Stir-fried tofu is not, perhaps, at the top of your list of scintillating weeknight dinners. But in its own humble, unassuming way, tofu can be downright sexy. Give it some time by itself in a hot wok, and you’ll get golden edges and bouncy texture that will surprise you with its ability to make you swoon.
When my child turned 1, it suddenly seemed like the world was conspiring to up her sugar intake. There were lollipops at the supermarket (and the bank), bowls of candy at family nights in our town square, birthday cupcakes at daycare, and fruit snacks at the playground. I had so much sugar anxiety that I once seriously debated skipping a friend’s party when I learned there would be store-bought cupcakes piled high with bright-blue frosting.
But I’ve learned to relax about sugar — much to the relief of my entire family. Here’s how.
Winter weather calls for cooking a meal low and slow on the stove for a couple of hours. The spices mixed with the meat or veggies (and maybe even a splash of wine) are guaranteed to make your home smell wonderful for hours. Stews and braises are closely related, with a defining difference: the amount of liquid used. But the most important thing they have in common? How delicious they are when served up for dinner on a cold, snowy night.

This bright new riff on the classic switchel features turmeric, which is a powerful anti-inflammatory and antiviral agent. I love sipping turmeric switchel after a workout, or using it as a cocktail mixer with fresh sugarcane spirits like cachaça and rhum agricole.
This week we dove into a few cookbooks to look at recipes that exemplified what it means to cook fresh from the pantry. The expected canned and jarred foods make an appearance, but the real lesson here is that cooking fresh from the pantry all depends on how willing you are to expand the definition of fresh.
Looking for an easy side dish of greens? Of course you are. We all need more greens in our diet, right? At least I do.
Chard is one of my favorite greens to cook because it’s more substantial than spinach (which seems to melt to nothing when you cook it), but more tender and less bitter than kale.
Usually I just sauté chopped chard in olive oil with some garlic. This time I peeled a parsnip down to its tough core and tossed the parsnips ribbons in with the chard.
