You Can Afford Fresh Flowers

In honor of Kitchen Month, I have been thinking about the kitchen table as a nourishing altar to our meals and remembering a comment posted last week by someone who felt they could not afford to kee...

Nourishment for the Table

When I say nourishment I mean it in a very broad sense. It's physical health, it's the rewarding process of cooking, it's breaking bread with friends and family, it's lingering for longer than necess...

Nourishment: Sustainable Seafood

Newsflash: the sea is not an endless source of food. Sure, most of us know that for some reason we're not supposed to eat Chilean Sea Bass, and that if we're pregnant there are certain fish we shou...

Nourishment: Constant Bliss

Monday, Valentine's Day, I thought my husband was going to work late so I made no unusually special plans for the occasion. I thought I'd make a little beet and ginger soup and some brown rice (somet...

Nourishment: Chimichurri

As a cook and a poet, I cannot emphasize enough something called Chimichurri. Before telling you what it is, just listen to the word. Chimichurri. It dances in your mouth. I bet you've said it i...

Nourishment: Soup Club

My friend Brenda, the one who brought us that excellent pancake recipe, recently asked me for some good soup recipes to make. We'd both been down for the count with the flu for days and she was excit...

Nourishment Makes Your Smarter

In Tuesday's New York Times, there was an article that appeared to be about Beagles titled It Can Be Done: Scientists Teach Old Dogs New Tricks. My friend Jasie sent it to me, I assumed, because sh...

Nourishment: Blue Hill at Stone Barns

On Sunday night, around a ten-top with several new friends, and several old, I finally had dinner at Blue Hill at Stone Barns. It had been a long time coming. I was five days into a flu that still...

Nourishment: Holiday Wrap-Up

Despite the fact that this was the year I attended culinary school and began to really immerse myself in all things food including a new career, this holiday season I barely lifted a finger in a kitch...

Nourishment: Winter Grilling

It all started, the weekend before last, with a big jar of dried porcini mushrooms crying out for attention in our kitchen cabinet. Not that they go bad quickly, but we had a big jar of them and havi...

Nourishment: Nourishing Gift Guide

On the heels of the Apartment Therapy Un-Gift Guide posted yesterday, here is a Nourishment guide to gift giving this season. Our theme with food-related gifts is to either give gifts that can be use...

Nourishment: Preaching and Looking for the Converted

After writing my own op-ed piece on Thanksgiving last week, I read Dan Barber's piece in the New York Times. I had to chuckle at myself - it seems Barber and I were thinking similar things, but in hi...

Nourishment: Thanks-giving

Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays because it is centered around food and spirit, and the way the two are connected. To take food that was of the earth, and place it into our bodies is, afte...

Nourishment: Arm Yourself!

A lot of people have asked me what they really need in their kitchen in order to cook. Some are moving into a new apartment, and some are moving into a new place in their life where they simply want t...

Nourishment: Teatime

What happened last night? Did winter arrive? For the last several weeks, I've been getting up in the morning and checking the little thermometer in our window and it's been 50°, almost every day. Th...

Nourishment: All Around the Table

As I navigated my way around the City-As-School polling place this morning, trying to find my district line amongst all the other West Villagers, I experienced a moment of pride in my country. As c...

Nourishment: An Easy Way To Eat at Home - Start Small

The more I talk to people in the city, the more I realize that people really don't eat at home. Many want to, but the task to setting up a kitchen, stocking it, let alone learning how to cook, is rat...

Nourishment: Get Rid of the Dead Food and Cook Something Lively

Last week we talked about eliminating food packaging in the kitchen by storing grains, cereals and other dry goods in jars. If you actually scoured your kitchen for these items and have them now st...

Nourishment: Jars Make the Small Kitchen

EXTRA! EXTRA! This is a new regular post from skgr. My kitchen is implausibly small, so every bit of extra space and beauty helps. I begrudge having to fit packages of food designed for suburban...
