What to Cook

Cheesy, Salty, Savory Scones

Feeling like something savory instead (same, always)? There’s also a salty, cheesy, dilly version of these perfect fluffy babies.

Sweet Enough Scones

These fluffy, buttery, juicy scones are a nice way to use summer berries, and are very cute on the breakfast table.

Salty Lemon Shortbread

These tart, salty, buttery cookies are an any-occasion dessert for me. Excellent with coffee or tea, a delightful addition a holiday cookie tin, or a nice way to end a big meal.

Hot Buttered Rum Pudding

If you’re looking for a great, unexpected, dare I say sexy dessert for your next dinner party, here it is folks. It’s a nice wintery dessert, especially when served with a post-meal amaro.

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.

Peppered Carrots and Dill

These are basic on purpose, and add a nice peppery freshness to an otherwise rich meal.

Crispy Potatoes With Onions and Chicken Fat

These crispy, schmaltzy, gorgeous potatoes are a little bit fussy, and every bit worth it.

Toasted Rice Pudding

Rice pudding fans, this one’s for you. It’s creamy, nutty, and best served chilled, making it an excellent do-ahead dessert for your next dinner party.
