a common table is out!
It's out! A Common Table is on shelves today, and I need someone to just pinch me now. ...
pappardelle with lamb ragu
I'm back! It's the Friday before A Common Table ventures out in the world, therefore (1) the last Friday to preorder, if you like, and (2) the first Friday of a ton of giveaways of some of my most favorite things in the book over the next two months! ...
a common table: events and preorder fun!
Hi friends! Just popping in to share a few cookbook-related tidbits now that there's just one week (!!) to go until A Common Table is out in the world! It still doesn't feel totally real, despite the whole box of copies that arrived last week for ...
salted yolk & lotus paste beignets
Beignets! It's been awhile since a capital-P Project has landed on this blog.

curried couscous with roasted cauliflower
As it turns out, one of the happier features of law school and, now, law firm life is the dependable occurrence of free lunches at least once a week--whether for a talk, or a deposition, or just inexplicably placed in a breakroom and abandoned for three hours (that's okay, I'll still eat it). As someone who will happily consume anything that's ...
a common table cover and preorders!
It's real! Two years of reminiscing about favorite family recipes, making messes in the kitchen, running around during naptimes, washing (and washing, and washing) dishes, and a little bit of manic refreshing of online book listings, and A Common ...
