Rhubarb-Cheese Danishes

Rhubarb, my favorite of spring produce, with sweetened cream cheese makes the perfect Danish to start your day with.

Fig & Pistachio Galette

When fresh figs are in season—perfectly ripe, plump with sweet nectar, and intoxicatingly perfumed—the best way to treat them is the simplest. This galette is nothing more than figs, pistachios, a buttery crust, and a sprinkling of vanilla sugar; simple, but it’ll leave you reeling.

The Best Damn Spaghetti & Meatballs… Period!

The ultimate meatballs, made from both beef and pork and flavored with onion, garlic, chilies, oregano, and fennel seed, are simmered in the perfect San Marzano tomato sauce before being tossed with spaghetti for the ultimate in Italian comfort food—Piatto ricco, mi ci ficco!

Ginger-Cardamom Asian Pear Hand Pies

These little pies have a warming, aromatic spice from ground ginger and cardamom, and the snappy sweetness of Asian pears for a twist on a classic comfort food.
