BIG GIVEAWAY 🎉🎉 It is an honor to write a cookbook and find your way into peoples homes and their family table. It seems there’s never enough time to say thank you to all the people who make a book possible, especially to the ones who buy, share and pass it along to feed the ones they love. So, this time, I’m starting early! Along with my friends at @lecreuset + @chroniclebooks, we’re giving away this beautiful stack of my absolute favorite pots and pans (in the color of YOUR choice—they have the best colors and color names! This is called meringue 💫) to one lucky winner who pre-orders Every Day is Saturday anytime between now and launch day. (Value: nearly $1,000!!) 🎉 . To enter: 1. Pre-order the book (link in profile) 2. Save your purchase order or receipt 3. Enter at http://bit.ly/EVERYDAYSWEEPS . I know it takes effort to stop what you’re doing and pre-order a book, weeks in advance, and I’m so, so grateful for your continued love + support!! Sending you all the winning vibes🤞🏻and love back your way. #giveaway #sponsored #lecreuset #dutchoven #dutchovencooking Today someone asked me which is my favorite recipe I've developed for the New York Times. Hard call—but this one definitely makes the top five: INDIAN BUTTER TOFU. Yes, you can totally make it with chicken (marinate longer, 2 to 12 hours) but this is a easy win even if you think you hate tofu (former tofu hater right here!). Something about the lightness and texture here is just so satisfying against this super rich sauce—I eat heaping bowls of this, and I hope you do too. (If you’re new to this flavor Profile: think Tikki Masala, but better). Link in stories!✌🏻 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ . 📷@linda.xiao + styling @monicapierini + @nytcooking 🎉GRILLED CHEESE DAY! My family’s love language is grilled cheese. To make them hot and oozy at all once, I transform a whole tray of brioche rolls into a cheesy, delicious pull-apart grilled cheese bake sliders, layered with @rothcheese’s Grand Cru Alpine-style cheese. I top them with a punchy gremolata that makes grilled cheese feel fresh and new (my daughter says these taste like cheesy garlic knots!) . I grew up 30 minutes from the Wisconsin border; cheese is in my blood--so I was so excited to find out just how many varieties @rothcheese has, all sourced from family farms within 60 miles of their creameries, which speaks to my inner farmer’s heart. I’ll be mixing and matching these with Grand Cru (for my kids), Natural Smoked Gouda (for my husband) and Horseradish Havarti (for me!). Here’s how: ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Pull-Apart Grand Cru Sliders with Gremolata ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 12 brioche slider rolls ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 2 Tablespoons Dijon mustard ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 6 to 12 slices Roth Grand Cru Cheese ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 2 Tablespoons soft butter ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 1 cup fresh parsley leaves, roughly chopped ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 4 cloves garlic, finely chopped ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Zest of 1 lemon ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 2 Tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Maldon salt and fresh black pepper. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Smear the bottom half of the rolls with mustard and layer with cheese. Broil on low until melted and oozy. Top with top half of buns and brush with soft butter. Broil until just toasty and butter is melted (less than a minute). Toss together the parsley, garlic, lemon zest, olive oil, salt and pepper and sprinkle over the top. Serve warm! (#AD) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #rothcheese #grilledcheeseday Today wasn’t easy—the kind where you’re swimming upstream from the moment your feet hit the floor (I’ll spare you the details). But, just as I was whisking two grumpy kids off for an I-give-up pizza dinner, a friend wrote to tell me my book (and hers!) made the @nytimes best new spring cookbooks list! 🎉🎉🎉 My dad always taught us: you can have anything you want, but you can’t have everything you want—at least not at the same time. So tonight I’ll take grumpy kids and decently bad pizza—and my new book on the @nytcooking best list!!! So grateful and proud, and in the most incredible company!! Link in profile in case you might want to pre-order it (📷 by @gentlandhyers —from the book). ✨ . Thank you @juliamoskin @emweinstein @emofly @margaux_laskey so incredibly honored. ⚡️ #everydayissaturdaycookbook Sunday morning waffles + eggs on repeat 🍳These deep brown eyes get me every time. Ever since I got back from my trip I’ve had some serious hang time with this boy. Andràs has been working around the clock and Greta is rehearsing or performing in Matilda every day so its just been me and fruit face, eating fistfuls of berries (thank you, California) impatiently waiting for our own to pop up, grooming our fruit trees, and changing his muddy clothes three times a day. Dear @andreagentl took this photo of Màtyàs during the shoot for my book and I’m so grateful for it, and every single image. The time is flying; he’s huge and his hair is a touch less blonde, and he barely fits in this chair his Papa made him anymore—but all I see are the eyes and that little tongue, forever my baby boy. #raisingboys #scenesfromthebreakfastnook #everydayissaturdaycookbook Well, Palm Springs was AMAZING—a very hard place to leave. I ate 100 tacos but forgot to take a picture of a single one (but I did take the same 20 shots of blue skies and palm trees, on repeat 🤔🌴☀️). So many things about this trip reminded me how much I crave color—on my walls, on my pillows and definitely on my plate. So, I’m waiting out New York’s sexy brown and muddy season with all the color—carrots and radishes and avocado and fistfuls of herbs in my bowl every night, now until the summer solstice. ⚡️☀️💛. . . 📷@heflpop . . . #feastthecookbook #everydayissaturdaycookbook #altsummit2019 #f52greenspring #healthyish #eatwellbewell #avocadolove #f52grams #feedfeed #plantbasedliving #makesmewhole #bhgfood #bombesquad #amazonkitchen Well, Palm Springs was AHMAZING—a very hard place to leave. I ate about 100 tacos but forgot to take a picture of a single one, and to those wondering where the other pictures are—the answer is they are mostly the same 12 shots of blue skies and palm tree, on repeat 🌴 (still, I will share, in stories). So many things about this trip reminded me how much I crave color—on my walls, on my pillows and definitely on my plate. So, I’m waiting out New York’s sexy brown and muddy season with all the color—carrots and radishes and avocado and fistfuls of herbs in my bowl every night, now until the summer solstice. ⚡️☀️💛 This beauty is my go-to carrot soup I’ve been making since I wrote FEAST, updated with a little red lentil for heft...a super satisfier. I’ll write up the recipe for you all, because this one is guaranteed to get you through until rhubarb and strawberries and peonies line every farmers market nationwide. . . . 📷@heflpop . . . #feastthecookbook #everydayissaturdaycookbook #altsummit2019 #f52greenspring #healthyish #eatwellbewell #avocadolove #f52grams #feedfeed #plantbasedliving #makesmewhole #bhgfood #bombesquad #amazonkitchen #tastingtable BEYOND honored to be included in @bonappetitmag 16 Spring Cookbooks the BA team L-O-V-E-S, along with so many authors I adore and admire. Such an honor. This beauty has the hands and magic of so many dear people, including super talents @andreagentl + @martinhyers who brought my vision to life. Can not wait for you all to see + cook from the insides. Bravo to the many greats on this list and thank you, BA + especially @moroccochris. #everydayissaturdaycookbook I’ve landed back in the land of citrus and sunshine, feeling super grateful to be back in CA so soon (and my first time in Palm Springs—send me all the recs!). The first thing I did when I got here was stand outside staring up at the mountains and palm trees and call my sister, who lives just in the other side, soaking in the gift that is feeling a little bit closer to someone you love. She is my sunshine. She sent me these lemons and oranges off her trees many weeks ago, back when New York winter felt long and unending. She is the first person to cheer me up and cheer me on, and tonight, as I step away from my kids and my work and the hustle, I’m feeling so very grateful for the people who keep us going in life, especially her. 💛 📷 @heflpop #sunshinestateofmind #welcometocalifornia #altsummit2019 I know, Instagram doesn’t favor horizontals and I’m bound to mess up my algorithm, but I don’t care. we celebrated this precious gem of a boy yesterday all day. It was simple and messy and completely happy. This is us, on his first birthday, one of the purest, proudest moments of my life. I had made him a small but insanely laborious apricot buttercream cake, with homemade apricot lekvar we brought home from Hungary, and three dense butter layers in between. I made his little birthday hat from scratch with fabric I'd saved for years. I remember thinking that I wanted him to know the best things in life, the very best I had to offer, always. . . My time for such things has all but disappeared but the love—the love has grown and blown my heart wide open, a thousand times over. He is my dream boy. Sweet and huge hearted, wild and demanding and exactly what I always wanted. 💗 . . . #motherhood #motherhoodrising #raisingboys #magyarbaba #matyasaugustus That time @localhaven made my Turkey Italian Wedding Soup from @nytcooking and made it so ⚡️💫⭐️. (Recipe Link in my NY TIMES highlights, with all the others). Developing recipes for the @nytcooking is exciting in and of itself, of course—but I had no idea how much I would absolutely love seeing you all making my recipes at home—and how that would inspire me in ways I hadn’t yet imagined. Instagram wasn’t a thing yet when my last two books came out, so getting to experience that beautiful feedback in real time is new and so rewarding to me. So, this is just a note to say THANK YOU to all of you who have been cooking and posting my recipes the last 6 months. It’s one of the best things in my work life and I love you for it. 💛 that’s all, now off to eat chocolate cake with a birthday prince ✌🏻 . . . #nytcooking #italianweddingsoup #soupseason #foodwinewomen #feedfeed #parmesan #soupforthesoul #soupfordinner #thankyouinstagram #ceramiclove #sodomino #springequinox #thankyougoodbye ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This little chunky monkey, before he had long curls and long legs and the mouth of a sailor (a horrible word entered our house this week and I have no idea how 😱). BUT, he’s the sweetest. He tells me every single day “you’re so beautiful, Mama.” 💓😭 I mean, what more could I ask for? Every night this week he has asked me: “how many more sleeps until I turn four?” I have no idea where he learned that expression or who is feeding him his information, but man he was FOR SURE put on this earth to delight me to the core. One more sleep, baby boy. Just one. 💗 . . 📷 @amyfrancesphoto Tomorrow is the equinox, which means peaches and fresh tomatoes are soon within reach. I'm READY. This is the dish I dreamed up for the first course of our @FEED Supper, and pretty much my dream meal, any day: pickled peaches, fresh peaches, milky burrata, baby basil, tiny yellow and green tomatoes from my garden and a sorrel swoosh (who wants the recipe? The pickled peaches worked magic here✨) * * I love how @annathewolf captured all the realist bits of this night--like @chrisnlanier stoking his fire, @danamcclure styling the table, and me hustling restaurant style to get 30 beautiful plates out at once, with the help of the ever-steady @fridakristins. Seeing a hand crafting a dish is often so much more beautiful to me than a perfect plate of food sitting on a sparkly counter top. That is the magic of restaurant life, that little rush I sometimes miss. This night was fluid and fun and dreamy and full of life and at the risk of repeating myself, I’m just so grateful to be in community with creative people who show up and bring it every time ⚡️ . . - - - - - - - - 📷@annathewolf For: @dominomag - - - - - - - - . . #pink #springequinox #sodomino #feedsupper #tomatosalad #tomatosaladforpresident #burratagram These warmer days have me dreaming about barn dinners with the doors flung wide open, a breeze blowing through and a table full of love and laughter--basically a repeat of this night, my annual @feed Supper that I co-hosted with @ravenwoodny on the last warm days of last year. ✨ Some of the most fun times I’ve had cooking recently are the nights I get out of my own kitchen and cook for friends + strangers, restaurant style. This night cooking alongside my pal @chrislanier was a dream, making magic in his epic barn kitchen, working with the most stunning produce from @longseasonefarm, and plating just within reach of Chris’s intense, flavor-bomb sauces and smells (he is a master). It brought back so much of why I came to cooking in the first place, and how lucky I feel to have these guys in my life. ✨ Fifteen years ago, I landed at Cafe Boulud to learn to cook for real. Just days before I left for a summer job cooking in St. Tropez, in marched Chris on the line. We re-connected years later at @real_simple mag (where I was food director and he was one of our go-to stylists), and not long after we both headed upstate to build lives with our partners and kids. ✨ I fell in love with his wife, his kids, his heart and his mission to exalt the work of the humble farmer (like my grandfather was), and collaborating on this menu was tops for me. ✨ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ There's so much more to say and share but for tonight, here's a few of my favorite images from the big night. Grab the latest copy of @dominomag for details on what we served, from perfectly shucked oysters by our buddies from @oysterpartybk to a triple-layer rose cake from our dear friend @the_upstate_table . Our goal: to spoil our community in a super relaxed way, spark lots of creative collaboration around the table and raise enough to provide 50K meals for kids in need at the same time. Were so happy and grateful to report, it worked. 💗 #grateful ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 📷: @annathewolf For: @dominomag - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - dinner tonight!! Probably my favorite thing I’ve ever developed for @NYTcooking: Chickpeas, kale, and some broccolini for good measure, thrown under the broiler (think: super crispy edges and fast, fast, fast) and tossed with lemony pasta and creamy ricotta cheese. The first time I made this I ate half the pot (serves 4!!!). Chances are you have half of what you need here in your pantry, and the rest you can pick up on your way home, because, it’s almost spring and that’s worth celebrating with a seriously good meal ⚡️⚡️ . . 📷 @juliagartland + food styling (those pasta swirls) by @bwashbu . #springiscoming #almostspring #pasta #feedfeed #foodwinewomen #nytcooking #carbloading #pastanight #dinnertonight #chickpeas #vegetarianrecipes #healthyish #feedingthefamily ✨GIVEAWAY✨ Babies + cakes!!!

Until recently, I did just about everything for my kids, like preparing a home cooked meal for them three times a day, including school lunch. Recently I saw a list of chores appropriate for an eight-year-old, and my eyes popped out of my head—it was LONG. It left me feeling like, oh, I am making this much harder on myself than I need to. She can help! They both can! Since then, both kids have been filling their own water bottles and making sandwiches for their lunchboxes, and feeling pretty good about it. Also filed under things that make them proud: one lunchbox that helps provide school meals for FIFTEEN kids in need. That’s right: every dollar spent at @feed this year goes to help feed kids IN AMERICA, and there are many in need (200,000 kids in NY state alone rely on school lunch programs every single day). This girl has grown up with the FEED mission as a part of our family lives, and I love watching her grasp what it means to support businesses and organizations that is focused on giving. It’s pretty powerful. ✨ . I wrote about lunchbox love notes, what we pack for school lunch in our house and why for my monthly column for @FEED, in celebration of national nutrition month. Head over and give it a read and, tell me what your kids favorite packed lunch is 👇🏻, if you’re a lunchbox note kinda parent, and what ways your kids are helping you make mealtimes happen. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ . #womanonamission #nationalnutritionmonth #lunchboxgoals #lunchbox #lunchtimefun #schoollunches #lunchboxinspo #giveback #lunchboxlove #kidslunchbox #feedingthefamily #lunchboxgoals #feed #familyfood #foodwinewomen #letthechildren #choresforkids #habitandhome #feedtheworld #feedthechildren #nokidhungry #feedingamerica #healthyschoollunch #nutritionmonth #loveinalunchbox #thehappynow #motherhood #motherhoodrising Of all the fun, amazing collaborations that have come out of a life upstate, one of the absolute highlights was hosting my annual @feed Supper with my dear friends @danamcclure + @chrisnlanier of @ravenwoodny in their gorgeous barn last fall. That we raised enough to provide 50,000 meals for kids in need in one night, with the help of a dozen upstate makers and guests we love, was incredible + humbling. Having @annathewolf come and shoot the whole night for @dominomag was the icing on the cake. You can see the whole story in Domino’s Spring Issue (on newsstands now)—an absolutely beauty of a story, and such an honor. I’ve been a huge fan of Domino since day one—such a source of inspiration and celebration of women doing beautiful, notable things in this world and I’m so honored to be among them 💓 (Thank you, @dominomag 🙏🏻). Much more about this magical night to come, including shout outs to our incredible collaborators, but for tonight, gratitude⚡️If I’ve learned anything in the last few years in this incredible community, it’s that everything is twice as beautiful and powerful and meaningful when shared, and we’re so very grateful for the many hands that made this night shine. ✨ . . @annathewolf #sodomino #feedsupper #dinnerparty #barndinner #livemoremagic #andnorth #ravenwood #cheeseboard #hudsonworkshop #grateful #heartfull #upstateny #ulstercounty #barnparty #foodwinewomen ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ this is us, a little shaggy and unkempt, blueberry stained, stuffed on weekend food, winter-sun-soaked, happy. ✨ We’re preparing for yet another snow day, followed by a streak of deadlines (his, mine) so tonight feels like a good time to soak in this view and record the little things that are us RN. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ + we #mariekondo the whole house top to bottom and here’s what you should know: it takes 100x more time/effort than you see on TV (and like, 6 weeks) but, worth it. Everyone has mastered the fold, and I no longer feel like the family laundress. Most importantly, though, I keep looking at Andràs with greater love and all I can say is: I'm sorry for the things I said when we had too much stuff. 😂 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ +Màtyàs has turned a corner from from uncontrolled chaos to intentional rascal hood. He’s hilarious, passionate, deeply feeling, full of love and likely to be found hiding naked in the kitchen, snacking on Parmesan (true story, it happened today). He’s (still) obsessed with baking at all hours of the day or night, and no piece of fruit is safe in his sight.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ + Greta has grown up so much in the last two months—I hear it in her measured temper, her wit, and her ability to handle so much more on her own than just weeks ago. She’s become my loyal confidant in reaching all kinds of goals (hers + mine) and alternatively has her head stuffed in a book for hours on end, giving our days quiet pauses we haven’t known in 8 years. If your children aren’t reading or playing independently yet, all I have to say is hang on, it gets SO MUCH easier. It feels like we just made it over some invisible bridge we’ve been hiking toward (uphill, barefoot and on an empty stomach) for 8 solid years and even if the view is only this glorious for a day, or a weekend, we’ll take it. 🙏🏻❤️ #thisisus #sparkjoy Sunday things ✨ salted chocolate tart + cuddles, on repeat. . . #sundayz #leweekend #weekendvibes
