I'm the author of five cookbooks including the bestselling Baby-Led Feeding and the time-saving, stress-reducing Bare Minimum Dinners. I am the food director at Real Simple and, previously, was the food editor at Parents and Health.

I love to cook, bake, and eat, and am a giant cookbook fan. I also love to read fiction and am a particular fan of literary fiction and mystery novels. I live in Brooklyn, New York with my family.

Built up to something quite moving at the end...although maybe it took a little too long to get there.

“Kimchi and Pineapple Fried Rice Makes 4 servings Store-bought baked tofu is a terrific shortcut in place of pressing and baking your own. Either plain or teriyaki varieties work well here. If you want to veg this up more, add a cup of sliced cabbage before the rice. 2 tablespoons canola or other neutral oil 4 cups cold cooked rice 1 cup chopped kimchi 7 ounces baked tofu, cut into 1 × ½-inch slabs 3 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari 1 cup chopped pineapple (small pieces) ¾ cup chopped cashews Dress It Up Chopped cilantro, chopped scallions 1. Heat the oil in a very large nonstick or cast-iron pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add the rice and cook, stirring frequently, until beginning to crisp up, about 3 minutes. 2. Add the kimchi and tofu; stir and cook for 1 minute. Add the soy sauce; stir and cook for another minute. Stir in the pineapple and cashews and cook until warmed through. Serve topped with the cilantro and/or scallions, if using. Make It Meaty Omit the oil and cook 4 slices of bacon (or 4 ounces finely chopped pancetta) in the pan in step 1. Transfer the bacon to a paper towel–lined plate. Cook the rice in the bacon fat, then crumble the bacon and stir it in with the pineapple in step 2. Or, if you’re serving both vegetarians and meat eaters, prepare the recipe as directed and cook the bacon or pancetta in a separate pan. Top the omnivores’ portions with the meat.”
