Buttered Stuffing with Celery and Leeks

There’s a reason my stuffing recipe hasn’t really changed in years—this crispy, buttery, leek, garlic and celery-laden version is my platonic ideal.

Matzo Ball Soup

If you’re celebrating Hanukkah (or just looking to fight off a winter cold) you can’t beat the classic. This soup has all the best things: light, fluffy matzo balls, an intense amount of celery, and #lotsofdill

Celery Salad with Sour Apple and Walnuts

This is the best salad to eat next to any hunk of braised meat, or on its own in the middle of the day with shredded bits of leftover roast chicken.

Tangy Grilled Hot Wings

If you’re looking for something to throw on the grill this weekend, these crowd-pleasing spicy, crispy hot wings are a great place to start.

A Pretty Classic Chicken Pot Pie

If you like stuffing, if you like chicken, if you like things baked beneath a buttery crust, then this chicken pot pie is for you.

Classic Celery Stuffing

Stuffing is my favorite food, and this is my favorite stuffing, bar none. Highly recommend making more than one pan.

Cheater’s Turkey Stock

If you have the time or desire (or both) to make your own turkey stock from additional parts and bones before Thanksgiving cooking gets started, feel free. The rest of us can doctor store-bought broth with the “extra” parts of the turkey.

Potato Salad with Celery and Mustard

This mustardy, crunchy, tangy, herby, wonderful potato salad makes an excellent plus one at any picnic/bbq/party all summer long. Don’t worry about it being out for too long—it gets better the longer it sits, but it will also surely get eaten quickly. 

Spicy Chicken Salad with Toasted Fennel and Celery

This is one of my favorite lunches, and a great way to use up leftover chicken.

Clams With Celery and Toasted Garlic

Most clams you buy have already been scrubbed and soaked to purge any sediment, mud or sand, but it’s still a good idea to give them another scrub once you’re in your own kitchen. And the chorizo (or bacon, or pancetta) is optional; if you leave it out, the recipe is pescatarian.

Crushed Baby Potatoes With Sardines, Celery, and Dill

Boiled potatoes are great to keep on hand for out-of-hand snacking and as a quick addition to things like a skillet full of chicken fat or a midday lunch salad, but also excellent as a foil for rich, fatty, tinned fish.
