Now as you know, not every cooking experiment goes to plan, and not every recipe is a success. I recently tried this recipe from The New York Times for a tofu mushroom quiche, but alas, my tweaks did not turn out a runaway success. (Sometimes you win with your tweaks and sometimes you lose.) I […]
Regular readers know that I’m big into quiche. To me, it’s just such an easy food to throw together with whatever vegetables you have around the house. It looks fancy, but it’s really easy and pretty fast to put together. A few months ago, The New York Times featured a recipe for a tomato quiche that sounded […]
In case you haven’t already figured this out, I love food. I love cooking it and I love eat it. I’m always looking for ways to improve upon flavors and textures, so even though I’ve written about veggie burgers here, here, and here, I want to share with you a new iteration. This time, I […]
One of the tougher things about giving up dairy at home has been my love of cheese, but I’m determined to eat very little animal protein at home (and I’ve become more lactose intolerant over the years), so I’ve managed not to give in and buy any cheese. In many ways, I think it’s made […]

I love cooking, and I love photography—but sometimes I don’t have time to share my photos on the blog. I’m delving back into my photo back-log to bring you posts about things that happened long enough ago that I don’t remember the exact details. These are my approximate recollections. Back in the fall, my friend […]
I’ve been meaning to cook with the farro (an ancient variety of wheat-related grain) I bought a few weeks ago, so I decided to make a risotto-style dish with what I had lying around. Farro is pretty easy to prepare, and I find that with enough water to start, you don’t need to pre-soak it. […]
One of the big perks of working in the Union Square area is the greenmarket. On Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays (plus the weekends), we have access to tons of local farmers, bakers, and other food producers. I don’t usually shop with a plan in mind, but I do try to pick things that I know […]
