Everyday food, this way
Everyday foodLemon pasta without a heavy sauce
Starchy cooking water helps oil, lemon, and pasta come together.
Everyday foodTofu with crisp edges and a late sauce
Give the surface a chance to brown before bringing in the glaze.
Everyday foodA red lentil soup that thickens in the bowl
Leave this soup a little looser in the pan than you want it at the table.
