I’ll be honest. I’m still getting used to the title of Mother. I think I went so long believing that I wouldn’t ever be a mother–not just for physiological reasons, but by cho...
I’m a big fan of cooking cauliflower until it’s almost creamy … especially in pastas like this one. It becomes part of the sauce, adding heft and health to just a handful of pasta.1...

I’m discovering that a lot of people have a stash of beat up nonstick pans in their cupboards that they use all … the … time, and maybe one shiny, pristine stainless steel pan they&...
These sweet potatoes have a spicy foil to their sweetness. Look for the dark-skinned sweet potatoes with bright orange flesh (also, erroneously, called garnet yams). 2 pounds sweet potatoes, pee...
Letting the bok choy get nice and browned in some places–what the Chinese call “the breath of the wok”–adds a smoky savoriness to the dish. 2 cloves garlic, minced ½ teas...
Mu shu is one of my favorite Chinese restaurant dishes, so I was thrilled when I discovered how easy it is to make at home. Having crepes and cooked shrimp on-hand make it truly fast food.2 tablespoo...

This quick ragu exemplifies my “double up-halvsies” trick. It’s got loads of onion and fennel, just a bit of pork for flavor, and half the pasta you’re used to. Yet it’s so hearty you’ll never miss t...
The more I get to know Natalie Coughlin, the more I detect a kindred spirit (although she can swim a lot better than I can). As an Olympic medalist, Natalie is training almost constantly, yet she dra...

Acorn squash skins are quite leathery and the cooked flesh will pop out of it as you cut the wedges. Use a butter-knife to help separate the skin and flesh if needed.1 cup wheat berries (soaked overn...
OK, let’s have it … how many of you have stuck to your New Year’s resolutions so far this year? If you’re grimacing right now, you’re not alone. Statistics show that somewhere between 78 and 88 perce...
Hara hachi bu is a Japanese term that roughly translates to “eat until you’re 80 percent full.” It sounds simple, I know, but many deeply profound concepts wear a simple shell. This is one of them.Ha...
Think of this recipe as a template for whatever leftovers you have in your fridge … sauteed greens, squash or root veggies, beans, pork or chicken. They all adapt beautifully to this dish. Enjo...
I’ve always considered dessert the simplest part of the holiday feast. That’s because you can get it all done–or at least, mostly done–a couple of days before the big day so you have plen...
