[Editor’s note: there isn’t a chocolate chip cookie recipe in this post, but there are links to all the cookie recipes Pen & Fork tested.] I fell down a rabbit hole. It all started with a cookie called Secretly Vegan Salted Chocolate Chip Cookie in the “Food52 Genius Desserts” Cookbook. (I reviewed the cookbook here.) I couldn’t […]
My latest article for Sun Valley Magazine had me in the local library, researching citrus. It was not a terrible way to spend a day. I’ve always known that winter is citrus season, but I didn’t know how small the citrus world really was until I worked on this article. Idaho doesn’t grow citrus, but […]
