Kale Malfatti with Brown Butter and Pumpkin from Chef Jenn Louis' next cookbook, Book of Greens.
The Book of Greens from Portland Chef Jenn Louis comes out in April, but I’m not going to be able to wait that long to talk about the kale malfatti with brown butter and pumpkin.By then, we’ll be at the very…
One of the things I'm going to do with DailyWaffle is tackle some cuisines and dishes I haven't really cooked at home, starting with Persian food. I'm planning to do injera, the Ethiopian flatbread made with teff flour; Beef Wellington, although the idea of screwing up a gorgeous piece of beef tenderloin is scary; and…
It’s not often I get to say, one of the main characters is a delusional, megalomaniac sh-tstain and you should really read this book. But that’s the deal with Too Late by C. Hoover. Fair warning, this is not Colleen Hoover’s usual MO. This book is dark and graphic — drugs, mental illness, abuse, murder…
I'm beginning to think I should call my husband the Grad School Gourmet. For a poor grad student back East, he ate pretty surprisingly well. Instead of packets of instant noodles, he'd buy giant bags of beans and rice to get by. He usually ate these lentils and rice with a little fresh tomato on…
With 12 days to go until Christmas, there's no sign of the treat train letting up. It's one of the benefits to working from home, no break room donuts or cookies or cake to tempt you. Of course, when you yourself go to See's Candy to pick up a few pieces, because it's Christmastime and…
During the holidays, Trader Joe's is a minefield of treats, from Peppermint Joe Joe's to chocolate advent calendars to Jingle Jangle candy-pretzel mix.

And I'm just done with turkey for now. I'm not hating…

Go look in your pantry and fridge and almost certainly you’ll find these eight items in your kitchen: black pepper, garlic, vanilla, chili powder, curry, soy sauce, sriracha, and MSG. They’ve been there so long, you probably…
Sometimes a cocktail is born of what you have around. Last Sunday as we were settling in to an afternoon of football, I realized we were low on vodka, which put a damper on our Moscow Mule plans. I'm constantly looking for ways to learn to enjoy bourbon and this maple cider cocktail might just be…
It's been a bit of a whirlwind, hasn't it? Halloween, followed by the Election, and now all of a sudden it's time to start thinking about the holidays. Whether you've got a few friends stopping in for drinks, or a full blown holiday party on your agenda, I've got an appetizer you're gonna want to put…
