When you've had your fill of corn on the cob: it's corn fritter time 🌽🌽🌽🌽
This is a longtime favorite Deborah Madison recipe, and it's one of my favorites to make this time of year.
If you hate cilantro, omit it. Use all-purpose flour or any gluten-free flour you like 👍👍

From @jessie sheehan ‘s Snackable Bakes: one-bowl lemon-blueberry loaf cake 🍋🍋🫐🫐 It’s so easy, so delicious, and so perfect for your morning ☕️☕️
Friends, I don’t even know where to begin with this recipe and all the things I love about it, namely the clever mixing method to ensure every bite is bursting with blueberries but also the ingredient list as well as the one-bowl nature of it all 🤗🤗
Everything I’ve made from Snackable Bakes has been outstanding 💯💯

The simple dressing that taught my kids to love salad 🥗🥗🥗
In my family it’s known as Great Aunt Phyllis’s Salad Dressing, and my extended family uses it to dress our version of a Greek salad, which is not a traditional horiatiki Greek salad but which is delicious nonetheless 🇬🇷
It’s a little less sharp than many dressings, which is why, I think, my children (and people in general) love it so much 💗

Pasta Carbonara with leek, lemon, and asparagus: a springtime favorite ☀️☀️
This is a longtime favorite recipe from Everyday Food, and over the years, I've made it in countless ways: with bacon or without, with asparagus or peas, with lots of greens, with countless variety of pasta shapes. It's endlessly adaptable and always turns out well 💯

As soon as asparagus season arrives, this is one of the first recipes I make: raw asparagus salad with walnuts, bread crumbs, and parmesan 💯💯
The recipe comes from Joshua McFadden’s Six Seasons, one of my favorite cookbooks, and it is completely addictive 👍👍
The recipe is linked in bio 🤗
Also: HIEEEEEEEE. I've missed you. I have been finishing up my pizza book manuscript, which has finally been turned in . Lots more to do, of course, but feels good to have the first draft complete.
Hope all is well! 💗💗💗

Nigella Lawson's Dense Chocolate Loaf Cake (with coffee and booze) ☕️🥃🍫🎉
Many of you have likely made this widely adored cake from Nigella Lawson’s How to Be a Domestic Goddess, but if you haven't, I highly recommend you give it a try. Immediately.
• I hadn't made it in ages, and I've made it twice now in two weeks. It's the kind of cake that gets better by the day and it's equally delicious after dinner as it is with a cup of coffee or tea.
A few notes:
• Recipe is linked in profile.
• If you are avoiding coffee and/or booze, simply use water in their place. The coffee flavor, incidentally, is indiscernible but it intensifies the chocolate flavor.
• If you do not have a 9x5-inch (or larger) loaf pan, be sure to use two pans otherwise the cake will not bake properly and will potentially spill over the edges.
• When the cake is done, an inserted toothpick may not come out clean because it is such a damp, moist cake. If you have an instant-read thermometer, it will register around 205ºF when the cake is done.
• Hope you love it. It's soooo good.

If you find yourself making Detroit style pizza this weekend, here are some tips to keep in mind 🍕🍕🍕
First: I have @realcleverfood and @jimmyhank_pizza to thank for sharing their knowledge (over on Instagram).
Getting DSP just right is a real balancing act, and to get the dough cooked before the toppings burn has been a challenge for me. Adding a parbake has been the missing piece of the puzzle 🤗
A parbake is also essential for creating that lacy, dramatic cheese frico crust 💯
Final note: this isn’t necessarily true DSP but it falls in the category and is inspired by the style 🍕

Start your dough tonight if you’re looking for something crowd pleasing for tomorrow’s festivities 🏈🏈🏈

I learned to make Thai chicken curry while working at Fork many years ago. The chef I worked for was Vietnamese and had spent years living and working throughout Asia. His chicken curry recipe continues to be a family favorite, but I recently discovered that my whole family loves it just as much when chickpeas are swapped in for the chicken 🤗🎉
This is a one-pot wonder that comes together incredibly quickly and is so very satisfying.

The New Basics Puttanesca Sauce: so easy and so good 💯💯
My neighbor introduced me to this sauce nearly a decade ago now, and it's been a favorite ever since.
It calls for essentially combining all pantry items and simmering for 1 hour. The recipe is linked in profile.
Also: For pasta, I am using cascatelli, the new pasta shape created by Dan Pashman of the @sporkful sold by @sfoglini. I love it! It catches all of the irresistible nuggets in the puttanesca sauce so nicely.

If you’ve never made Ina Garten’s vodka sauce, I think it’s time to try 🍝🍝🍝
This is a longtime favorite Ina recipe (from her cookbook, Foolproof) and while it does require a lengthy cooking time in the oven, it is so worth it: the flavors sweeten and concentrate in the oven, making it complex and irresistible 💯💯

If you think you only like tofu when it's fried and crispy, you must try this warm tofu with spicy garlic sauce 🧄🧄🌶️🌶️
This Korean recipe appeared in the February 2009 Gourmet, and I've been making it ever since. It takes no time to throw together, and it is so tasty and satisfying.

If you are sensitive to salt, use low-sodium soy sauce or tamari.
