There are several dishes of Ina’s that I’ve been staring down for two years now, not looking forward to making them at all – Pear & Parsnip Gratin was one of them. I’m just not a huge fan of parsnips. I don’t mind when it […]

389. Sagaponack Corn Pudding
My friend recently asked if I had any interest in visiting Jackson Pollock’s House/Studio on Long Island. It’s something I’ve always wanted to see, but it wasn’t until she mentioned that it’s in East Hampton that I REALLY wanted to go! I’ve been to the […]

If you’ve been following along on Instagram, you know I’ve been addicted to tomatoes in all forms this summer — I just can’t get enough! My go-to snack has been toasted country bread, a smear of good mayonnaise*, thick slices of tomato and a sprinkling […]
