Cold February nights call for slowly simmered stews and braises; heady, savory aromas; and bowls of succulent, fall-off-the-bone meats. But what if you’re pressed for time? I’d prescribe Yasmin Fahr’s spicy, speedy recipe for skillet ginger chicken with apricots. The genius thing here is that although the meal comes together in less than an hour,…
Good morning. Saltimbocca — the name translates from the Italian as “jump in the mouth” — is a dish traditionally made with veal cutlets wrapped with prosciutto and sage, quickly cooked in butter and oil, and occasionally topped with cheese for a run beneath the broiler.

The texts start rolling in around the last week of January. “I hope the girls are getting their prescribed four Sumos a day.” “Two Sumos down before 1 p.m.” “And now I’m eating a Sumo!!!” My friends and I approach peak Sumo orange season with thunderous enthusiasm, and for good reason: The arrival of the…
