Before these little cheesecakes, my cheesecake experience was solely and shamelessly limited to this -- the seven-ingredient recipe on the back of the Philadelphia cream cheese box. It was five ingredients if you bought the Keebler crust in its own ...

baked yeast doughnuts with hibiscus glaze
mul naengmyeon (korean cold noodles)
It's the last week of August and I'm sad about it! I know, technically summer doesn't end for another three weeks and change, it's still plenty humid here in Brooklyn and the heat in the subway stations still closes around us like a fist every morning on the platform, but my grieving has already started. I'm such a sucker for spring and summer. ...
frankies spuntino caesar salad with salmon
A few months ago, a super exciting thing happened and I leveled up into my own office at work (we share for the first few years). OK, so it's true, it has no windows. That comes after three years. But for the first time I have a little cave all to myself! I went a tad crazy decorating my haven with gratuitously shiny
udon noodles with sesame dipping sauce
When we came back from Japan, I didn't think I'd try to recreate any of the magical, thoughtfully, wonderfully-made food we had while we were there. It all seemed way beyond my ken -- a just-so balance of kombu and bonito, a dollop of miso and things I couldn't even guess at, hand-pulled and ...

I feel like my first fig sighting is always one of the best days of the summer, even if it means fall isn't far away, but this year I've been even more eager than usual to catch a glimpse of those plump little soldiers ...

charred corn with miso butter, bacon & garlic scapes
Last Saturday, when we were still puttering around in the throes of jet lag, a good friend dropped by to help ease us back into the real world. She belongs to that lucky (for us) class of friends where the apartment is never too ...
white nectarine & lychee cobbler
We're back! So far, married life has mostly consisted of (a) jet lag, (b) coffee, and (c) delivery pizza. Our first morning back we woke up at 3 AM, B2 played video games in our brightly-lit living room against a pitch-black window and it felt like a super fun sleepover all-nighter, and then we spent the more mundane mornings after that consuming ...
