Why I Replaced One Spatula with Two — Kitchen Diary: Emily in Los Angeles
I cannot tell you how many months (eight? ten?) I have been intending to get a new spatula. As you can see in the bottom of the photo, my old spatula bears stains and deep scratches, frayed edges and a large missing chunk. Replacing Dear Old Spatula was the sort of thing I’d remember in the midst of using it, then put off until “later.” Last week when another little piece broke off, I realized I couldn’t ignore the situation any longer. I stopped cooking, pulled out my phone, and ordered TWO new spatulas on the spot. Why two? Let me explain…
Recipe: Sweet Morning Potato with Yogurt, Maple Syrup & Nuts — Recipes from The Kitchn
I recently came across a really old recipe post that I wrote about having a sweet potato for breakfast, and I noticed the date: May, 2006, which put me at about four and a half months pregnant. My mother was in town to help me on a project, and one day, she made me breakfast out of a leftover sweet potato with yogurt.
Given my circumstances at the time — pregnant, famished, and overworked — I thought I should revisit this concoction to see if it was still as good as I remember in that unique and compromised state. Taste bud memories don’t lie.
How To Make Your Own Hot Cocoa Mix — Cooking Lessons from The Kitchn
I secretly love those little packets of hot cocoa mix — but I recently decided to quit buying them and start making my own. The nice thing about making your own hot cocoa mix is that you have free control over what goes into it (and what stays out of it). Like yours super chocolatey? No problem. Want to take down the sugar and add a bit of cayenne and cinnamon? Do it.
Today, I’m sharing my recipe for basic hot cocoa mix, plus a few suggestions for mix-ins that I’ve been loving lately.
kale and quinoa salad with ricotta salata
It’s not my best quality, but I have a hard time talking about kale or quinoa with a straight face. When an ingredient is everywhere, when it is treated as if it were the answer to all food questions — what might feed us dinner/a kid be tricked into eating in muffins/be juiced for longevity/and possibly even save the earth — I can’t help but want to rebel against it and both of these ingredients, these darlings of the farm-to-table circuit with their ubiquity on nearly every restaurant menu in lower Manhattan and upper Brooklyn, make easy targets. I know, I know, I should grow up and stuff.
Fortunately, I took what should be clear from the preceding paragraph was probably an overdue mini-vacation this past weekend, someplace warm and sunny, someplace that involved flip-flops. Do you mind if we take a brief but gratuitous mid-article daydream break?
