      Discovering you could eat asparagus raw was a reve Discovering you could eat asparagus raw was a revelation, but this time of year I don’t think there’s a better way to make it 💯💯💯 ⁣ This recipe comes form @jj__mc ‘s #sixseasons, and it’s one of my favorites, a mix of toasty bread crumbs, walnuts, parmesan, lemon, and olive oil. It’s acidic and bright and just plain addictive.⁣ ⁣ How to in stories 🤗 Recipe linked in bio and stories 🤗🤗⁣
      Simple sourdough ciabatta 🍞🍞 and “baguette Simple sourdough ciabatta 🍞🍞 and “baguettes” 🥖🥖⁣ ⁣ Friends! Last month I asked you all which bread you would be most interested in learning to make this year. Many of you said: baguettes! Some of you said: ciabatta! ⁣ This recipe sort of checks both boxes. The ciabatta recipe is truly simple (as far as sourdough goes) and there’s a how-to in stories 🤗 I love this recipe so much bc without any fancy equipment or tricky shaping techniques, you get a beautiful, open, honeycomb crumb.⁣ ⁣ The baguette is not classic by any means — it’s not super crusty, it’s not scored — but it is baguette like nonetheless and will make you want to make a Bahn mi sandwich immediately 🥖🥖⁣ ⁣ I hope you guys love the recipe. It’s linked in profile and in stories. Let me know if you have questions 👋👋👋👋⁣ ⁣ PS: I’m in the process of updating an old yeast-leavened ciabatta recipe on my blog... stay tuned 💕⁣ ⁣ #sourdough #ciabatta #baguettes
      Every time I make @hettymckinnon ‘s life changin Every time I make @hettymckinnon ‘s life changing noodles from her latest book To Asia, With Love, I am astounded by how quickly it comes together and by how flavorful and nourishing it is 💯💯⁣ ⁣ Friends, in stories today I’m sharing another favorite from TAWL: pad Thai salad, which is so fresh and bright tasting, loaded with herbs, scallions, radishes, and peanuts — it’s sooo good 🤗 ⁣ This recipe will live in Story highlights, but the life changing noodle recipe is now on the blog 🎉 Also on the blog is a giveaway: a copy of To Asia, With Love + a pair of TAWL chopsticks (as seen in the last photo above) 📚🥢 Blog post/recipe is linked in profile and stories 🎉⁣ ⁣ Can’t say enough good things about TAWL — it is beautifully written, photographed, and designed, and the recipes are delicious 💯💯💯⁣ ⁣ #toasiawithlove⁣ #toasiawithlovecookbook ⁣

      An old favorite: stewy, slow cooker Gigante beans An old favorite: stewy, slow cooker Gigante beans meets a new favorite: @edibleliving ‘s Instant Pot creamy parmesan polenta from Instant Family Meals 💯🎉🤗💕⁣ ⁣ I used Gigante beans here bc I had them on hand, but they’ve gotten so hard to come by ... let me know if you have any sources? Great Northerns and Cannellini and others all work well here 💗⁣ ⁣ How-to in stories, recipe for the beans linked in bio and stories🤗 recipe for the polenta will live in stories and, of course, Sarah’s beautiful book 💗⁣#instantfamilymeals ⁣ Stay cozy, Friends 👋🏽👋🏽👋🏽👋🏽
      Sourdough or yeast: which makes better 🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕??⁣ ⁣ Can I tell you: I don’t think it matters. Truly, I think making a pizza with glorious air pockets throughout, with a crisp bottom (🤣) and a light tender crumb comes down to two things:⁣ ⁣ 1. How you handle the dough.⁣ 2. Baking in a hot oven on a hot surface (you know I love my @bakingsteel )⁣ ⁣ I’m pretty sure Jim Lahey told us all of this many years ago, but the more pizza I make, the more I find it to be true.⁣ ⁣ I love sourdough. I love yeast. I suppose I celebrate bread’s entire catalog. (😂😂 Anyone anyone?)⁣ ⁣ I made a few pizzas in stories today: one on sourdough pizza dough, one on yeast pizza dough. Love them both 🤗⁣ ⁣ Recipes linked in bio and stories 🍕🍕🍕⁣ ⁣ Have a great weekend 👋🏽👋🏽👋🏽 #sourdough #yeast #pizza
