Q: I buy a fantastic lemon blueberry granola from a store nearby, but I’ve been making my own granola lately and want to recreate it. This granola is SOOOO lemony, with the perfect balance of sweet and tart. I’ve tried some other recipes online but you can hardly taste the lemon! Any ideas?

Most craft beers are made with a blend of hops — each one carefully chosen to add its particular flavor and aroma to the brew. But not this time. No, sir. As one of Danish brewer Mikkeller’s Single Hop Series, this IPA was brewed start to finish using only amarillo hops. Don’t know what those taste like? You will now.

Theodore and Matthew’s design style is a mix of “laid back Hamptons and California ease” — which is very much on display in their Hollywood Hills cottage. The whole home is inviting and cozy, but the kitchen is particularly enticing if you’re a fan of the open shelving look, because this couple knows how to do it right!

One of the aspects of my personality that I should probably be less proud to admit to is that I can be a tad bit lazy. I often consider doing many things when I could be doing fewer things a bother. Much praise may be given these days to the pursuit of busyness, and days jam-packed with frenetically fun activities, but I’m more protective of time that could be spent daydreaming/staring slack-jawed into space and letting disparate thoughts knit together in my head.
So, last summer when an editor reached out to me about spending a day with a famous cookbook author as part of a larger magazine story, I had no interest. I didn’t know who this mystery person was but it certainly didn’t seem worth all the work that would be entailed in an over 12-hour day. In actuality, that “work” was later revealed to be horrendous things like “having hair and makeup done,” “gossiping with a famous person’s hairdresser,” “drinking pink champagne,” “eating homemade cookies for dinner,” and “meeting awesome people,” but at the time, I didn’t know this, and I turned it down. Then I learned that this “cookbook author” was none other than one of best-selling cookbook authors in American history and easily one of the three patron saints of Smitten Kitchen (other two: Julia Child and any one of our grandmothers) and I was all “SHUT UP” and punched my husband, who sometimes likes to sit next to me but probably not that day, in the arm.

“Any sweet pepper will work in this side dish, but I love the delicate spiciness of the long, pointy gypsy pepper. I use organic beans, and serve alongside a veggie burger.”

What We Noticed: What does the future hold for our kitchens? I, for one, hope the future includes a better refrigerator. Forget the jetpack; I want a fridge that doesn’t take up an entire wall of my kitchen, freezes the lettuce, and costs an arm and leg too. When I talked with Thomas Johansson of Electrolux about the future of the kitchen last fall, the fridge was what he promptly focused on. And here’s one way that new fridge could work out: Fridge drawers.
