A Brownie Made With Olive Oil

Jim Lahey, the chef and owner of Sullivan Street Bakery, spent several months perfecting his new brownie. It’s moist and seriously intense — more caky than fudgy. He said the treat is inspired by recipe from his “brownie muse,” Faith Heller Willinger, a food writer who lives in Florence, Italy. Because Lahey makes the brownies with olive oil, not butter, they’re ideal for Hanukkah, the oil-soaked celebration that begins Dec. 2.
