Stop Buying Shitty Cookbooks

I wrote this piece almost two years ago and it is as relevant as ever! Help support a diverse cookbook ecosystem. Publishers make decisions off of sales so use your money to influence the world of cookbook publishing!

Please Cook More Ukrainian Recipes like My Sour Cherry Varenyky

I developed this Cherry Varenyky (dumplings) recipe for serious eats and it works with pretty much any summer fruit. Try fruit dumplings this summer!

Same Day Sourdough Bread

Most sourdough recipes you see online or even in print focus on the Tartine style of sourdough baking which is roughly a 24 hour process from stop to finish with an overnight fridge rest. I personally absolutely love the more traditional (sin refrigeration) process of making sourdough which uses a higher percentage of starter or preferment (inoculation). So if want to mix a loaf of sourdough bread in the morning and eat some later that day save and try my same day sourdough. I use to run a small but popular cottage bakery in Austin, Texas.

Celebrating Big Noses on Women

As a Greek woman, I don’t think I need to say much more. I think my mom use to make me get blond highlights in my hair to soften my features. Brunette until the end.
