What are these crazy-looking things?! They’re very pretty and twisty, but I honestly had no idea what to make of them when I spotted them at our local farmer’s market last Saturday. It turns out that garlic scapes are a late spring/early-summer thing – they’re the part of the garlic that grows above ground, and [...]
When I was a little girl I read all the time, and I mean that literally: I read while eating, on the bus to and from school every day, and even while walking down the street (some minor collisions were involved). One summer, I read the entirety of The Mists Of Avalon while seated on the [...]

For awhile I [...]
Here’s my favorite thing about cooking, which also happens to be the reason that I hate hate hate baking (which requires precision and adherence to things like “rules”) with a passion: with cooking, once you know the basics, you’re probably OK. And you can adjust whatever it is that you feel like eating to suit [...]
