Two Simple Salad Dressing Loved by All, Lemon-Blueberry Dutch Baby, Pizza Night News & More

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 have not always been the best salad eaters, but in recent years, these two dressings have eased them into the salad-eating sphere. Bonus: they're easy to make and adults like them, too. In other dressing news, on Friday, I made the spring wedge salad recipe (pictured above) from Pizza Night, which you can find over at The Department of Salad and which is dressed with a Greek yogurt ranch. I always serve wedge salads with extra dressing on the side, and while I did not intend for my children to use it as a dip, they did: upon seeing the bowl of herby ranch, in went their pepper sticks and baby carrots, and before long, the extra dressing was gone. Score! Friends, this will be the last newsletter I send before Pizza Night arrives on Tuesday. For the past two years, I've shared updates here and there about the book's progress from developing the recipes to traveling to California for the photoshoot to revealing the cover and more. I am so grateful for your enthusiasm and support during this journey, and I cannot believe Pizza Night is nearly here. If you haven't ordered yourself a copy yet, do so here!!

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)...
