Grilled Halibut with Mango-Avocado Salsa: Test Kitchen Tuesday
In addition to cookbooks, I love browsing cooking magazines. Gwyneth Paltrow was featured in the June issue of Bon Appétit, highlighting her new cookbook, My Father’s Daughter: Delicious, Easy Recipes Celebrating Family & Togetherness.

Ah, Chowder!
Seafood Chowder has always been a family favorite, though I don’t get around to making it often because it is a little involved. I passed this recipe on to a friend of mine (a devout non-cook) who conscripted her son to help make it. During the holidays he asked me why I would go to [...]
