Hasty Woman’s Bourguignon
This wonderful beef stew was the product of me having only minutes (before running out the door teach a piano lesson) to get a stew going that my husband would actually like. His memories of stew are in the Dinty Moore category. But I promised him that I would make it yummy, and I did. The [...]

Simple Herb-Roasted Chicken Thighs

What: Turkey Soup with Kale Where: The Art of Simple Food Who: Alice Waters This wholly comforting soup fed the two of us for an entire week of lunches and dinners. It uses a leftover roasted turkey carcass, but could use 1 large or 2 small chicken carcasses just as well. The ingredients are classic and wonderfully [...]

What: Sweet Corn Soup Where: The Art of Simple Food Who: Alice Waters I love this soup. Corn, onion, salt, and water...that's it.
