Toledo and the tourists
A friend from Toledo was lamenting the poor quality of his city's culinary offerings. I don't think that's surprising. The influx of tourists who throng Toledo's streets daily, almost all of them day trips from Madrid, has a lot to do with this problem. This overcrowding fosters cheap, low-quality dining. Large chains and their franchises acquire the best premises in the city center and prioritize

Black cake is a cherished holiday tradition across the Caribbean, but every family makes it differently. I start by soaking and blending the fruit for maximum flavor, then, when the cake is baked, brushing it with rum and sherry makes it truly festive. Seeing my daughters get involved in preparing the fruit has become a new tradition. Whether you make a big batch or a simplified version, this cake

Baking a healthy and nourishing loaf of sourdough bread with your sourdough starter is gratifying, to be sure, but what if you’re not home all day to check in on the long-fermented dough? I mean, some of us do have to work, right? This simple weekday sourdough bread recipe and schedule are uncomplicated for mixing and baking a loaf of bread during the busy workweek.
The Kitchen · United StatesSourdough Bread with All-Purpose Flour
Flour at the market is hard to come by these days, but even if it is at the market, this recipe comes together so quickly and with such little effort it’s hard to imagine not wanting to throw this together every day during the week (since we’re home anyway, right?). I’ve received many emails and comments from readers asking for a straightforward recipe using 100% all-purpose flour since that’s wha
The Kitchen · United StatesSunflower and Sesame Sourdough Bread
Every once in a while, a bread comes along that surprises you with its wholesomeness. Add in a little more whole grains, a few handfuls of nutritious seeds, a little sweetness from natural honey, and with sufficient natural fermentation, the result is a loaf that tastes as good as it is healthy. Nutty sunflower seeds—something I’ve surprisingly often overlooked in my baking—and my often-used and n
The Kitchen · United StatesSourdough Shokupan (Japanese Milk Bread)
I typically associate fluffy, packaged white bread with something that has a complete lack of flavor and texture, but this sourdough shokupan is anything but. The lengthy natural fermentation process imbues the loaf with subtle sour notes—that are tempered just enough by a sweet levain—resulting in a nice balance of depth and complexity. The gentle aroma of butter is warm and pervasive, bringing a

Sourdough Starter Discard Cake: Ciambella
The alluring aromas of sweetness and lemon drew me to the empty kitchen. The oven was cooling and to the side rested a whisk and two mixing bowls, their rims painted with golden batter. Instinctively, I ran my finger across the counter the way a mother might inspect the cleanliness of a bedroom. Looking down, my finger was covered with white powder, and looking even closer, I noticed the counter h

Imagine for a moment you have a Swedish grandmother—a Mormor, as some are called. In the kitchen, Mormor always has something wonderful to serve—fragrant little meatballs bubbling in a pot on the stove, lingonberry jam preserved in glass jars, and small buttery cakes for snacking.

From their kitchens, gardens, and farms, they keep the pulse of the rural world alive, preserving invaluable cultural traits for all of society. They are acutely aware of their weaknesses—communications, seasonality, labor shortages—but even more so of their strengths, especially their ability to offer a quality of life that city dwellers are rapidly losing. This week, some fifty figures from the

What should have been a prime location with spillover from McCarren Park has instead been a challenge for the restaurants that have tried over the years. But this time might be the charm, with The Snail, a new bistro that opened in November at 544 Manhattan Avenue in Greenpoint.
