Food plays a supporting role in love stories (opens the original)
Read excerpt
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 earthâs edge and a small note that said, âcheck your porchâ that arrived simultaneously. Would you believe me if I said this was the most romantic thing thatâs ever happened to me? Would you think my exposure to romance tragically limited? Not rose petals or jewelry. Serenades or candlelight. Chocolate or jewelry. Iâm not reall
Sure, the kitchen tools make cooking easier. But can you taste the love? (opens the original)

Iâve 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 wouldnât be long until I started buying apple sauce in squeeze packets and yogurt in tubes.

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 Iâve 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)
Read excerpt
The list of culinary terms that intimidate me has always been relatively short. Iâve 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 canât pronounce at grocery stores that donât carry Heinz ketchup â I love the unveiling of something new. The transition from not knowing to
