If you really want to cause a stir at the family table this Thanksgiving, don’t bother with gun control, reproductive rights, kneeling during the national anthem or her emails. Just say you don’t like turkey. For the last 90 years or so, we have been living in an era of poultry correctness. According to the…
Jim Lahey, the chef and owner of Sullivan Street Bakery, spent several months perfecting his new brownie. It’s moist and seriously intense — more caky than fudgy. He said the treat is inspired by recipe from his “brownie muse,” Faith Heller Willinger, a food writer who lives in Florence, Italy. Because Mr. Lahey makes the…
The minute there’s a nip in the air, the broths, and particularly bone broths these days, emerge. Here’s a new one that I would not hesitate to shamelessly call my own.
