Recipes

Cooking from what's around me, mostly.

I live in the Hudson Valley, which means a lot of what shows up on this site is shaped by farm stands, orchards, and the rhythm of the seasons, but you don't need to live here to cook from it. These are the recipes I actually make: weeknight things that aren't fussy, preserves and jams when fruit's in season, the occasional project bake, and a few that have been on rotation for years because they just work.

Everything here has been tested in a real kitchen by a real person with a real camera situation, which is to say: the photos took longer than the recipe. I include nutrition info, cook times, and the kind of notes I'd want: what to swap, what to skip, and what the recipe actually tastes like.
