grapefruit ginger curd

I'm on a curd bender, so I wanted to make sure there was PLENTY of curd on the site. This is a recipe that ran in a column I wrote for a local website, and I thought it should live here, too. It went up on that site exactly a year ago and this year I've got three green lemons again. So I guess ...

If you've been around here for a while, you may be familiar with the white whale that Christmas morning cinnamon buns have been for me. The texture, the timing, the ease! I think I've imagined that if I could just find it, then I'd be able to stop chasing after the holiday. Small thing, I know, but ...

My editor once told me that she has to bake immediately upon returning from a trip. It doesn't matter how much laundry and unpacking I'm supposed to be doing, she told me as she fed me a buttermilk cake at one of our meetings. I need the kitchen to know that I'm back. We had quite a time these ...

I'm having a very particular conversation with my garden this year. If I had known who I would be 10 years after moving into my house, if I had known what I would love and what I would want, I might have listened to friends and experts and every article in Mother Earth News and I would have done ...

Trying to decide what I'm going to make for Christmas morning every year is a lot like trying to decide how I'm going to cook my turkey. In both cases, I have no tradition, no surety about the way it has to be. On the night before Thanksgiving, I'm still holding a box of salt in my hand, trying to ...

I never get sick of talking about yogurt. My (very kind and brilliant) agent gets on my case about this, so much so that I can hear his voice in my head as soon as I launch into my story about the magic of home culturing with anyone who wants to know how I got into all this crazy homemade stuff. ...

Again. I start writing on an ordinary day. I put it down with the hope of finishing later, and then in that time in between, the New York Times starts yelling at me from my phone. I check the news, I check Twitter (which on the whole I don't love, but it's always where I go when I try to figure ...

If you were worried that there wouldn't be anything to get up and knead and roll and shape in your quiet-morning-everyone-is-sleeping-or-watching-cartoons kitchen, no need. Here you go. We've got scones! Way back when the sun shone and we wore T-shirts (Summer, Fall? I can't remember--all I see ...

Have I told you the story about how when I sent my book proposal for The Homemade Pantry to my agent, I also sent granola? Scour the internet (as we tend to do when looking for direction on big, life-changing things that have no guidebook), and the rules on how to send a book proposal are very ...

Last Friday, I woke up and made maple scones. The girls were home because it was parent conference day, and they rolled out of bed before I did and tucked themselves onto the couch with the third Harry Potter movie. And so, with the dramatic tones of the HP theme as my background (warring, of ...
