Recipes, cooking tips, and everything food related by Stephanie Longstreth
This fall Costco haul is the one where the season officially showed up in my cart. My sound went cuckoo on the video and did not pick up a thing, so I narrated the whole trip afterward — but the cart is the cart, and it tells on me. Pecans for baking. Heavy cream for…
The hill I will die on pumpkin is one I plant a flag on the first cool morning of September, with a candle already lit and a cup of coffee going cold beside me: pumpkin earns every single bit of its season. Pumpkin bread. Pumpkin muffins. Pumpkin pie. Pumpkin cheesecake. And my very favorite thing…
This fall brunch menu feeds eight to twelve people, and almost none of it happens the morning of. It is one of the six menus from the cookbook I am writing right now — Brunches, Luncheons & Tea Parties — and I wanted to hand you a whole one, not a teaser. The menu, the…
My mama gave me this marble rolling pin over thirty years ago, and it is the only one I have ever needed. It has rolled out more pie crust and more biscuit dough than I could begin to count, and it still looks exactly the way it did the day she handed it to me….

Chicken recipes for a crowd are the ones I lean on hardest, and I think it is because chicken never argues with anybody. It stretches, it takes whatever seasoning you put on it, and it is the one protein I can put in front of a table of twelve without somebody quietly not eating. These…
The hill I will die on pork is one I have been quietly astonished by my entire adult life: ham, bacon, pork chops, sausage, BBQ pulled pork, and ribs all come from the SAME animal. Say that out loud and really hear it. Six completely different foods. Six different aisles of the grocery store. Six…
