Spring Break • If your ideal vacation involves lazy afternoons cooking Alison Roman’s lamb with minty artichokes or a couple of roast chickens for all-day noshing, an endless supply of wine on ice, and so many naps, you’re our kind of spring breakers
Vacation and the Livin’ Is Easy • Vacation cooking means making use of a rental-house kitchen that likely has a dusty bottle of bad red wine vinegar… and not much else.
