This Olive Honeydew Winter Summer Salad is one of those amazing recipes that is fitting in both of the odd extremes of winter and summer. While a summer melon makes it burst with the gorgeous flavor only possible in summer fruit, the fennel, olives, and orange which are all readily available winter ingredients make this […]

This Monkfish Stew with Potatoes and Dill has been one of my favorite weeknight dinners this Winter. But all Winter long, I’ve been waiting to post it because I think it’s perfect as we (finally) transition from Winter into Spring. It’s light, bright and healthy, as well as easy, which is the winning combination, no? […]

Specialty cheese shops commonly sell an amazing sweet Lemon Ricotta I’ve riffed on with this Baked Lime Ricotta with Blackberries. The original Lemon Ricotta is fun to put on a cheese board, especially a dessert cheese board, because it’s such a great bridge between traditional dessert and cheese for dessert. If it’s easy to buy […]

I’m sure you have no need for this Citrus Flowers with Spicy Pistachio Brittle recipe. Afterall, I’m fairly certain I’m the only person on the planet who wants some sort of dessert every single night whether they went to the gym or not. Right? Cue eye roll. Because I don’t always do as I’m supposed […]

When you’re making a very special dinner to serve to friends, such as my Jerusalem Cookbook Dinner Party, sometimes you really just need at least one dish that’s simple, easy, and crowd pleasing, and my Mint Butter Lamb Chops are all those things and more. Since lamb chops are on the expensive side of things, […]

This Roasted Cauliflower Hazelnut Celery Salad via Jerusalem is one of my very favorite recipes, from one of my very favorite cookbooks from recent years. I have made, or tasted many of the recipes from this book, as the book has been very popular amongst my cooking and entertaining friends, but there’s something about this […]

Ok, you got me, this Baba Ganoush via Jerusalem isn’t strictly Baba Ganoush. The flavor profile is really different with the lack of tomatoes and onions in the eggplant base. That said, the title that Jerusalem chooses (Charred Eggplant Salad with…), just distracts me from the fact that this is, at least to me, a […]

My French Red White & Blue Potato Salad is a great change of pace after all of the mayo-based salads that have been out and about at recent parties. I realize that I’ve just missed the 4th of July, which would have been a timely publication date for a salad with Red, White and Blue in […]

These Roasted Rainbow Carrots make up a dish that is simple stupid perfect, and sometimes, that’s exactly what ends up stealing the show. The gorgeous colors make them stand out as special and unique, the fresh herbs add, but don’t mask the delicate sweetness of the carrots, and the salt and oil make them robust […]

Well, January is turning out to be a month of unfinished business for Dirty Laundry Kitchen. I still owe the rest of the Hot! Tamale Dinner Party that I did for Christmas this year. And these Lemony Leek Meatballs are the last dish from my New Year’s Eve Party. The good news is that even though […]

Bruschetta is a great make ahead appetizer and this Fava Bean and Orange Bruschetta is both gorgeous and unexpected. With frozen vegetables and plentiful citrus fruits, it’s festive and seasonal. Fava Bean and Orange Bruschetta is also fairly healthy, which is a great way to ring in the New Year. 1 cup fava beans, shelled and […]

Summer may be winding down, but Grilled Radicchio Pickled Nectarine Salad is a great transition meal. Aside from offering another vehicle for eating fresh mozzarella and burrata (though I could eat Peach Caprése Salad everyday), it’s a good excuse to keep grilling, even as the days start getting noticeably shorter. The quick-pickled nectarines work even […]
