Tomato-baked fish
This easy, adaptable seafood dinner is a longtime favorite. Fresh garden tomatoes, garlic, olives, and capers bake into a savory, briny sauce that's perfect for soaking up with crusty bread.
Big & chewy oatmeal raisin cookies
What makes a cookie chewy? A question from my brother-in-law sparked a little research and a cookie-size experiment. The result: big, thick oatmeal raisin cookies with crisp edges and soft, chewy centers.
Butternut squash risotto
This butternut squash risotto is exactly what I want to eat when the weather turns cool. It’s creamy and toothsome, with parmesan, butter, black pepper, and a touch of nutmeg.
Red chard with balsamic
Garden-fresh red chard sautéed with red onion and finished with a splash of balsamic. Simple, colorful, and delicious.
Garden tomato salsa
A simple salsa that puts ripe garden tomatoes front and center, with red onion, cilantro, lime, and salt. Perfect for making the most of a late-season tomato haul—and best served with plenty of tortilla chips.
Brown butter chocolate chip cookies
Caramely brown butter, dark brown sugar, bittersweet chocolate, and a sprinkle of coarse sea salt. These are the chocolate chip cookies I’ve been making—and coming back to—for 15 years.
