Side view of grill pan on stovetop with 14 small artichokes - half of them are marked by the grill, while the other half are newly placed on to the hot pan. Small whisps of steam and smoke can be seen hovering over the artichokes.
Grilling carciofini (small artichokes)…utterly delicious, while transporting me into the heart of spring!

Overhead view of two bowls of my chowder, garnished with potato cubes, sweet peas, and croutons. Shown on a white platter with two spoons and afternoon shadows
I needed to use some potatoes, the wild garlic near me has emerged, and I spotted some Italian sweet peas at the market… A Sweet Pea and Wild Garlic Chowder was the result…

Bernie's new billionaire wealth tax would raise $4.4T from the super-rich over the next decade.
That's more than enough to reverse Trump's Medicaid cuts, raise teacher pay, make childcare affordable, and build millions of affordable homes.
And guess what? The super-rich will still be super rich.
Asparagus and strawberries are in my local supermarket. I’m ignoring them.
This week, I’m sharing why patience might be the most underrated skill in planning what to cook...and sharing what I’m actually cooking.

An overhead view of a serving spoon coated in creamy béchamel. Rigatoni pasta and broccoli fill out this gratin dish...and a touch of grated nutmeg completes the topping.
An exceptionally creamy Rigatoni Gratin with Broccoli and Mushrooms - a wonderfully delicious and satisfying Sunday afternoon dish!

This pretty much sums it up...at least, an excellent summary of what's bouncing around inside my head!
An overhead view of my plate of spaghetti dressed in vegan bolognese made from roasted walnuts, mushroom duxelle, and soy. A fork and spoon sit on top of the spaghetti, as if they were taking a nap while a shot the photo.
Post jog plate of spaghetti with vegan Bolognese - it accomplished everything: taste, energy, comfort…and a solid nap about 20 minutes later.

That's certainly a different vibe...
A straight on eye-level photo of 7 sage leaves coated in beer batter and deep-fried. There are bits of fleur de sel on the sage leaves, and a bunch of fresh sage in the background that appear blurred.
Müsliblätter in Swiss-German or Salbeimäuse in German. Translation - mice leaves or sage mice…so named because they look like mice. These sage leaves are coated in beer batter and fried. Delicious as a snack, and simple to make a vegan variation.

Zürich was looking ideal today

Overhead view of two bowls of spring pea and wild garlic chowder. The soup has fresh peas and potato cubes on the surface, along with a few croutons and a twist of black pepper. Two old spoons sit alongside the soup bowls.
The arrival of the year’s first wild garlic also puts me in the mood for a Spring Pea and Wild Garlic Chowder…

Overhead view of mint-green plate holding a salad of puntarelle, shaved fennel, orange pieces, radish slices, capers, and chopped pistachio nuts. The white in the middle is marinated and crumbled tofu feta.
Bridging the gap between winter and spring, and messing with tradition… Puntarelle and Shaved Fennel Salad, with Capers, Pistachio Nuts, Tarocco Oranges, Marinated Tofu Feta and dressed with a Sweet-Sour Verjus Vinaigrette.

I'm also struggling with this, Jamie. These types of photos make me sick...I feel completely detached from what the US government represents...
Umami doesn't just add flavor. Under the right conditions, it multiplies it. I'm still working out the full implications — but this principle has already changed how I cook everything.

I'm implementing a new personal policy. Whenever a company sends me an email asking me to spend just a few minutes filling out a survey to gauge how satisfied I am with their customer service or product offering, my reply will be to ask them to pay me for my thoughts...
This photo speaks volumes...it should be the exclamation point of her legacy--something forever attached to her name. The bravery of these victims holding up their hands in defiance to her empty coldness is inspiring!
Switzerland has mail-in ballots 4 times per year - no issues!

Looks appealing
Two Great Crested Grebes begin their mating ritual. The one on the right has his head twisted sideways while looking at the potential mate. The one on the left is attempting to determine if this is a worthy mate...
It appears these two Great Crested Grebes have already bridged the gap between winter and spring...

A great cormorant emerging from a dive clutching a poor pike, albeit large.
The great cormorant finally flipped the fish so that it could swallow it hole with the head going in first.
The great cormorant, with gray breeding feathers on the head and neck, swallows the large pike whole...no doubt very satisfied and fully ready to breed.
Today's nature walk in Switzerland produced this unbelievable scene between a Great Cormorant and an unfortunate Pike...just incredible to see!

My Moroccan mother's recipes always had something missing. For years, I thought she forgot to tell me the crucial steps. Turns out, the gaps were the whole point—a gift disguised as sabotage.

A devil in disguise...
Bravo... It's probably also time to try and get amazon out our lives...or at least, as much as possible and in our control.
If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff.
Democracy dies in oligarchy.
Decency is blooming in parts of Europe... It's like Spring - a time for renewal!
