Everything’s been coming up kugel lately. Kugel (literally “potato pudding”) is sort of a baked potato pancake. Its ingredients are simple: grated (using hand or meat grinder, never a food processor) potato...

I know, I know, I know. There are a thousand versions of the old fashioned oatmeal raisin cookie out there, BUT I really want to make this one from The Silver Palate Cookbook. I lost the book to an ex-boyfriend after the breakup...

This was in the original cookbook. It is made in a cast iron skillet. Really good, but my cookbook is not here. Can anyone give me the recipe? Thanks
