Millet is a quirky grain: with a sunny yellow color and perfect round shape, it fluffs up perfectly when cooked, but quickly becomes dry as it cools. Raw, it smells slightly sweet, milky and almost musky. It’s the kind of smell that makes me want to bake breakfast-y things like my mother’s milk pudding. To [...]

The end of winter is a challenging time to find fresh, good-looking veggies in New York. The stored roots are getting old, and most of the produce that’s shipped from all across the continent understandably lacks the vital freshness that instantly inspires meals. I find that steaming cheers up any selection of vegetables you have [...]

I’m so excited to tell you all what I have been up to. I started writing my first cookbook this past summer and have been busy testing and shooting recipes for the last 6 months. It has been, and continues to be a deeply inspiring and challenging experience that I’m over the moon to be [...]

October in New York is my absolute favorite time of year to cook. The green market is full of robust, dark leafy greens, sweet winter squash, sweet corn and peppers. It’s chilly enough outside to welcome the warmth from veggies roasting in the oven inside, yet not too cold for a room temperature salad like [...]

Aduki beans seem to be the last bean on my mind, and therefore plate once the weather gets hot. I usually find them more appealing in wintery soups and stews or simmered with squash and ginger in the fall. Somehow I forget to adapt them for the summery months, but I never overlook how especially [...]

This salad is a perfect way to use up the odd root vegetable or few that may be lying around your kitchen or fridge drawer. I’ve used red and gold beets, carrots and sweet potatoes here but winter squash, parsnip and turnips work really well too. As the title suggests this is also a great [...]

This time last year my friend Bianca suggested I make an all red salad for a Valentine’s dinner I was preparing. When I saw blood oranges, radicchio and baby beets at the store yesterday I was reminded of her idea and began gathering other ingredients that would turn shades of pink when combined with the [...]

I always savor the last week of the year. To me it’s the ideal cozy and reflective time, where you can stay home, read, write, take baths and catch up with yourself. This is the first year in a long time that I have actually done any of those things, as there is usually travel, guests [...]
