our cobbler fetish

For Sunday night supper last weekend, we whipped up this super-simple blueberry cobbler based on a recipe by New Orleans-based chef/restaurateur John Besh, whose cookbook My Family Table is out this month.

“The tradition of the Sunday feast accomplishes more than just feeding us,” Besh says. “It nurtures us.”

Thank you and Amen.
