Baby Lion’s Head Meatballs with Braised Cabbage

They’re made of pork, but these meatballs are nicknamed “Lion’s Head” in Shanghainese cuisine, because they’re usually made in gigantic proportions. Larger than a baseball, that is. But I was going to a holiday party — and I had just been to a holiday party — where bite-sized morsels were precursory. So I shrank the […]

Make Pizza

THEORY: SKIP LEAFY GREENS, OPT FOR GREEN BEANS No need to head to the store for a clamshell of arugula or spring mix—just grab a handful of leftover sautéed green beans for crunch, color, and the ability to feel a bit better about eating three of these things.

Lamp Roast

THEORY: THE MASHED POTATOES MUST BE SMOOTH If you’re staring down the barrel of a bowl of sad, lumpy mashed potatoes it might already be too late. I say might because you may be able to save them: Try passing those less-than-ideal spuds through a potato ricer to smooth out the chunky bits.

Soft-Scrambled Eggs and Spinach on Toast

Soft-scrambled eggs are my new butter. They’re my new ricotta. They’re my new avocado smeared onto toast, so in fashion today.

With the re-embrace of eggs from a health perspective (not to mention its being an eggcelent protein for economy’s sake), it seems eggs can do no harm poached, fried, or hard-boiled on even the finest restaurant plates. But egg salad? Perhaps the […]

Apple Cheddar Scones with Rosemary

The reign of salty sweets is in full-swing, and I’d be hard-pressed to find a cookie or creme anglais that didn’t have some ratio of both from a chef or bakery owner these days. Salty caramel, sea salt chocolate, and salty pretzel-studded desserts are here–and have been around to some degree all along, but now […]
