Cod with Ginger-Basil Butter
Yankee’s January-February issue features one of my favorite recipes: a dish of steamed cod (cooked in foil packets) served over fragrant rice with a deliciously simple ginger-basil sauce. The sauce, made with butter, basil, ginger, star anise, cumin, and chile, comes from a Southeast Asian vegetarian stew that my friend and colleague, Molly Watson, developed […]
This warm, aromatic, and healthy gluten-free quinoa pudding is based on recipe that blogger and cookbook author Béatrice Peltre (www.latartinegourmande.com) created for our upcoming summer issue.

In doing so, he introduced the lifesaving technique […]

New England Baked Bean Soup
Like a good New Englander, I adore baked beans. On their own with brown bread for Sunday supper, alongside a burger at a summer cookout, or spooned on top of scrambled eggs in the morning for breakfast — those sweet, molasses-infused beans always find a spot on the menu. Still, it’s fun to think of […]
The 2000’s are close enough to remember without much effort, but let’s take a trip back with a side of Greek Stuffed Mushrooms. It was a decade marked by the tragedy of 9/11, the fall of Saddam Hussein, Hurricane Katrina, the first iPhone, and the election of the country’s first African-American president in 2008 with […]
