Your Monday Lunch Break Reading List

Busy weekend? Here's what you may have missed on our site.

Saturday:

• Not only did we find a whole stack of last year's Piglet Champion, Fancy Desserts by Brooks Headley, that we had tucked away, but we also discovered Brooks had sneakily and goofily inscribed each one.
• And we introduced you to Danielle Oron, the blogger behind I Will Not Eat Oysters (and recent contest winner!).

Sunday:

• Lindsey-Jean told us a whole new waste-free way to think about asparagus.
• And Posie had us dreaming of chocolate cake even more than usual.

Monday:

• We learned how to turn any greens into a soup and celebrated pretty early in the morning for a Monday.
• Andie Mitchell, author of the newly-released cookbook Eating in the Middle, brought egg salad to breakfast, and we wondered why we hadn’t thought to do that before now.
• Leslie shared the sharpest tips we learned when Bob Kramer, a master bladesmith, came to our office.
• And tahini continued to take over.

Tuesday:

• We shared the 10 finalists from our Your Best 20-Minute Freestyle Dinner (not)contest over on our app, and asked for your help to choose a winner! (And there's still time to vote!)
• Amanda Sims told us about the craft supply to launch 1000 possible DIY projects we can’t wait to take on.
• We learned that refreezing thawed food is possible (really!!).
• And Riddley Gemperlein-Schirm assigned us all some sourdough reading.

Wednesday:

• It turns out that Genius hashbrowns are easier than we ever could have imagined.
• And some of our app users showed us a few creative ways to eat our leftovers in ways that make us actually want to.
• We finally figured out the best way to make one of the most popular Indian dishes in the U.S.: palak paneer.
• And told you why you should mix your iced coffee with lemonade—seriously!

Thursday:

• With Passover on the way, we looked to Chef Alon Shaya for a matzo brei recipe that’s nothing like your Bubbie’s.
• And our own test kitchen chef Josh Cohen used some very imprecise recipes to turn some of his strongest Passover memories into a celebratory feast.
• We also told you our favorite way to fill in the blanks.
• And celebrated National Poetry Month (!!!) with haiku that detail what poets ate (and eat!).

Friday:

• We wondered what Questlove’s new look-but-not-cook book is really about.
• And learned to twist and shout with some sweet dough basics.
• We also recommended that you ditch the spa and make your own fancy bath soak.
• And then told you to go get off the computer and celebrate finer weather coming our way with a speedy spring dinner that's picnic-ready in a flash!
