There are, for me, two kinds of recipes, one for each mood: The first kind is quick and easy, like the 30-minute lemon chicken I make when I come home from work hungry and don't want to think too hard about what I'm feeding myself. The second is for when I'm feeding someone else, usually something …
Food studies are notoriously difficult to do well, mainly because in order to get scientifically meaningful results, you need three elements: careful controls, long time spans, and a huge sample size. That's why many food studies are done with animals instead of humans: you can feed a rat the same …
When I first heard about eating seasonally and locally, I thought it was great idea -- in the same way that I thought trying yoga and getting around to opening a retirement account and settling down with a nice Jewish girl sound like great ideas. Fabulous, really, excellent and ... I'll get around …
In 2016, I won a lasagne contest. Sure, I was only competing against one other chef, and, okay, okay, both "judges" were my best friends, but it's still a crowning achievement in my dinner party career. My opponent put forward a truly admirable specimen. He'd spent days perfecting his entry. There …
Within my own family, my Queens-born appetite is world-famous. The mythology’s narrative arc stretches to infancy, dark days filled with ceaseless crying after relentless nursing, to the point when my incredulous mother had to bring me to a doctor. “Nothing’s wrong with him,” he told her. “He’s just …
I have a soft spot in my heart for boxed mac and cheese because it's the only kind I ever got to enjoy as a kid. There were a few times where I'd sneak into the kitchen and try to make it myself, only to fail miserably (and I mean miserably). The noodles wouldn't be cooked properly because I didn't …
Bolognese is a versatile sauce that everyone seems to love. I serve it with pasta, with polenta, or as my sauce for baked pasta or lasagna. Making it is a time-consuming process, so many people shy away from doing so at home, but they love to order it at Felidia. Though the sauce gets its name from …
“Living by Design” host Jake Smollett is currently working on his second cookbook. And it covers one food, which fans of his time on the “Rachel Ray Show” are sure to enjoy. Like “The Family Table: Recipes and Moments from a Nomadic Life,” Smollett’s new work will feature family-style recipes — …
Literally translating to "cheese and pepper," the cheesy pasta dish Cacio e Pepe is a storied staple of Roman cuisine. Cacio e Pepe combines two hard cheeses — parmigiano reggiano and pecorino romano — with grated black pepper. Beautiful for its simplicity, it's one truly sophisticated meal. This …
For her latest cookbook, James Beard winner Lidia Bastianich decided to revisit her roots. In Felidia: Recipes from My Flagship Restaurant, the chef shares the dishes that shot her to fame on the American culinary scene for the very first time. "We opened Felidia in 1981, and that's where I became a …
As one of the preeminent chefs in America, James Beard Award winner Michael Symon needs no introduction. You know him from the Food Network as an Iron Chef and the host of "Burgers, Brew & 'Que." Before that, he was the co-host of the long-running ABC talk show "The Chew." A prolific author, his …
Like many food lovers, most of my extra time at home during the pandemic — especially during the early months — was spent in the kitchen. I was ambitious to start: I baked loaves of bread that always came out just a little too dense; I meticulously braided strands of babka with cocoa powder-stained …
