hi friends — i’ve received a flurry of emails and texts this week from friends asking for recipe recommendations. i’ve decided to compile my answers together here.

Kindred’s Milk Bread
below you can find a running list of recipes that will bring you some comfort during this uneasy time. with most of the recipes below, i’ve either made them myself or had them recommended to me by friends. many come from this blog of mine (foodstuffs!), nyt cooking, bon appetit, and food52, where i spend most of my recipe searching time.

Dark Chocolate Chip Cookies
i am hoping to update this list frequently over the next couple of weeks, so please feel free to leave a comment with one (or many!) of your favorite recipes. i’ll go ahead and add them to the list with my next update.
