Grain salads are often tilted in one direction or the other - you either have a ton of grains with a few vegetables thrown in or something that just has primarily lettuce and a grain as a small item to add texture. I've never understood why they can't have equal billing. This farro salad tries to remedy that quandary.
Read MoreCan we just shout from the rooftops about stone fruit season? It's my favorite time of year and I'll find any excuse to throw a peach in something. And luckily it makes a pretty incredible addition to your average gazpacho
Read MoreGrowing up in Charleston, pickled shrimp seems like one of those obvious foods. It's probably because both shrimp and pickling are such a way of life. But in NYC I haven't seen it as much, and its a real shame because it's such an easy option.
Read MoreThis recipe is one of those easy-to-throw-together Salad Heroes that has one special ingredient that ties everything together. A quick fry of the blueberry changes the game. It adds a new flavor and texture to an otherwise simple salad. And when combined with the rosemary you'll have a delectable summery treat.

This galette is so simple and looks so pretty that it almost feels unfair. Make them ahead or serve them warm -it'll work either way!
Read MoreSo I'm starting with the first Salad Hero by using an ingredient a lot of people scoff at: a fennel and its fronds. Yes there's more to a fennel than just its bulb. Instead of throwing half of it away we are using the fronds (that Oprah recently thought was dill. Oops.) to take it that extra mile. It's a win-win, that isn't too overpowering but gives the salad a bit of an extra something. Some might even call it a salad hero.
Read MoreMy grandmother was the quintessential pie-baking grandmother. When she passed away I got all her recipes written down on notecards. I've been enjoying going back to them and trying to modernize them, but this time I shared the story with Bon Appetit. But here is the recipe in full
