blogging again. We tried so many tasty foods … Continue reading Apple Pomegranate Harvest Salad

Tasting Wedding Wines

Things are coming together for the wedding in three weeks, but we still haven’t figured out the red wines! We’re having a pig roast with mac & cheese + veggie sides, so Andrew and I decided to conduct some market research (we are the target market here, so that part is easy!) pairing a few … Continue reading Tasting Wedding Wines

Mushroom Mélange + Poached Egg on Toast

I’ve really lucked out in life in that I haven’t ended up with a picky eater for a partner. When I want to order steak tartare, kale salad, pâté, stinky cheeses, and funky wines, Andrew is right there with me. He’s not allergic to gluten, shellfish, dairy, or peanuts. He’s definitely not vegetarian. He even loves … Continue reading Mushroom Mélange + Poached Egg on Toast

Neapolitan Meatballs in Tomato Sauce

Have you read the Neapolitan Novels yet? I just finished the 4-part series by Italian writer Elena Ferrante, and I’ve been recommending them to everyone. (Find the first book, My Brilliant Friend, here. Just try not to judge by the cover!) Some of my favorite authors mention food (and fashion!) often, and Ferrante is one of … Continue reading Neapolitan Meatballs in Tomato Sauce

Pasta with Potatoes, Savoy Cabbage, & Garlic Scape Pesto

This weekend I hosted a rehearsal for a music project I’m leading, and afterward we chowed down on this pasta, with some bread and a bottle of rosé. It was all fantastic—a beautiful day full of cooking, friends, and creative music. I guess balance in life is important though, because here I am on Monday … Continue reading Pasta with Potatoes, Savoy Cabbage, & Garlic Scape Pesto
