The Magidow family recipe box
This recipe comes from my friend Marisa, who shares a love of pickled things. It is very simple and does double-duty as hearty, but also somehow refreshing due to the tangy kraut. In my recipe I used some winter savory and chervil from my garden, which I have included on the blog just to annoy […]
This is a simple and hearty meal; basically a stovetop version of mac’n’cheese, but with a northern Italian style. Keep this one in mind for summer when you have zucchini to use up! 1 lb penne rigateGenerous salt for pasta water3 small zucchini, sliced into thin strips (about 3 c.)1 clove garlic,*5 oz sharp provolone, […]
It am sure it is no coincidence that the last blog post is about the same age as Zayn and Violet! Tonight I find myself with a lull in the toddler fray to post this lovely dish we had in San Sebastian, Spain. This recipe is adapted from The Basque Table. The original recipe calls for Biscayne […]
This is one of our summer favorites. It’s derived from a recipe by Isa Moskowitz, I think from the book “Isa Does It.” She’s a vegan, and so we’ve made this carniverous, removed some hippy stuff (agave nectar, really?), changed some ingredients (originally calls for radishes, which I guess is a way to use radishes.)

I wanted to make something that was very Autumnal and so I started looking up pork and apple recipes. Almost all of them called for cinnamon and sounded foul, so I came up with this which I wanted to be more balanced. It turned out better than expected so I figured I’d write it up. […]
Couscous in Morocco is traditionally eaten on Fridays during lunch time, following the Friday mid-day prayers, similar to the idea of a Sunday roast after church. It’s usually a family affair, and is eaten off of a giant central platter. If you’re good, you can eat it with your hands, forming a ball of veggies, […]
Grilled beef, mint, Thai spices…what’s not to like?
Holy moley it’s been a long time since I’ve posted! It’s not that I haven’t been cooking, but that my recipes have been getting rather arcane and many not worth recording for posterity. I’ve posted so many recipes at this point, I really have to reach to come up with something I haven’t done before. […]
