Recipe notes

Île Flottante

Originally called omelette à la neige (snow omelet) in reference to the fluffy snow-like appearance of the meringue, île flottante (floating island) has a lengthy history that dates back to the 17th century.

Miso-Peanut Hibachi Chicken

The magic of this hibachi chicken recipe comes from a combination of miso and peanut butter and how it beautifully caramelizes when it hits the grill.

Sofrito Bolognese

An ex-boyfriend’s mom—who emigrated from Colombia—made the best meat sauce—she would fry sofrito for the base and simply add cooked ground beef, sazón, and jarred tomato sauce. My version is a bit more bougie—it calls for caramelized tomato paste and white wine—but the result is just as good.

Mint Julep

A strip of lemon zest balances this refreshing spring classic.

Creamy Fondue Beans

All the cozy vibes of the classic gooey-cheesy dish, made into a 20-minute meal.

Dirty Martini Spritz

Attention, martini drinkers and spritz drinkers: Please for a single line.

Fufu

Fufu is a dish that has been passed down through many generations and is seen as a symbol of Ghanaian identity and heritage. Making fufu traditionally is a very laborious task; this recipe mimics some of that hard work but with a few home-cook hacks that make for a far easier time.

Pickle Coleslaw

Creamy, vinegary, and with lots of fresh dill.
