INT R O D U C T I O N Practically overnight, the COVID-19 pandemic changed our lives. We’ve packed up our offices and started to work from home, hoping that the center of the WiFi infrastructure will hold. Newly adept at social distancing, we’ve hosted virtual Passover seders and Easter lunches. We’ve picked up new skills—who knew those of us who can’t even sew a button would be making our own masks?—and new language (“Let’s Zoom over a quarantini!”). And, like it or not, we’ve all become pretty competent home cooks. Over the past four weeks, I’ve been reminded, thanks to Instagram, that necessity is the mother of invention. As I marveled at friends’ photos of crusty Dutch-oven bread, three-ingredient chocolate, and pasta primavera created from leftovers, I was inspired to push myself a little further in the kitchen. I experimented, sometimes successfully and sometimes not, with net results that were as much distraction as dinner—and we’ve all learned that both are necessary at times like these. As my friend Christine DiRocco put it when she sent me her recipe for Mom’s Apple Crisp (page 46), “I find it funny that I’m mapping out menus for the week. It keeps me busy, and it’s so nice to have lovely, made-from-scratch dinners. It’s so old school and so very welcome right now.” It’s so true. A home-cooked meal is a simple pleasure, but it’s also an act of love, particularly when it’s shared. Who hasn’t been consoled by a chocolate chip cookie and warm milk after a bad day, or cheered by the smell of a Thanksgiving turkey roasting in the oven? It’s natural, then, that we turn to food during life’s stressful moments. It’s what we know and can count on, the comfort we seek when the world goes haywire. Since we can’t have a hug during quarantine, parmesan truffle fries are the next best thing. This recipe book was founded on this principle. It started on a whim, with a single recipe—my favorite glutenfree almond-cranberry muffins (page 44)—and a call to the Instagram community to post easy-ish, nutritious, pantry-forward, and, yes, improvised recipes to get us all through this. I volunteered to aggregate the contributions and share with the community, because couldn’t we all use a few more ideas for what to make for dinner? As more and more recipes came in, it became a labor of love, and I am indebted to my staff for stepping in to help with enthusiasm. The product you’re reading is the result of teamwork by talented people who seem to have an endless capacity for creativity. Be assured, friends: We’ll go out to dinner again. We’ll watch chefs work in their exhibition kitchens, we’ll clink glasses with friends, we’ll even welcome the din we sometimes have to shout over. And we will appreciate, more than ever, every exquisite bite that someone else prepares for us. Until then, I hope you’ll find joy in your own cooking and inspiration in #QuarantineCuisine. In health and gratitude,

METHOD • Preheat broiler on high. Place pepper halves, skin side down on a foil-lined baking sheet. Flatten and broil until blackened, about 12 minutes. Place peppers in a paper bag, fold closed, and allow to stand for 10 minutes. Peel and finely chop peppers and transfer pieces to a large mixing bowl. • Reduce oven temperature to 350° F. • Set out a baking sheet, and a 9-inch-by-5-inch loaf pan coated with cooking spray. Working in batches, place the mushrooms in a food processor and pulse until finely chopped. • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil to the pan, and swirl to coat the pan. Add mushrooms and sauté until liquid evaporates, stirring occasionally, about 15 minutes. Add mushrooms to bell peppers and combine. • Place asparagus and onions in the same pan used to cook the mushrooms. Sauté until tender, stirring occasionally, about 6 minutes. Add asparagus and onions to mushrooms and peppers. Stir to combine. • Arrange the breadcrumbs in an even layer on the baking sheet, bake until golden, about 10 minutes. Add breadcrumbs, walnuts, chopped fresh basil, ketchup, mustard, salt, pepper, cheese, and eggs to the mushroom mixture. Stir well to combine ingredients. When combined, spoon the mixture into the prepared loaf pan. Press lightly to pack and bake for 45 minutes, or until the thermometer registers 155° F. • In a small mixing bowl, combine the topping ingredients. Brush the mixture over the meat loaf and bake an additional 10 minutes. Allow to stand 10 minutes before slicing. Cut into 6 slices.

@FARMERSTABLEEXPRESS METHOD
• Rub the Salmon with olive oil and season. Grill on both sides for about 3-4 minutes or until you reach your desired temperature. • Blanch your asparagus in a rapidly boiling, seasoned water for 1-3 minutes, depending on thickness. Remove from boiling water and immediately submerge in ice water. This way the asparagus will stay bright green. The asparagus can be easily reheated in a pan with a little olive oil. • In a medium pot over medium high heat, sauté the onions and garlic in the olive oil until translucent. Add the turmeric and bloom for about 15-20 seconds. Add the vegetable broth, bring to a simmer, and add the quinoa. Season with salt to taste. • Stir the quinoa frequently until it comes to a simmer. Turn heat on low and cover with a lid. Cook for about 5 minutes, turn off the heat completely, keep covered, and let it steam for another 8-10 minutes. Fluff the quinoa and finish with parsley before serving.

Add the pineapple, sweet corn, and peas and stir-fry for approximately 3 minutes until the pineapple juices have evaporated. • Add the rice and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until the rice is warmed through. Turn off the heat and mix in the remaining ingredients. • Feel free to get creative with additional ingredients. Other suggestions include diced ham, diced chicken breast, lump crab, bacon, etc.
FRIED RICE TIPS • USE COLD RICE. THIS WAY THE RICE WILL NOT STICK TO^ GETHER (LEFTOVER RICE IS PERFECT). YOU CAN EVEN GO AHEAD AND FREEZE YOUR RICE AHEAD OF TIME AND REMOVE FOR EASY USE. • MAKE SURE YOU SEPARATE THE RICE GRAINS. THEY TEND TO CLUMP UP AND YOU WON’T ACHIEVE THE PERFECT DESIRED RESULT OTHERWISE. WORK THE RICE WITH YOUR HANDS IN A BOWL—AFTER YOU WASH YOUR HANDS THOROUGHLY, OF COURSE. • BE PREPARED. FRIED RICE COOKS VERY QUICKLY, SO HAVE ALL YOUR INGREDI^ ENTS READY TO GO BEFORE YOU BEGIN COOKING.

COURTESY OF THE REGIONAL
INGREDIENTS
1/2 CUP LONG-GRAIN RICE UNCOOKED (BULGUR IS ANOTHER OPTION)
3 TBSP. OLIVE OIL, DIVIDED 4 OZ. FETA CHEESE, CRUMBLED (OPTIONAL) KOSHER SALT TO TASTE FRESHLY GROUND PEPPER TO TASTE
METHOD • With a sharp paring knife, cut out the tops of the tomatoes as you would a jack-o’-lantern, leaving them intact so that you can replace them when you bake the tomatoes. Cut away the woody core and reserve the tops. Using a small spoon, scoop out the insides of the tomatoes. Finely chop the pulp. Season the tomato shells with salt and place them upside down on a rack set on a baking sheet and let drain while you prepare the remaining ingredients. • Toss the shredded zucchini with a generous amount of salt and let drain in a colander for 10 minutes. Take handfuls of zucchini and squeeze out as much liquid as possible. Transfer to a bowl with the tomato pulp. Add the garlic, mint, and rice. Season generously with salt and pepper. Stir in 2 tbsp.. of the olive oil and let sit for 20 minutes. Mix in the crumbled feta if desired. • Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350° F. Oil a baking dish large enough to fit all of the tomatoes. Fill the tomatoes almost to the top with the stuffing and replace the caps. Place in the oiled baking dish. Drizzle on the remaining oil. Place in the oven and bake 30 minutes until the tomatoes are almost collapsing. Remove from the heat and allow to cool to room temperature or serve hot.

#QUARANTINECUISINE
METHOD • Heat olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-low heat. Add minced onion and cook, stirring, until soft, about 4 minutes. Add garlic and cook, stirring, for 2-4 minutes until golden brown. Increase heat to medium, add pureed tomatoes, and season lightly with kosher salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens slightly and the flavors meld, about 1520 minutes. Remove pan from heat, add basil, and set aside. • Meanwhile, bring water to a boil in a 5-quart pot and season with salt. Add spaghetti and cook, stirring occasionally, until about 2 minutes before tender. Check the cooking time on the pasta box; usually spaghetti takes 7-8 minutes for al dente. Once cooked, drain pasta, reserving 1/2 cup pasta-cooking water. • Heat skillet over high heat. Stir in reserved pasta water to loosen sauce and bring to a boil. Add pasta and cook, stirring, until sauce coats pasta, about 2 minutes. Remove pan from heat. Add cheese and toss until it melts. Transfer to warm bowls and serve with more cheese and basil, if desired.
