LOS ANGELES -- The best ice cream is often the ice cream you're eating. It could be the chalky layers of vanilla and strawberry beneath the cake crumbs of a Good Humor bar. The stabilizer-filled soft serve from a fast food restaurant. The fast-melting cone of chocolate malted krunch from your local pharmacy. But if you were to press me for the ...Read more

The first glimpse of rhubarb at my local farmers market brings me nothing but pure joy. The tart ruby stalks are a nostalgic reminder of the long-awaited springs I pined for in New England, where I spent my childhood.

There are times for a big, juicy pub burger — and that’s totally great. But most of the time what I’m yearning for is a thin, crispy patty with lacy edges and a perfectly melty layer of American cheese (deli-sliced, not plastic-wrapped!). All ...Read more

Roasted shrimp and corn make this seafood salad especially fresh and flavorful. Start with raw, peeled, deveined shrimp and roast them with corn kernels until just cooked through; the shrimp stay juicy and the corn turns sweet and tender. These are a far cry from the overcooked rubbery shrimp you will find at the market.

Pork tenderloin is the star of this quick dinner. True to its name, it’s naturally tender and juicy, and because it’s so lean it cooks in just a few minutes. The pork is served over a bed of spaghetti tossed with fresh arugula, whose peppery bite adds a bright, fresh contrast. Thin slices of Parmesan melt gently over the pork, adding a rich,...Read more

MINNEAPOLIS — As a kid in small-town Minnesota, I didn’t appreciate the bounty of my dad’s sprawling garden. I turned my nose up at parsnips, rutabagas and eggplant, and tolerated green peppers and green beans. I did welcome squash, tomatoes, carrots and zucchini though, so all was not lost on me.
