In a world obsessed with “clean” eating, a food trend called “dirty soda,” seems like an unlikely candidate for virality—even less so considering it comes from Utah. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a wonderful state, but in the popular imagination it doesn’t have much of a culinary repu … | Continue reading

When I was growing up, my dad traveled a lot for work. He’d leave on a Monday and sometimes be gone for days. Once a year, his work would take him to the Pacific Northwest. I remember this because he would return from this trip each year with a special piece of cargo: fresh salmo … | Continue reading
It seems strange that there's only one day a year dedicated to celebrating moms—the women who taught us how to tie our shoes and blow our noses. They feed us, clothe us, and (when we're grown) share a drink with us to recall all the times they almost lost it while taking care of … | Continue reading
A Big Little Recipe has the smallest-possible ingredient list and big everything else: flavor, creativity, wow factor.

For years, my springform pan sat untouched in my kitchen cabinet. I'd initially bought it to bake a cheesecake for my dad's birthday (they're his favorite), but the thought of a sunken dessert and scorching hot water bath was too intimidating, so I settled on buying one from a lo … | Continue reading
One of the common goals of new and experienced gardeners alike is to grow an endless supply of herbs for cooking.

As a recent college grad who moved back home to New York City, I've been to countless apartment warming parties of friends who trickled into the Big Apple after graduation.

My current rental's kitchen has builder’s grade maple veneer cabinets. When I first saw them, I knew I wanted to cover them up with black contact paper (I am a renter, after all).

Australian finger limes (aka citrus australasica) are one of the silliest types of citrus fruit—and we mean that in the best way possible. They resemble short, stubby fingers and bear the nickname “caviar limes.” Finger limes are a type of tiny citrus fruit—a microcitrus actually … | Continue reading
Induction stovetops were first introduced at the World's Fair in Chicago in 1933, but didn’t really take off until the 1970s, and then again in the mid-2000s. While induction cooktops are still less popular than electric or gas ranges, they’ve slowly but surely gained popularity … | Continue reading

I once binge-read a murder mystery novel titled In My Dreams, I Hold a Knife in which a group of friends gather for their 10-year college reunion and attempt to uncover the truth about their friend’s murder during her senior year. In my dreams, I too hold a knife—a butter knife— … | Continue reading
My first encounter with Jägermeister was a summer in college, working as a shot girl at a bar called Coconuts.

I wish I could tell you that I learned how to open a coconut while I was vacationing in Tahiti, or that I first cracked one open out of thirst-quenching necessity after a day spent surfing Oahu's North Shore. But I’ve never been to Tahiti, and I immediately run toward shore at th … | Continue reading
When it comes to dessert recipes, it’s all too easy for ingredient lists to become very long, very fast. Most of the time, they can’t help themselves. Take this yellow layer cake with chocolate frosting for instance. There are a dozen ingredients—and most of those are non-negotia … | Continue reading
There’s a lot to love about Publix beyond its heartwarming holiday commercials and the famous subs. The supermarket’s bakery is, bar none, one of the best in the country (at least when it comes to grocery stores), presenting rows of freshly prepared pastries, cakes, pies, and coo … | Continue reading
For someone who lives and breathes food and beverage, I am certifiably not a coffee snob. I own zero coffee equipment, have no caffeine routine, and have never made coffee at home. It’s not that I don’t like stuff, I’m just deeply un-fussy about it. Pass me the $1 bodega brew or … | Continue reading

When the Super Bowl, March Madness, or World Series is on TV, I’m not paying attention to the game. There’s only one thing that has my undivided attention and that’s the snacks. And what’s a game day spread without chicken wings, tenders, and potstickers? Of course, these chicken … | Continue reading
My favorite room of my home is, by far, my bedroom. I spent weeks deliberating furnishings, wood tones, and a few pieces of lovely, affordable art. I also landed on a thick, cozy area rug, a big arm chair, and the most exquisite secondhand mirror to accent it all. But what I real … | Continue reading

Pass through any residential street in the suburbs and you'll probably notice trees with mulch piled up high around their bases. In gardening lingo, this is called a “mulch volcano,” something not only unnecessary—and a waste of mulch—but also harmful to the tree. Mulching, when … | Continue reading

It happened so fast. With the click of his cursor, Nicolas Cage ruined my life. Or at least several of my afternoons.

The miracle of this marinade would have been enough. Stir together a few ingredients, pour off half for a feisty Caesar dressing and save the rest to marinate your chicken? Brilliant. But then, don’t let that marinade sit for hours to soak in. Don’t even wipe any off. Just sizzle … | Continue reading
It’s an embarrassing personal confession that I’m a huge home cook but not the neat kind.
