Coconut Barley Pilaf With Corn, Chicken and Cashews. Tomato Confit. Baked Ziti



Recipe: Coconut Barley Pilaf With Corn, Chicken and Cashews, which comes with and introductory article about the cook, her cat, and her shrivelling ears of summer corn.


While the pilaf simmered, I contemplated the large hunk of poultry in front of me.


Article & Recipes: Caramelized Tomato Confit


This isn’t really, truly a confit.

It’s almost a confit. It has both sugar syrup and olive oil in it, both of which can be used to cover and preserve the item in question, which in this case is caramelized tomatoes.

Technically, since I am not meaning for the sugar and the oil to preserve the caramelized tomatoes , I guess we should call this a relish ...


Blog Post & Recipe: Dinner Tonight: Baked Ziti


But baked ziti is all about the abundant combination of sauce, pasta, and cheese. It's heavy, filling, and meant to be an indulgence [...] The great thing about this recipe is that, as the cookbook advertises, everything happens in one pot. So the pasta literally cooks in the sauce, sucking up as much of the tomato flavor as it can possibly manage. Relatively light on the cheese, this substitutes a bit of heavy cream, which oddly makes the whole dish feel light.
