In season: Peas, Ramps, Asparagus andโฆPeeps! No shortage of ways to use โem up on the Interweb: Peep Sโmores, Peep Sunflower Cake, Peep-Wreaths, Peep-infused Vodka. (Yes, it exists, but some things are just too weird to link to.)
Easter Main Option 1: Andyโs super-easy Apricot-glazed Hamย (and my super-easy day-after-ham split pea soup)
Easter Main Option 2: Slow-cooked Lamb with Lemon and Oregano
Francois Payardโsย Chocolate-Walnut Flourless Cookies (Thanksย Jodi!)
Kosher for Passover: Cult Foods
If there was a single dish that could capture my religious background, it would probably beย Bacon Matzoh-Brei.
Next weekโs vacation reading: Delancey and Creativity Inc
Next weekโs vacation eating: Two Boroughs Larderย (if I can get a table!)
Vegetarian Cookbooks for Carnivoresย (ok fine, not holiday, per se, but springโฆvegetablesโฆclose enough)
My sisterโs go-to brisket
My momโs go-to brisket
Got some long school-less days ahead of you next week? This should help occupy the kids.
Turn those leftoverย Easter Eggs into Dinner.
Whatever feast you are cooking next week, wouldnโt you look great wearing thisย around the kitchen?
Have a great holiday!

Hey, Iโll be in Charleston for the week, too! Folly Beach. Hoping to try out Rutledge Cab Co. (Southern Living pick). Have fun!
I just wanted to let you know that I finished your book last night after my sisterโs friend told me she had read it cover to cover in one sitting. Thank you for writing the book I needed but didnโt know I needed if that makes any sense and also thank you in advance for that pork ragu which I will be making pronto. ๐
I think you just gave me my brisket recipe for this Passover. Iโll let you know which (momโs or sisโs) I choose. Also definitely making the Payard cookies. Happy spring hols!
Two Boroughs Larder caught my eye on your list. Iโm a NJ transplant to Charleston, been here 1yr+ now. My canโt misses: Butcher&Bee, Brownโs Court Bakery, Savannah Bee Honey Company- all downtown. If you make it out of downtown and up to North Charleston try: Orange Spot Cafe, EVO Pizza and Mixson Market/Basico.
TBL doesnโt take reservations ๐ but if you make it there you must eat a slice of oatmeal / brown sugar pie.
But while youโre in town you should DEFINITELY hit up this new spot called Hardeeโs, super avant garde, lotta foam, 25-course tasting menu, etc.
My top 5: Butcher & Bee, Dellโz Uptown, Xiao Bao Biscuit, The Grocery, Caviar & Bananas
+1 to Mixson Market and Brownโs Court too. Collective Coffee Co also deserves an honorable mention for off-peninsula breakfast, lunch, & coffee.
