I love a good food column and the NY Times has always answered the call. Too bad about the rest of the paper. Regardless, this latest one, D.I.Y. Cookbook (click on the title, above, to link), is really amazing. I want to make easily half of the recipes in the list. Maybe not the tomato jam or the kimchi, but definitely the home-made Nutella and the vin d’orange. And maybe the Tesa. Just maybe.

I have to try the creme fraiche since sour cream does such a thing to my gut due to lactose intolerance. I can live without the ice cream, but the loss of sour cream is hard to bear. And the corn muffin mix too. All in all, an excellent effort!
