I could write a long introduction telling you how delicious these are or some history but I’ll save that for my next cocktail. All you really need to know is in the recipe and most people just skip to that anyway.

Somewhere between a Kulebyaka and a midwestern meat pie (which I honestly didn’t know was a thing until the internet told me so, if you’re familiar please share!) this savory meat pie made with ground beef and an enriched dough is comfort food for a crowd (or for two) easily sharable and even when your […]

Flat bread not flatbread and not quite focaccia this umm bread is a riff on my go-to flatbread, the Afghan Home style Naan from the wonderful Flatbreads and Flavors Cookbook.

Strawberries are almost in season here. At the very least they are now arriving from California not Mexico. Baby steps toward spring. Though I guess we are already entering spring’s second stage here. Daffodils have given way to tulips and the lilacs are just starting to bloom. I have a confession. I didn’t follow a […]
