What I'm Consuming, April: A Break

May 17, 2024 | favoritechicken.substack.com | Kate Dries

Apparently, I’ve been doing this newsletter monthly for a little bit over six years. I started it at a time when I was between jobs, and when I thought maybe I would get into food media, so the combination seemed like a good time to try getting some structure in my life on this front. Since then, I’ve worked at a few different places, and moved into design media, not food media.
A recipe for polenta in a pinch

Apr 24, 2024 | favoritechicken.substack.com | Kate Dries

When feeding vegetarians and people who are gluten-intolerant, one must try to avoid the easy meal fallback: pasta. Yet when searching for a quick go-to, it’s often the first thought that comes to mind; oh, I have x, y and z and all of that can mix together on a base of penne. The recent years of my culinary life, however, have been so much fuller as I’ve explored the many other grains the world has to offer, one of which is polenta.
What I'm Consuming, March: Just Salad?

Apr 5, 2024 | favoritechicken.substack.com | Kate Dries

I am a notorious hater of salad lunch spots; the Sweetgreen drop-off shelf at my former office was the ban of my existence. Chop’t (horrible name), Just Salad, etc.—the smells, the size, the flavors do not appeal to me. And yet our office manager has ordered Just Salad twice in the past two weeks and I have been extremely pleased with my order of Cilant…
A recipe for Nina's Beans that I didn't eat

Mar 26, 2024 | favoritechicken.substack.com | Kate Dries

There’s something about a deeply simple recipe that has an allure to it. There are so few ingredients, and the steps are so limited, that it feels like magic when it comes together better than things you could have spent more time on. This is how I’d thought about Nina’s Beans, a recipe from the cookbook that has basically nothing in it, but was allegedly written by our family friend Nina, herself a great cook. I’d always wondered about them: these beans, I thought, must be incredible.
What I'm Consuming, February: Cookbook Experimentation

Mar 3, 2024 | favoritechicken.substack.com | Kate Dries

If you’ve been cooking for awhile and also have been online for awhile, it’d be close to impossible to miss Smitten Kitchen. People have a rabid love of Deb Perelman, and though I too have been reading her for years, her thing is sort of so simple-seeming I never escalated to the point of needing to add one of her cookbooks to my already established too…
A recipe for meat and two pork tenderloin

Feb 19, 2024 | favoritechicken.substack.com | Kate Dries

I said most of what I need to say about pork loin in depth the last time I made it for this esteemed publication, so if you want a deep dive, refresh your memory with that. As I’d mentioned then, while writing about a recipe that called for apples and onions, there was another recipe in the cookbook I used to make much more frequently—in my memory, in college? or maybe post-college more realistically—but that I hadn’t whipped out in a long time.
What I'm Consuming, January: Comfort Cozy

Feb 5, 2024 | favoritechicken.substack.com | Kate Dries

For Christmas, instead of getting my mom another scarf, which her neighbors have covered, my sister and I decided we would get her the gift our labor. Specifically, discovering that if your parents were artists and obsessed with you, you have roughly 8,000 photos from your childhood before your father was given or more likely bought himself a digital ca…
A recipe for Italian-looking Lasagna

Jan 19, 2024 | favoritechicken.substack.com | Kate Dries

Chrimbo Limbo is, as my friend Erin likes to exclaim with vigor on repeat, the best week of the year. Nothing’s going on, except seeing friends, and, if you live in New York, going to museums and eating at Upper East Side restaurants you’d never normally go to near said museums. One thing I like to do, if I’m in town, is do a dinner party with some of my oldest girl friends, many from high school but some from middle and elementary—just whoever is around. A classic ladies dinner, if you will.
What I'm Consuming, December: Fish balls

Jan 12, 2024 | favoritechicken.substack.com | Kate Dries

I’ve discussed the Don Angie cookbook here, it feels, at length, but given that our Feast of the Seven Fishes this year was largely from it, it’s worth a mention of everything we made. I of course thought this wouldn’t be that big a deal, and then we found ourselves cooking most of the day because most of the recipes have a couple recipes in it. Would I…
Three recipes for things you don't need a recipe for

Dec 22, 2023 | favoritechicken.substack.com | Kate Dries

This is going to give real “end of year” energy, but hey, that’s where we’re all at. There are a number of recipes in the cookbook, as we’ve discussed before, that are not quite recipes, or, rather, once you’ve been taught them, don’t really need a recipe. That is, unless you’re the kind of person who always wants simple things the best possible way which, sometimes I am and often I just want to eat. First up: scrambled eggs. They’ve been on my mind lately, probably because of, where else, TikTok.
