After the autumn equinox comes the rush of recipes with spices and autumn produce. If you’re looking for something quick and fall-inspired this weekend, try the cheater skillet pizza or the pasta with cauliflower and sausage. If you feel like baking, don’t miss out on the chai sweet potato cupcakes (oh boy) and apple fritters. And make delicious leftovers for the week with the help of this easy kale potato gratin.
This colorful kitchen counter combines three of our very favorite things: IKEA, Legos, and creativity.
The counter was created by two Parisian designers Simon Pillard and Philippe Rosetti in their own kitchen. It took them almost a full week to complete the colorful creation.
Who needs a rooster? The chicken, or the egg? Neither. Just in case you would like a little brush-up on chicken reproductive systems, here’s a lovely poster that explains just where eggs come from.

By now, you’ve gotten to know my narrow Hanoi kitchen and how it’s proven to be great for day-to-day cooking. A couple weeks ago, Allen and I put it to the test by inviting our friends from Vietnam, England, Germany, and France over to cook three different dishes together. We made fresh egg and pineapple spring rolls with homemade dipping sauce, Thai red curry, and pancakes with fresh fruit and ice cream for dessert. It was delicious! Here’s a peek at the party.
A good cup of coffee is an essential part of my morning, and there are many ways to achieve this necessity. Drip coffee makers, single-cup brewers, the French press. But if I had to choose just one way to make coffee, one that delivered good taste and convenience without much expense, I would have to go with the AeroPress — a strange-looking little gadget that produces a superb cup of coffee.
The AeroPress is inexpensive and so, so fast. Here’s how to use one!
The kitchen is a breeding ground for things like lids, boards, and trays that are of similar size and shape, but that don’t fit or stack well in cupboards. The key, perhaps, is to stand them up instead of laying them down.
Here are five clever vertical storage solutions that look at things a little differently.

“This is a basic recipe that you can play with for seasonings and ingredients. My first batch was good, but since then I’ve experimented with more or less spice, other veggies like mushrooms, and meat. It’s different every time I make it now. Serve over basmati rice with naan bread.”
