This is a curious, blended fish soup I’ve been making, in various forms, for many years. I like blended soups, which can seem creamy even without cream – although this one does have a little cream added at the end. They’re just, well, more refined than a typical country soup. And sometimes I feel the need for a touch of elegance, even on a busy midweek night. One of the things that makes this soup so lovely?...

That day. What Is a Reuben Sandwich? “What is a Reuben sandwich?” you might ask. Corned beef, dark rye bread, Swiss cheese, sauerkraut, with Russian dressing - grilled.

I knew instantly what made it so good: the cabbage was cooked low and slow in plenty of pork fat, and the pork served alongside was incredibly juicy. It was a memorable meal, and that wasn’t just the German beer talking. The first thing I did when I returned home was to buy a head of green cabbage and some center-cut pork chops. I decided to brown the pork and then cook the cabbage in the rendered pork fat and juices....

Growing THE BEST Tomatoes Growing up, we had the best home-grown tomatoes every summer. I assumed that all home-grown tomatoes were as good as ours… until I realized they weren’t. Ours really were THE BEST. Our tomatoes were always bigger, juicier, and more flavorful than everyone else’s… and I’m not just saying that. When we were younger we never realized the effort it takes to getting perfect tomatoes and that there is actually a “recipe” for growing tomatoes… and even a SECRET INGREDIENT (I will get to that shortly)....

This summer, I lived out my own moose-and-muffin story: If you give Nancy a bunch of fruit, she’ll turn it into jam. And not just one batch of jam; she’ll make jam week after week all summer long. Each day started with five to six pounds of fruit I bought from local Virginia farmers and foragers—strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, peaches, wineberries, and grapes. Using whatever else I had around in the kitchen, I created jam flavors like strawberry and lemon, peach and chilis, salted blackberry basil, and my favorite, salted concord grape jam....

Much of this exciting, vibrant food is on tremendous display in Adeena Sussman’s cookbook Sababa: Fresh, Sunny Flavors from My Israeli Kitchen. If you want to cook more Israeli food at home, your go-to tools — a sharp knife, cutting board, a variety of pots and pans — will work most of the time....
While they always include hot or mild peppers, tomatoes, and something meaty like ham or sausage, it was hard to pin down the mildly spicy sauce I prefer. I ultimately decided I liked the mellow heat from roasted chiles along with a little ham simmered in a tomato-garlic sauce with chicken thighs. I like Anaheim, poblanos, or Fresno peppers for this recipe – fairly mild, as far as peppers go....
