When we were in Charleston, we spent some time with an old and dear friend of Jon's, as well as his wife Jen and their little guy Ben. Mark cooked us dinner one night of grilled salmon with pineapple salsa and beets he had roasted on a bed of kosher salt. And while everything tasted seriously delicious, I could not get over how tasty these beets were...

This is a recipe inspired by one by Bobby Flay, one of my favorite chefs. I've now made it countless times, and I've served it warm as for brunch, I've made it ahead of time for picnic style get-togethers, and I've also enjoyed leftovers for lunch over and over again. And while I love potato salad of almost any variety, this one is so dynamic that it's hard to beat...

Rhubarb is one of my favorite things on earth. And like Thanksgiving dinner, and corn on the cob, and egg nog, rhubarb is one of those elusive things you only have a certain time of year, thus adding to its appeal.

This rustic crostata that I made with her pie crust is a good start...

I don’t remember it tearing my life apart, yearning for my parents to get back together, or not understanding it. Rather, I’ve always felt like it made sense to me, and that it was unique to them—not something that was bound to spoil my own relationships someday or color and shape my views of my own marriage.
