Whenever I go visit my parents’ house, there’s a 50/50 chance my mom is watching Beat Bobby Flay. It’s either that or Guy’s Grocery Games. Recently, Bobby has been taking the lead, though. I can’t imagine the pressure of being on a show where the sole goal is to out-chef you. That’s a lot of pressure. And that means you’ve got to have some great skills and even tricks up your sleeve. Especially since Flay has proven he’s got plenty. READ MORE... from Kitchn | Inspiring cooks, nourishing homes https://ift.tt/KAe6D2i

Pizza and pot roast, in my opinion, actually have a lot in common. Both meals are extra-delicious and extra-comforting. I’d also be remiss not to mention that the leftovers are just as tasty. (Anyone who saves a slice of pizza for breakfast the next day can attest to that.) Before you claim that Italian sausage and pepperoni are the only meats worth pairing with pizza, meet steak pizzaiola, a classic Neapolitan dish of pizza sauce-simmered steak.

I love all the pasta dishes Rome is known for: Pasta all’Amatriciana, Pasta alla Gricia, Pasta Carbonara, and Cacio e Pepe. My favorites are the latter two, but I don’t love to make them. You have to get the heat just right for the cheese to melt perfectly and emulsify with the pasta for the perfect creamy, silky sauce. Another issue I have with these delicious dishes is that you really can’t reheat them easily. That texture is a one-and-done situation.

Brown sugar and cinnamon are an excellent fall flavor pairing in everything from cakes and cookies to pastries. These brown sugar shortbread bars bring that classic combination to the table with a tender, buttery cookie base, a brown sugar filling, and a cinnamon icing to top it all off.In this recipe, you’ll prep just one dough, which is divided to use for both the base and the topping. In between, layer a mixture of melted butter, brown sugar, maple syrup, and ground cinnamon. READ MORE... from Kitchn | Inspiring cooks, nourishing homes https://ift.tt/hCmyJHv

Brownies are a classic dessert, and one of my favorites. But despite how simple they seem, they can be difficult to get just right. A good brownie has chewy edges; a shiny, crackly top; and a delectably fudgy center with a rich, chocolaty taste. (I’m personally all for those corner pieces to get the ultimate textural experience.)But how can you ensure you’ll get the fudgiest brownies every time?

My family often ate lunch at Cantonese restaurants on the weekend, and we’d usually skip ordering rice in favor of noodle dishes. We rotated through beef chow fun, chow mein, rice noodle rolls, and, once in a while, a curried rice noodle stir-fry called Singapore noodles.This dish was created by Cantonese chefs in Hong Kong (it’s unclear why Singapore is in the name) to use the curry powder that came with British colonial trade.

Baking season is upon us, and that means we’re gearing up to make all kinds of Halloween treats, Thanksgiving pies, and holiday cookies. Whether you’re a practiced baker or a novice, one thing is true across the board: Exceptional baking requires a combination of precise technique and good equipment. Just like high-quality flour or vanilla extract can make a cake extra-special, so can a really great cake pan. READ MORE... from Kitchn | Inspiring cooks, nourishing homes https://ift.tt/H0KypkA

Halloween might not be here yet, but I’m already thinking about the holidays. When I can get a jump on gift shopping, I absolutely will. And Fishwife is giving me serious inspo right now. Earlier this month, Fishwife brought back its Tuna Belly — and it’s a perfect gift for someone who loves tinned fish. And bonus: It’s under $100.

Chocolate desserts have always been my absolute favorite — so when it comes down to choosing between chocolate and pretty much anything else, chocolate wins every single time. And this double chocolate éclair cake is my new go-to. It’s an icebox cake through and through, meaning there’s no oven involved at all.

Editor’s Note: If you’ve cooked this beloved recipe before, it might look a little different these days! We start cooking the apple filling on the stovetop first so they let off some juices and soften slightly, and the cobbler topping is super-easy to whisk together. We recently improved it to make it even easier to follow and more delicious.When fall and apple season hits, I try to make as many of my favorite apple desserts as I can.

Good lighting can make such a difference — especially in the kitchen. While I have overhead lighting and a (fairly dim) light above my stove, I wanted more brightness for my counters specifically. That’s when I began my quest to find great under-cabinet lighting. Here was my criteria: It needs an adhesive mounting (I’m not interested in breaking out a drill or screwdriver for this).

When I was growing up in a Mexican household, I always looked forward to caldo de res on our Sunday supper table. Whether it was my mom or my Mama Nena making it, I knew we were in for something special. This hearty Mexican beef soup is filled with tender bone beef shanks, plenty of vegetables, and a rich savory broth that’s comforting, flavorful, and incredibly satisfying. It’s the kind of meal that brings everyone to the table, especially on a chilly day. READ MORE... from Kitchn | Inspiring cooks, nourishing homes https://ift.tt/Kpl9Sib

Call me basic, but when fall rolls around I’m ready to welcome in all things pumpkin with open arms. Pumpkin spice lattes, creamy pumpkin pasta, pumpkin cream cheese muffins … there are ways to incorporate the autumn gourd into every meal of the day. One delicious pumpkin-flavored treat I make at least once per season (and, in my opinion, is totally acceptable to eat any time of day), is pumpkin bread.

It’s hard to pin down exactly what groceries makes Costco the best. The $1.50 hot dogs are a real draw, but so are the deals on bulk groceries across its sprawling freezer, pantry, and deli sections. In fact, I’ve had Costco birthday cakes for more years than I can count. I also always make sure I have enough time to go to the Costco food court and grab a little sweet dessert with my hot dog. (The chocolate chip cookies are great. READ MORE... from Kitchn | Inspiring cooks, nourishing homes https://ift.tt/Ju0AIUP

Pasta is one of my favorite foods, and what really makes it is the sauce. A good sauce can often require simmering the ingredients for hours until all the flavors have melded. But sometimes we don’t have time for that. So when we need something simple, quick, and easy to grab, jarred sauces can be a kitchen hero. I’ve tried many on the market, but was curious to learn which ones professional chefs give the stamp of approval. READ MORE... from Kitchn | Inspiring cooks, nourishing homes https://ift.tt/9PT5JMz

As a working mom of two, I love a breakfast that feels special without requiring me to spend all morning in the kitchen. This baked apple cinnamon French toast is everything I want in a cozy breakfast: buttery, custardy, sweet, and filled with warm spiced apples. It has all the flavors of a homemade apple pie, but in the form of a comforting breakfast casserole. And because the bread soaks overnight, most of the work is done before you even turn on the oven.

I moved into my first New York City apartment almost a year ago. She’s small but she’s mighty, and my roommates and I have recently decided to renew our lease.

I have been following Violet Witchel, creator of the viral TikTok “dense bean salad” trend, for years. I remember when she graduated from culinary school, something I toy with doing one day. I’m currently watching her journey to receive a 10/10 from @ratemychives on TikTok for perfectly sliced chives (her high score is a 7.3 right now). And of course I remember the origins of her dense bean salad series years ago. READ MORE... from Kitchn | Inspiring cooks, nourishing homes https://ift.tt/7YxBJdW

It’s amazing what you can find on Amazon when you poke around a little bit. Recently I stumbled upon a section I had no idea even existed: the Premium Home section. Here, you can sort through pages of gorgeous home goods, ranging from luxury candles to plush bath towels to designer dinnerware. In this section, you can also find designer furniture for your dining room. There are 47 dining tables, dining chairs, bar stools, and more to choose from. READ MORE... from Kitchn | Inspiring cooks, nourishing homes https://ift.tt/qsG6ATP

One way that I often decide on what to make for dinner is to use the flavors of classic dishes in easy-to-eat meatball meals. This meatball main is inspired by chicken Florentine. Here, tender meatballs are made with ground chicken, nutty Parmesan cheese, fresh parsley, and bright lemon zest then baked until golden-brown and juicy. While the oven takes care of the meatballs, you can tend to the sauce. READ MORE... from Kitchn | Inspiring cooks, nourishing homes https://ift.tt/gQsCE9f

As the weather gets chillier, there’s nothing better than cozying up with a warm bowl of soup. It doesn’t matter if it’s classic chicken noodle or a creamy zuppa toscana that gives Olive Garden a run for its money. Soups are also great to prepare ahead so you can easily have a hearty bowl for lunch whenever you get hungry. But one thing to keep in mind: If you want a soup that keeps you as full as any other meal, make sure it has enough protein.

When I think about my dream roast potato (doesn’t everybody?), it’s shatteringly crisp on the outside, probably roasted in rendered chicken fat. It’s golden-brown all over with craggy edges to catch bits of garlic and seasonings, and yet the inside is impossibly tender and fluffy. Do you have chills, or is that just me?

When I don’t feel like putting much effort into cooking, pasta is there for me. Paired with a jarred sauce, it’s a nearly effortless dinner. And a brand I often turn to for delicious pasta sauces is Sauz.The jarred pasta sauce brand just dropped a new flavor last month, and it’s a tasty take on a classic. Meet Sauz’s Zesty Italian Vodka Sauce. It’s creamy, zippy, and so good. You’re going to want to grab two jars. READ MORE... from Kitchn | Inspiring cooks, nourishing homes https://ift.tt/vtj1q3B

Lauren Graham is no stranger to the kitchen. Unlike her character Lorelai from the hit show Gilmore Girls, who relied mostly on coffee, takeout, candy, and diner grub at Luke’s, Lauren is actually a pretty good cook.

Traditional bouillabaisse is a soup made with seafood in a homemade stock that is flavored with fennel, orange, and saffron.
