Our Go-To Recipes for Our Favorite Secret Ingredients

Find out what Mark does with porcinis and how Sam Irby uses chicken bouillon

Thanks for visiting The Bittman Project, a place where food is everything (or pretty close).

A month ago, we posted an audio session that included some of our favorite people — Samantha Irby and her wife, Kirsten Jennings; Kayla Stewart; and Holly Haines — talking about their favorite ingredients. (Are they actually secret? Well, not anymore.) People loved it. So we’ve got something a little extra: recipes, one from each of us. Go ahead: Make our ingredients yours.
