    Food plays a supporting role in love stories (opens the original)

    There once was a boy who left a bagel on my porch. No dramatics. Just a perfectly baked, slightly glossy, yeasted sphere dropped before the sun peeked above the earth’s edge and a small note that said, “check your porch” that arrived simultaneously. Would you believe me if I said this was the most romantic thing that’s ever happened to me? Would you think my exposure to romance tragically limited? Not rose petals or jewelry. Serenades or candlelight. Chocolate or jewelry. I’m not reall

    Sure, the kitchen tools make cooking easier. But can you taste the love? (opens the original)

    I’ve never been one for specialized appliances in the kitchen or really shortcuts of any kind. When I was pregnant with the twins, my older kids were 6 and 7, I was told by strangers and friends alike that it wouldn’t be long until I started buying apple sauce in squeeze packets and yogurt in tubes. Up until that point I was a loyalist to scratch-made everything. I even made our crackers and bread on my days off. The kids call it an ingredient household and say that the only treat was a hand

    My kids think the world was entirely different when I was growing up. They look at me with wonder in their eyes and ask, “what was it like?” I don’t know what they expect. Perhaps an amalgamation of scenes they’ve seen in movies — not knowing what time period they were witnessing. Was it like “The Goonies?” A group of friends embarking on adventure, without an adult in sight? Was it like “Adventures in Babysitting?” Metallic makeup, ruffled skirts and again, no adult in sight.

    My 17-year-old son begins every conversation with the same question, “You know what sounds so good right now?” His emphasis falls on the “so” to indicate the dire nature of his craving. Every one more important than the last. I wait, expecting the description of a culinary core memory, something so profoundly moving that years later you can still taste it. Perhaps something I’ve made him, taking hours to perfect, selecting his favorite flavors for a birthday meal. Or maybe an unforgett

    Don’t fear the poach: A peach dessert that looks fancy and isn’t difficult (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    The list of culinary terms that intimidate me has always been relatively short. I’ve never been turned off by long ingredient lists or complicated technique. In fact, I seek it out. The mastering of a new skill and the messy accidents along the way could sort of serve as the theme of my life. When others are daunted by hunting down ingredients they can’t pronounce at grocery stores that don’t carry Heinz ketchup — I love the unveiling of something new. The transition from not knowing to
