Simple Cooking

It truly doesn’t get any easier than this one-pot sensation.

During Easter time in Ireland, I love to whip up this easy dish for my family. My mom always has three other types of meat in the oven, usually a duck, a goose, and a turkey. Sometimes beef, too. So trying to find the space to make this meat ends up in an annual argument. Every. Single. Time. Just a snippet of Easter with the O’Keeffes.

Unlock the comforting properties of fresh turmeric by infusing it into steaming coconut milk scented with the warm, spicy notes of cinnamon, ginger, and black pepper.

A creamy yogurt glaze ups the tang factor of this loaf cake—and makes it totally suitable to serve for breakfast. 😉

If there is a lot of liquid in the pan when the spinach is done, drain it before adding the beans.

Daikon is the winter vegetable you should be eating—peppery, crunchy, crisp.

The little sprinkle of buckwheat delivers a much-needed crunch factor. If you don’t have any, add some chopped toasted almonds or homemade breadcrumbs.

This fun dessert magically turns store-bought ice cream into bread with a little help from self-rising flour. The butter pecan ice cream does double duty, adding caramelly sweetness and nutty crunch.

This easy steak dinner is made with only three ingredients, but is full of rich, satisfying flavor.

A quick marinade infuses the salmon with sweet, herbaceous flavor and transforms it into a stunner of an entrée.

Here, we flavor a crispy meringue cookie with toasted hazelnuts. For richer flavor, fold in some chopped chocolate.

When sitting down to dine in Argentina, a small jar or vessel of oily, deep-green chimichurri is often the first thing to greet you at your table. A traditional condiment made of parsley and other herbs, sometimes speckled with dried red peppers, green onions, or garlic, chimichurri is the iconic sauce of the parrilla culture, delivering a welcome bolt of bright, sharp, herbaceous saltiness and acidity that takes fire-cooked foods to new heights.

Macaroons that taste like creamsicles? What could be bad?!

This delicious breakfast dish comes together fast, thanks to prepared salsa.

Here, dried currants, walnuts, and matzo meal combine to make a rich, savory stuffing for the Passover roast chicken.

Stuffing halibut fillets with zesty pesto is faster than marinating, but just as flavorful.

A few days a year, Boccione "Il Forno del Ghetto," the generations-old kosher bakery on Via Portico d'Ottavia, sells pizzarelle. The bakers make them only during Passover, and due to restrictions on working, the baker is closed during most of the holiday. If you time it right, this highly seasonal specialty can be yours. Otherwise, drop by Boccione for their year-round non-Passover classics like thick ricotta cakes and Biscotti con Mandorle e Cannella. And don't be turned off by the slightly cha.…

Welcome spring with this refreshing spritz. Because as the temperature rises, our cocktails get lighter.
