Apple Pear Cardamom Crisp 02.10.2022

A few notes to consider: * You can make an all pear or all apple crisp if you prefer. Just double the amount of the fruit called for (so 8 apples or 8 pears).  * The joy of a crisp is that the size of the vessel doesn’t really matter. Depending on the size you’ll have more or less height to the crisp, but the cooking times should remain the same. You can use a 9x13-inch baking dish or 9x9-inch bak...

Smoked Trout Salad with All the Spring Things 05.05.2022

A few things to consider: * I used smoked trout, but you could use smoked salmon or another type of smoked fish. You could also flake a non-smoked fish, like the foolproof salmon from a few weeks ago.  * I salt the fennel and radish before, but this is totally optional. I like that the salt makes the veg a bit more malleable, while still retaining some crunch.  * If you don’t have leeks, you could...
