Grilled Rib Eye Steaks with Garlic Butter
This is the moment we’ve been waiting for—thick- cut, beefy rib eye steaks grilled to medium-rare perfection and slathered with a house-made garlic butter.
Sugar Snap, Cabbage, and Radish Slaw with Buttermilk Dressing
Crunchy, juicy raw sugar snaps, frilly napa cabbage, and crisp, sharp radishes tossed in an herby, creamy, and slightly spicy dressing make this slaw a craveable side dish for fish or chicken—or all on its own.
Bucatini with Pea Pesto, Ricotta, and Shaved Asparagus
This simple yet satisfying pasta dish requires no cooking (aside from the pasta), making it quick to throw together.
Cast-Iron Skillet Chicken with Fingerling Potatoes
This is a riff on a dish that was a staple weeknight dinner in my childhood home and now is once again in my own family’s household.
Tagan Engel’s Mulberry or Juneberry Pie Filling and Hand Pies
Finding free, wild-growing food in the city gets my heart racing and my culinary juices flowing, especially when it comes to berries–especially mulberries and juneberries.
Polenta with Herbed Oil
This polenta takes its inspiration from spaghetti night, specifically everyone’s favorite accompaniment: good old-fashioned garlic bread.
Lamb Rib Burger With Pineapple Salsa
I could marry this burger if it was legal! Seriously, this is the best-tasting meat ever and that’s because of the lamb fat that surrounds it.
Strawberry Tartlets with Goat Cheese Filling
When strawberries are at their peak, I serve them as simply as possible: over a creamy, tart filling in a delicate, crackly crust—polite but delicious supporting players.
Helga’s Potato Salad
My mother’s potato salad is a staple on our holiday table, but the holiday was always and only Christmas Eve.
Dahi Bhalla, Nana Style
The street vendors of India are probably some of the greatest cooks in the world.
