Today’s Agenda: Math! Very basic math, I promise — it’s the only kind I know how to do. Some of you know, I’ve been baking bread for a local shop, The Vischer Ferry General Store*. Because of this, I pay more attention to the price of flour, and when I see a deal, I stock up. The best deal in town, for instance, can be found at the Niskayuna Co-op, when they run a special and sell a 5-lb....
From Yossy Arefi’s latest book, Snacking Bakes, this recipe, at first glance, looks like a classic. But upon closer inspection, you’ll quickly see it’s so much more. For one, it starts with two words that make my heart sing: brown butter. In addition to the lovely nuttiness brown butter lends to baked goods, it also assures me I’ll neither have to lug out my stand mixer nor soften any butter....
I’ve adapted the recipe a little bit to what I’ve had on hand — this, after all, is the beauty of a grain bowl, right? — but here are the essential components: An assertive dressing. I tend to dress everything with olive oil and vinegar, but Volger’s mix of lemon, tahini, garlic, and cumin is a nice change, and it complements the bulgur and lentils so well — slightly creamy, slightly smokey, slightly tangy....
Shortly after opening Cynthia McTernan’s A Common Table, I found myself reading about Chinese steamed buns, mainstays of the country’s breakfasts and snacks, fluffy white vehicles to be eaten on their own or stuffed with countless fillings from barbecued pork to egg custard. The recipe looked simple and surprisingly familiar, not unlike making a brioche roll: knead together a slightly sweet yeasted dough, let it rise, punch it down, divide, shape, and … steam!...

The best part, til revadi makes a perfect edible gift for friends and family wrapped in a pretty jar. Growing up, I remember my mom and my aunt making huge Rewari batches just before the Lohri.

Let’s start from the top: My friend Michelle has been telling me about this Instant Pot butter chicken recipe for years. For reasons I will get to, I only just got around to making it last month and instantly understood her enthusiasm. The meal takes no time to throw together, and it is very, very tasty. Five-sixths of my family inhaled it. Why is it so tasty? Well, there are spices and aromatics, tomatoes, flavorful chicken thighs (you could use breasts, of course), and, ahem, a stick of butter and a quarter cup of heavy cream....
Let’s start from the beginning. Five trips in three weeks to 2Amys Pizzeria in NW Washington DC (over an hour drive from my house) convinced me it was finally time to get my hands on some Tipo 00 flour, a soft-grain flour requisite in the production of D.O.C. Neapolitan pizza, an ingredient I’ve been thinking about for five years now. I hate to admit it and in retrospect it pains me, but a $7....

When possible, I avoid any preparation for fish that requires flipping, which never seems to go as smoothly as I would like. This is why I love methods like en papillote or skillet-grilling. Another favorite method is pan broiling: place a pan slicked with a few tablespoons of oil over high heat until the oil is nearly smoking, lower in a few fish fillets, then immediately stick the pan under a screaming hot broiler....
