Fifty recipes in Larkin's collection. Here are three.
Risotto on a weeknight isn't as ambitious as it sounds. Yes, it requires attention — stirring, adding broth slowly — but that's part of its appeal. This is cooking as meditation. The mushrooms here bring an earthy depth, almost meaty, grounding the creaminess of the rice. This is the kind of meal that asks you to slow down, and rewards you for it.
Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large, wide pan over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms in a single layer (work in batches if needed). Let them cook undisturbed for 3-4 minutes until golden brown on one side, then stir and cook another 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, then transfer to a bowl.
In the same pan, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the onion and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add the Arborio rice and stir to coat in the oil. Let it toast for 2 minutes until the edges become slightly translucent. This step builds flavor — don't skip it.
Pour in the white wine and stir until it's mostly absorbed. Now begin adding the warm broth, one ladleful at a time. Stir frequently and wait until each addition is mostly absorbed before adding the next.
This process takes about 25-30 minutes. You'll find a rhythm here — stir, wait, add, stir. Let your mind settle into it.
When the rice is tender but still has a slight bite, remove from heat. Stir in the butter, Parmesan, thyme, and the cooked mushrooms. The risotto should flow on the plate, not sit in a mound. Divide among shallow bowls. Finish with fresh parsley and extra Parmesan.
This is comfort — earthy, creamy, deeply satisfying.
Thyme's botanical name, Thymus, comes from the Greek word for courage. Ancient Romans bathed in thyme water before battle. Today, it's known for supporting respiratory health and bringing calm. In this risotto, it adds a subtle earthiness that complements the mushrooms beautifully.
Risotto is one of cooking's great meditations. The stirring, the waiting, the slow transformation of rice into something creamy and luxurious — this is presence in motion. Let yourself settle into the rhythm. There's nowhere to rush to.
Salmon on a Tuesday — elegant enough for guests, simple enough for a weeknight. The kind of meal that makes you feel like you have your life together, even if the rest of the day suggests otherwise. The brown butter here is key: it's nutty, rich, and transforms something ordinary into something worth slowing down for.

For the asparagus
Preheat oven to 425°F. Toss asparagus with olive oil, salt, and pepper on a baking sheet. Roast for 12-15 minutes until tender and slightly charred.
While the asparagus roasts, pat the salmon fillets dry and season with salt and pepper on both sides. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place salmon skin-side down and press gently with a spatula for 30 seconds to ensure even contact. Cook undisturbed for 4-5 minutes until the skin is crispy.
Flip carefully and cook for another 2-3 minutes. The salmon should be opaque on the outside but still slightly translucent in the center. Remove to a plate and tent with foil.
In the same skillet (no need to wipe it clean), melt the butter over medium heat. Let it foam and cook, swirling occasionally, until it turns golden brown and smells nutty — about 3-4 minutes.
Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Remove from heat and stir in lemon juice, capers, and parsley.
Place the salmon on plates alongside the asparagus. Spoon the brown butter generously over the fish.
Take a breath. This is nourishment made visible.
Brown butter is one of cooking's small miracles — ordinary butter transformed by heat into something deeply nutty and rich. The French call it beurre noisette (hazelnut butter) for its toasted, almost sweet flavor. It's worth the few extra minutes.
As the butter browns, stay present. Watch it shift from yellow to golden to amber. This is cooking as attention — not rushing, just noticing.
Pork chops with apples and sage — it's a classic pairing for a reason. The sweetness of the apples balances the richness of the pork, and the sage brings everything together with its earthy, slightly peppery warmth. This is autumn on a plate, but it works year-round when you need something comforting and quick.

For the apples
Pat the pork chops dry and season both sides generously with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook undisturbed for 4-5 minutes until deeply golden on the bottom. Flip and cook another 4-5 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 145°F. Transfer to a plate and tent with foil to rest.
In the same skillet (don't wipe it out — those browned bits are flavor), reduce heat to medium and add the butter. Once melted, add the apple slices in a single layer. Cook for 3-4 minutes on one side until golden, then flip and cook another 2-3 minutes.
Add the sage leaves and let them crisp in the butter for 30 seconds. The sage will become fragrant and slightly darker.
Add the apple cider vinegar, honey, and a pinch of salt. Stir to combine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let it bubble for 1-2 minutes until slightly thickened.
Return the pork chops to the skillet along with any resting juices. Spoon the apples and sauce over the top. Serve immediately.
This is dinner — sweet, savory, grounding.
Sage's Latin name, Salvia, means "to save" or "to heal." It's been used for centuries to support digestion, memory, and clarity. When fried in butter, sage becomes crispy and intensely aromatic — one of cooking's small pleasures. This is the kind of ingredient that transforms a dish from good to memorable.
As you slice the apples, notice their color — some green, some red, some mottled with both. As they cook, watch them soften and caramelize. This is where attention becomes nourishment.

Your Documents. Your Google Drive.
