I’ve to inform you the reality: I didn’t need to write you about rooster this week. (No offense to the rooster under, which is nice.) I wished to write down to you about desserts, as a result of earlier this week we printed “24 Brilliant Baking Recipes to Change Your Kitchen Game,” and since in the midst of February, I discover it extra enthralling to consider cake than weeknight cooking. However my boss, Sam Sifton, beat me to it in his newsletter today. So I’ll simply say you need to have a look at this particular cake, which is named the World’s Finest Chocolate Cake for cause. There’s additionally a whole-lemon tart, Earl Grey sugar cookies, peanut butter miso cookies — the checklist goes on. They’ll all be in print in Sunday’s New York Instances.
However we have to eat dinner, and I’ve truly been cooking a ton these days. Let me know what you’re making, or what you’d prefer to see in coming newsletters: dearemily@nytimes.com. (And I promise I’ll do a dessert version quickly.)
1. Pasta With Feta and Green Olives
Final week, I purchased a big amount of Castelvetrano olives to make martinis, and I’ll use the leftovers on this boldly flavored pasta dish from Yasmin Fahr. (I think about this normally occurs in reverse: pasta first, then martinis.) The olives are blistered in olive oil, then tossed with the pasta and feta for a really quick dinner.
