Broccoli Cheddar Dumplings

by Cathy Erway | posted in: Dumplings, Recipes, Sides & Salads, vegetarian | 5

So maybe you consider yourself an aficionado of Chinese dumplings. Maybe you’re a sucker for hearty, all-American food, too. Maybe you’re just searching for a vegetarian dumpling filling that isn’t a mosaic of brown-green ingredients with an ultimately bland, nondescript taste (mei wei dao! if you speak Mandarin, that is). In actuality, you don’t need to hail from any of these persuasions to enjoy the unexpected delight of these dumplings — because it’s so unexpected yet delicious.

Winter Bean Stew With Smoked Paprika and Wild Mushrooms

by Cathy Erway | posted in: Beans, gluten-free, Recipes, Soups & Stews, vegan, vegetarian | 8

And lots of garlic. And slowly cooked, finely chopped carrots, onions, green olives and cured sausage — oh my! This stew was so terribly satisfying on a cold winter night. I’ve eaten it (with a poached egg) for breakfast every morning since, too. I really wish I had more for tomorrow’s, and may start one anew.

Clams Simmered with Sake and Daikon Radish

by Cathy Erway | posted in: Recipes, Seafood | 1

Just because the holiday season is officially over doesn’t mean cooking has to return to a boring routine. I’ve resolved to cook more under-explored foods this year, and stood at the seafood stand at the market for about five seconds before deciding on clams. Why? Because they — like daikon radishes, which were also snatched from a nearby market bin — are quick and easy to cook, flavorful, healthy, sustainable, and very inexpensive to boot. Hm, I guess that’s not … Read More

Chicken Soup with Fennel and Farro

by Cathy Erway | posted in: gluten-free, Recipes, Soups & Stews | 2

Last week, I cooked for a dinner party. We had roast chicken, stuffed with farro and chestnuts, a thick reduction sauce made from its drippings, and a crisp winter salad with shaved vegetables not including one stray fennel bulb that had gotten lost in the refrigerator. The next day, I simmered this soup on the stove with the remnants of the night’s meal. We had gone to see the Nutcracker, and this was our pre-show feast. I dare say that … Read More

The 10 Best Food Innovations of 2012

by Cathy Erway | posted in: Recipes | 0

‘Tis the season to reflect on the year. Before we go making lists of to-dos for the coming one, we might gain some insight from what’s been accomplished in the food world so far. I’ve loosely based this top-ten list of events, discoveries and movements as “innovations” — rather than mere developments or trends — because I think each one underscores a gradual shifting of times. They’re not “inventions,” nor are they all new, and some of them were old … Read More

Spinach and White Bean Dip

by Cathy Erway | posted in: Beans, gluten-free, Recipes, Sides & Salads, vegetarian | 5

I’ve warmed up to baked, savory dips lately, the kind you schmear onto a cracker or crisped piece of bread at parties. I love cracking the golden crust like a creme brulee, revealing an oozing interior and steam. On Thanksgiving, I mustered my first-ever artichoke dip, a simple concoction using tangy Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise or cream cheese. Last weekend, it was this creamy blend of white beans and spinach, pulsed just enough to create a velvety texture but … Read More

Simple Pear Tart

by Cathy Erway | posted in: Desserts, Pies, Recipes, vegetarian | 4

Easy as tart, the saying would be better put. The elegant, refined-looking, open-faced pie — tart — is a holiday crowd-pleaser that requires about half the work. This recipe will also yield a treat that’s about half the height of an average fruit pie with a top crust, but top it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, and I don’t think you’ll hear any complaints. With juicy pears now in season, I’ve added just a touch of sugar to … Read More

Here’s Lookin’ At You Cook, Hiroko Shimbo

by Cathy Erway | posted in: Profiles, Recipes | 4

It is humbling to enter the home of a world-renowned authority on food such as Hiroko Shimbo. The week before Thanksgiving, I was listening to WNYC and heard the author, chef and food consultant chime in about how the Japanese squash variety kabocha was an excellent choice for making “pumpkin” pie from scratch, for its sweet, nutty flavor and creamy texture. Two weeks later, thanks to some generosity of her publicists, I was standing in her home kitchen in New … Read More

Sunchokes with Radicchio, Pomegranate Seeds & Pink Peppercorn Dressing

by Cathy Erway | posted in: gluten-free, Recipes, Sides & Salads, vegetarian | 1

Crisp, sweet cabbages, nutty, gnarly-looking roots — who said winter wasn’t a good season for salads? I thought I’d give myself an extra-special treat this morning, since my birthday is around the corner (can you believe I’m turning thirty-one?!). So instead of the new boots I’ve been ogling, I went for some sunchokes at the farmers market, because they’re charmingly rustic-looking, too.

Butternut Squash & Apple Soup

by Cathy Erway | posted in: gluten-free, Recipes, Soups & Stews, vegetarian | 3

I decorate my home with food, not flowers — a bowl of peaches or tomatoes to grab from in the summer, jaunty new herbs like mint in the spring, and a fetching squash of some type to plunk on the coffee table in fall and winter. A great pile of apples often paints the scene, from mid-September to about May. If you’re like me, you’ve probably found yourself equipped with a good squash and clutch of apples from a recent … Read More
