Garlic has an almost mystical quality. Its pungent vapors are said to ward off vampires (and kisses—though I personally find the scent of garlic more alluring than repellent). When used copiously, as in the classic dish of chicken with 40 cloves of garlic, it can turn a simple meal into a bit of edible magic. But at its heart, this allium is earthy and prosaic—whether subtly boosting a dish's flavor or playing the starring role, it can be found in nearly everything. Keep reading »

One breakfast food from my youth in Colchester, England, remains, in its simplicity, almost impossible to improve upon: the soft-boiled egg, standing at solemn attention in an eggcup. My eggs were prepared by Mrs. Szymbra, a member of the village church where my father served as minister. She and her husband, a Polish immigrant named Roman, often had us over for breakfast, where, along with eggs, they occasionally served fresh jelly donuts. Despite the sweetness of the latter, I remained most fascinated by the former. Keep reading »
