A Humble Italian Dish The pork lends this sauce its fattiness, the wine gives a balanced acidity and the pancetta delivers all the wholesome saltiness you could ever want from an ingredient. I like this sauce with tubetti or short mezzi rigatoni, so that it gets into all the holes.

The aged grass-fed beef is griddled, then served big, thick and juicy with vibrant green chiles and cheese. This burger is one for… Read More →

A Simple, Elegant Meal I adore poached salmon. No one poaches fish anymore, but it’s the ultimate feed-a-crowd meal. Plus, this recipe provides great leftovers (think salmon salad, salmon cakes, salmon aspic).

Celebrating the Festival of Lights My Jewish grandmother’s comfort-food classics are stellar, from chopped liver and tongue to matzo ball soup and brisket. She was an ace in the kitchen, rendering her own chicken fat for her recipes and giving me the cracklings to snack on when they were crispy and the fat was clear and golden. Her… Read More →
