An Interview with Emma Christensen About Her New Book: True Brews

Faith Durand — Tue, 21 May 2013 13:00:00 -0400

This is a very exciting spring for books here at The Kitchn! A couple weeks ago we told you about my new book, Bakeless Sweets, and this week we're turning the spotlight to another book from our team: True Brews, by Emma Christensen, our very own recipe editor. Emma has written about beer for The Kitchn for many years, and she has become a knowledgeable expert in brewing it as well — and her new book shows you how you can make it for yourself. But she doesn't stop at beer — wine, kefir, kombucha, and fizzy sodas show up in True Brews too!

Today we have an interview with Emma, talking about her new book. Come read all about brewing in small apartments with minimum equipment, the most surprising things she learned while writing the book, and the most refreshing drink for summer!

My husband Mike brought many valuable qualities to our partnership: He's kind, charming, smart, and has good taste in books. He loves good food, and makes me coffee every single morning. And somewhere among the upper pantheon of his stellar attributes is also this: He can wrap a burrito so that you can eat it all the way down to the very nub, without it falling apart in your hands. Want to see how he does it?

Happy weekend, everybody! What's cooking in your kitchen? I'm getting ready for a trip to London (so excited to explore the food scene there) and next week I'll be bringing you some snapshots and eye candy from a trade show full of glossy European kitchens and appliances. Meanwhile, it's the weekend, and it's time to luxuriate in our own home kitchens. What's happening there for you? What's on the menu, this fine spring weekend?

Lunch Recipe: Fried Brown Rice with Asparagus, Bell Pepper & Cashews — Recipes from The Kitchn

Faith Durand — Thu, 16 May 2013 13:00:00 -0400

Last year my friend Grace Young gave me what turned out to be the most useful gift of 2012: a wok, and a lesson in using it. We shared some in-depth cooking lessons from Grace last year, like how to buy and season a wok, and how to stir fry chicken . I've fallen in love with my wok, and I use it weekly to cook vegetables and supper dishes. So it was the first thing that came to mind when I saw reader requests this week for fresh recipes for lunches.

Here's a non-Chinese twist on the stir fry that you can make in your wok or in a big sauté pan, with brown rice, snappy asparagus, and flavors of lemon and cashew. It's been my go-to dinner (and lunch) this week!
