On Our Minds and in Our Carts: Tomato and Saffron Spaghetti

This week: Pasta making with (3-year-old) Max, why NYC bike lanes should be recognized as part of the food system, eating (harmoniously) with your family, and grilled pecorino and honey bruschetta.

Bruschetta al Pecorino Grigliato e Miele (Grilled Pecorino and Honey Bruschetta)

The combination of savoury, slightly spicy and tangy pecorino cheese with the aroma of the rosemary and the sweetness of the honey on a bed of crispy, grilled sourdough bread creates a rustic and very appetising bruschetta.

Spaghetti al Pomodoro e Zafferano (Tomato and Saffron Spaghetti)

So many people over the years have asked me, 'What's your favourite pasta?' It might be surprising, but really it's a simple spaghetti al pomodoro! This version of this simple dish also has a touch of saffron, which adds a subtle but beautiful aroma that marries perfectly with the rest of the sauce.

Food with Mark Bittman: Justin Ellen

Justin Ellen is a phenom baker at just 22 years old, has almost a million Instagram followers, and his debut cookbook "Better Than Grandma's" is out this week. He appeared on Netflix's "Is It Cake?" at just 18, fooling the judges twice, while also missing his prom and graduation to film it. This episode was recorded in person at Mark's house in Glynwood, where Justin and Mark made bread pudding from Justin's book.

Hanging Out With Justin Ellen — and Aging Myself Profoundly

Most of us in this community love cookbooks and find many of them worth loving — my dad, probably due to years of working on them and around them, is more discerning than most. So when he told me how much he liked Justin's book, and especially after we’d met Justin in person and seen firsthand just how genuine he is, so true to himself — I knew that, in a busy world of many cooks, we’d become acquainted with one who is around to stay.

Bread Pudding

Rich and soft and the kind of dessert that feels old-school in the best way. Simple ingredients, big flavor, and even better the next day.

Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting

Unbelievably moist, packed with warm spices, and finished with a thick layer of cream cheese frosting. Every bite is soft, rich, and perfectly balanced.
