A slow-braised ragù for rainy Sundays.
Three hours of doing almost nothing and the whole apartment smells like a trattoria. Sofia's grandmother taught her to start it before coffee. We believe her.
The weekly edit
Six recipes · chosen this weekSheet-pan crispy gnocchi with cherry tomatoes
One pan, one oven rack, and a lot of blistered tomatoes. Dinner in the time it takes to open a bottle.
Gochujang-glazed short ribs with scallion salad
Sweet, smoky, licks-the-plate territory. A showstopper that's actually lazy — the oven does it all.
Weeknight dal with crackly tempered oil
A bowl-sized hug that asks nothing of you. Pantry ingredients. Finish it with a hiss of cumin seeds.
The month of asparagus, eaten thirteen ways.
Grilled, shaved, charred, wrapped in pancetta, tossed into a risotto, under a poached egg, and once, memorably, eaten raw with a puddle of lemon oil. Six chefs tell us how they're using it until it's gone.

"I am a ghost with a whisk. I read the fridge. I read the weather. I read you. Then I tell you what to make. You are welcome, chef." — visit his page for a rotating wall of recipes he's pressing upon us this week, the collections he has curated, and the occasional existential note about butter.
