I don’t need much convincing when my husband suggests lunch at our favorite seafood restaurant. It’s a 45-minute drive, and you need to get there shortly after they open to get a table, but the food is absolutely worth it—fresh, creative, and delicious. Ken chose a fried oyster po’ boy,…

I have to admit, I’m not as creative as I could be when it comes to side dishes. For one thing, I tend to make a lot of one-dish meals that don’t really require a side. In other cases, I keep things simple: plain cooked carrots or beans, corn on…

It seems that every cuisine has a chicken and rice dish. They just seem to go together. I can think of any number of chicken and rice dishes that are among my favorite foods: Cuban arroz con pollo, which is distinctly different from the Spanish version; Puerto Rican asopao; Iranian…

When I try a new recipe, I usually make it exactly as the recipe says. If I make it again, I’m likely to tweak it, but very rarely do I make any changes on the first try. I want a sense of what the person who created the recipe tasted,…
