A friend asked me last week how long it takes to get a recipe right. I told him the only answer I know: As long as it takes.
cucumber salad with sesame and rice vinegar
smitten kitchenby deb12 Aug 2026
It is an error that needs correcting that in the near-20 years of plugging recipes into this url, only a few truly star cucumbers — and highly unrepresentative too, given that we are probably...
spaghetti aglio e olio

braised leeks and lentils with arugula and yogurt
smitten kitchenby deb16 Apr 2026
I’ve been pining for a springy way to combine leeks and lentils in an unfussy, one-pot, weeknight-friendly meal but would get stuck on one thing: how annoying leeks are — and I say this from a...
