Simone Johnson

Simone Johnson’s bodega cat drawings belong on every “reasons to love New York” list.

A power nap in a hammock

I thought a bee was buzzing above me but it turns out it was a baby hummingbird! I feel recharged!

poulet basquaise

An incredibly simple dish that requires a love of slicing (4 whole bell peppers and 1 onion), a little white wine and some good canned tomatoes. Best served with rice.

carrotes râpées

I hadn’t previously thought about carrot salad as a classic French dish until my friend Sheela recently requested it as part of the menu for a dinner at my house by calling it, well, a classic French carrot salad. Carrots + Dijon + lemon juice and a sprinkle of herbs “for color” - voila!
