A party to comfort and to celebrate.

Who says steak and potatoes have to be boring? 

Tonight's dinner is a celebration of warmer weather, spring vegetables, and simply good food.

Maybe it happened in the elevator. Or the coffee shop.

The steaks are nigh and the stakes are high. This week, take the pressure off by preparing a steakhouse-worthy meal at home.

We're sitting down with our favorite writers and cooks to talk about their upcoming cookbooks, their best food memories, and just about anything else.

Today: We chat with our beloved Piglet co-founder Charlotte Druckman about her fantastic new book on women in the restaurant world, Skirt Steak: Women Chefs on Standing the Heat and Staying in the Kitchen.

This is the eighteenth installment of Sunday Dinners, a biweekly column from our own Tom Hirschfeld featuring his gorgeous photography, stunning Indiana farm, and mouthwatering family meals.

Today: Tom shares his life lessons in cooking the perfect steak (hint: butter is the key), with recipes for Pan-seared Porterhouse Steaks with Maitre d' Butter, Long-Cooked Romano Beans with Pancetta, and Jamie Oliver's Genius Smoked Beets.
