    Lemon-Parsley Gougeres
    Savory puffs of dough are stuffed with Gruyere cheese for an impressive party snack.

    I am looking at this recipe at 1:23 AM and I don’t know if I am so tired that I can’t find where the cheese is mentioned in the recipe. Please help!

    I just noticed that in the show, what is said is 1/2 cup of Worcestershire but I suspect it was 1/2 teaspoon.

  • The salad dressing Lucinda’s mother Rose made every night got two million views on TikTok. A lettuce recall, a pair of measuring spoons, and a damn good dressing. Recipe included.
  • Our prior dog had passed. We weren’t sure we wanted another. Then a cinnamon-colored puppy named Lychee was the last one left at the Cape Ann Animal Shelter.
  • Every tool we make has to do more than one job. Lucinda on where that rule came from, the Super Spoon, and a 100-year-old potato masher called a Beetle.
  • A dish from Al Forno in Providence that Lucinda never forgot, and finally made from memory twenty years later: creamy double corn polenta with a crater of tomatoes on top.
