There’s been a surprising development in the V family kitchen. My daughter E has actually been asking for coleslaw, a food she used to have to be bribed to eat. This phenomenon began after I stopped buying bagged coleslaw and starting using fresh heads of cabbage. I could say that E likes [...]
More than 20 years ago, I lived in an odd little shared house in Oakland, and one of the other renters was a guy named John, from one of the Caribbean islands. Sad to say, I can’t recall which island (possibly Barbados?), but I do remember that he moonlighted in a steel drum band, and [...]
It’s always nice when a recipe you like seems to “take off” with other bloggers. This has been true recently of my sweet potato and chickpea burgers, which Matt and Katie have made recently, as well as a bunch of other bloggers and readers who have emailed me or left comments on the original post.

My Purple Pepper Eater Breakfast Sandwich is the perfect hazy morning, (does-the-weather-actually-say-sixty-five-degrees-her-in-NYC?) morning bite.
