    Frittatas are round, open-faced omelets that are pretty to look at and delicious to eat.

I usually ask my guests if there is anything they can’t eat so I know what I can put into the eggy pancake.

You might benefit from using a hunger scale.

        As a French trained chef, Indian cooking had been out of my comfort zone. Recently, my friend Laurie Burrows Grad sent me her favorite quick chicken curry recipe for me to try. First, I wanted to make the curry powder from scratch, as my esteemed colleague, the late Raghavan Iyer, recommended in his latest book,“ On the Curry Trail.” If you are interested in curry and how it is...

        I am always here for a spinach-artichoke moment. Whether it’s a riff on the classic party dip in the form of pasta, baked chicken or grilled cheese, I’ll happily oblige. Knowing this, then, you won’t be surprised to learn I have a spinach-artichoke-dip-inspired salad in my newest cookbook, “Salad Seasons.”
