Ask Lauren
You are absolutely darling with Julia Child! I love how you made the bread. I’m sorry to see you don’t have any recipes for regular white or wheat bread on your website. Am I missing it?

Can you give me some helpful hints for making perfect scones?
Can you please help me to get my kids “unhooked” from fast-food chicken nuggets?

Do you have any suggestions for cooking with plum wine?
Help! I’m just about to throw out my old cast iron skillet because it’s just so hard to clean!
Help, I’m overloaded with fresh blueberries!
Hoping you can help me to learn how to grill meats so they get really dark and savory-tasting on the outside, while the inside stays “just right.”
I read recipes that ask for breadcrumbs called “Panko” and I’m not sure if they’re interchangeable with the ones I use (the regular supermarket crumbs). Any ideas?
I want to surprise my husband with a homemade batch of a delicious creamy coleslaw, which is his favorite kind.
I’d like to make more sit-down dinners at home with my kids but I’m new at this. Can you give me a recipe that’s a favorite of your children?
I’m a single father who’s looking for “cooking guidance” for my 10-year-old daughter whose gaining weight. Can you help?
I’m a working mother and my daughter Mimi just soaks up the attention during a meal. Can you help me to “feel” more able to provide my family with more of that as she grows?
I’m new at bread-baking-can you give me some advice on some of the steps involved, like “punching down the dough?”
I’m single, have two kids, two jobs and I’m not home often (and when I am home, I’m exhausted). How can I make the time when I AM home feel more nurturing (for all of us)?
I’m so bored with “winter foods” and would love a great-tasting, “main-dish” salad. Any ideas?
I’ve been making corn on the cob the same way for years. I’d love to know another way to season the corn, other than just butter and salt.
I’ve seen you on TV with Julia Child and I’m dying to try your pumpernickel bread. Can I have the recipe?
Is there an easy and substantial “meaty-feeling” vegetarian entrée that you could suggest?
My family doesn’t like to eat corn off the cob. Any recipe suggestions?
My recipe calls for chicken fat. Can I purchase this in a grocery store?
Since my childhood, my favorite soup has always been split pea soup with ham, made for me by my grandmother. Can you help me to replicate that great taste and texture?
Would you happen to have a recipe for banana bread that my family will love?
Can you eat dried mushrooms after reconstituting, without cooking them further, and are fresh, uncooked mushrooms safe to eat?
