Tag Archives: Kale.jpg) Dear COOK + SMARTS, I have a young child who’s going through his picky-eater phase. He greets all greens and beans with a great big, “ICK!” I’d love to find some recipes that’ll get him to come around. Is that possible? Oh dear. While we recognize that parents need to take the lead in helping…  Even in California, winter has arrived. Most days I hibernate in my home office, covered in a blanket with a space heater at my feet, craving hearty winter foods. By the time I “leave” work and head [20 whole feet] to the kitchen to start dinner, I often happily turn to kale.

Blanch + Saute is a cooking formula that is used almost every night in our kitchen for three reasons: 1) we love making vegetables a big part of every meal; 2) the blanching step makes vegetables cook in a flash (perfect for weekday preparation); and 3) the sauteing step step adds a ton of flavor. This cooking formula can be applied to almost any hearty vegetable, and we have a whole list below to get you through all four seasons. |
