When the weather turns chilly, nothing warms the soul like a rich and hearty tomato sauce. This Bone Marrow Tomato Sauce is an unctuous, velvety recipe perfect for cozy winter days. Infused with the depth of roasted bone marrow and the brightness of quality tomatoes, it’s a versatile sauce you’ll turn to again and again. Whether served over veal parmesan, spooned onto cheese ravioli, or used as the base for a luxurious ragu or vodka sauce, this recipe will elevate any dish it accompanies.

While I recommend using high-quality tomatoes for the best flavor—like Hunt’s boxed tomato sauces or Italian market brands—you can still achieve incredible results with budget-friendly options. The addition of bone marrow takes this sauce to another level, adding richness, depth, and authentic Italian ragu vibes. Buon appetito!

Soft, pillowy, and irresistibly chewy, naan is the perfect companion to curries, dips, and grilled meats. Originating from Central and South Asia, with influences from the Middle East, naan has become a beloved staple in kitchens around the world. Interestingly, the word "naan" itself means bread, so calling it "naan bread" is a bit redundant — much like saying "chai tea" or "table mesa."

I absolutely love a good charcuterie board – and honestly, who doesn’t? There’s always something for everyone. One of my favorite additions to a spread is a non-dairy cheese option, and goat cheese fits the bill perfectly. I’m especially fond of Le Cendrillon™, an ash-covered, soft-ripened goat cheese. Drizzled with local honey and paired with a crisp cracker (sometimes even one made from my own sourdough discard, speckled with sesame seeds and herbs), it's an elegant and flavorful bite.

Spelt, an ancient grain known for its rich, nutty flavor and nutritional benefits, takes these brownies to the next level—dense, moist, and deeply chocolatey. The combination of silky ganache and fresh summer strawberries adds a burst of sweetness that perfectly complements the earthy tones of the spelt.
