If you are feeling amorous this Valentine’s Day, consider an easy-to-prepare, romantic dinner for your lover, prepared at home for under $100. These are the recipes that I wrote for the Daily Connection and the cooking segment I shot will air on NBC in Washington D.C. at 3pm on Friday. Not in DC? That’s okay!

From today’s winter market, a colorful blend of what’s in season. In January. In the northeast. This is crisp, clean and delicious. I might make the stir fry and put between a poached egg and an English muffin and call it brunch!

Here is a step-by-step recipe for Buffalo-style hot wings. The only only photo missing is for step 1. Step 1: Close all bedroom doors. If you [...] 3 comments to Hot Wings at Home

But greens… There is a window between fibrous and grey mush that you have to hit just right to make them sing. In a nutshell, greens cook really quick, so get everybody [...] 2 comments to Roasted Filet of Beef, Braised Greens and Roasted Sweet Potato Cubes
The farmers markets are flush with apples these days and I just finished canning up some applesauce for gift-giving and the cold winter nights ahead. Here are some pictures and step-by-step instructions to put your own food by: Step 1: Make applesauce according to your, or your grandmother’s or Mark Bittman’s recipe.

The farmer’s market cooking demos are winding down, as is the harvest season. Still there are piles of apples in boxes at most every table that are pristine and beautiful, waiting for someone talented to come make them into the perfect pie. Underneath those tables, or rolling around on my countertop if I got a [...] 3 comments to Buttermilk Apple Fritters
