Something Else to Bake on St. Patrick's Day + Some News
|
Hello Friends, Earlier this week a display of raisin-studded Irish soda bread at my local grocery store made me think of these lemony currant scones from the first Tartine cookbook. So I picked up a bag of currants, made the dough that evening, stashed it in the fridge, then baked the scones the following morning. One bite reminded me why I love them so: they're flaky, buttery, nicely lemony, and perfectly sweet. If you're looking for another reason to break out the good Irish butter, look no further. I can't think of a better way to start the day.
PS: I always cut them into triangles now to avoid having to re-roll and cut again, and with this latest batch, I didn't even soak the currants — they were so moist right out of the bag (Sun-Maid Zante currants... hidden on the very bottom shelf... don't get discouraged if you can't find them at your store... they're probably hiding!). If you are using very dried, hard-as-pebbles currants, I'd suggest soaking them as the recipe suggests. Let's Make Pizza... Together! During class we’ll make:

In Friday's pizza newsletter, I wrote about another salad-topped pizza inspired by an Instagram Reel someone sent me. The crust is similar to Detroit-style pizza dough, but I've skipped the fridge proof, which shortens the timeline. You can make this dough tonight, and enjoy your pizza tomorrow.

Pasta Carbonara with Leeks and Lemon
No Boil Mac n' Cheese: This is an old recipe on the blog that I love. I made it for the family recently, and they gobbled it up. The layer of herby bread crumbs is irresistible.
This sheet pan version is very similar, and I'm going to revisit it this week:

Hi. I'm Ali.

Friends, hello. Where to begin? First, when faced with the difficult decision at Tartine last week, I went with the morning bun and a cup of black coffee. No regrets. I had forgotten that Tartine flavors these buns with orange zest, and the combination of the citrusy sugar with the flaky, sweet pastry is, well, just heavenly. Second, earlier this week I learned that Pizza Night made The New York Times bestseller list. More than joy, I felt extreme gratitude. I truly have never felt so much...
Friends, hello! Good morning from San Francisco. I've been on the road for five days now, and in addition to meeting some of you in person, which has been a blast, I've been eating very well: mostly pizza but also burritos and chilaquiles. I'm about to join the queue at Tartine Bakery, and I'm so looking forward to a slice of quiche — or a morning bun? or bread pudding? or croque monsieur? How will I ever decide? I will report back next week. In the meantime, here are 10 culinary (and beyond)...
A few weeks ago, I shared a photo in my Instagram stories of my children and their four cousins sitting at the kids' table at my parents' house eating Easter Dinner. Upon seeing it, a woman messaged me immediately exclaiming: How are so many children eating salad?! On that evening, the salad had been dressed with this Apple Cider Vinaigrette, which I sent to the woman immediately along with another dressing children generally seem to like: my Great Aunt Phyllis's Greek Salad Dressing. My kids...
