It takes time to make, but if you truly want the best, it’s worth it! More stocks: chicken stock | vegetable stock Let me say from the outset: homemade beef stock requires effort.

So one might ask: Why make beef stock at home?...

So what’s the best way to keep apples from turning brown? We did our homework—and ate through even more apples than usual—to find out. In terms of the quality and duration of preservation, we found a clear winner. Hint: it involves salted water. But when you factor in the ease—like how realistic it is that you’ll actually use that method—the results somewhat depend on the situation, namely whether or not you’ll have a sink (and grownup) handy to rinse those slices....

Breads in India are mostly flatbreads. It’s the way they’re cooked or the type of flour used to make them that determines what they are called.

After some experimentation and a lot of research into Irish stews, I’ve settled on a stew that has its roots in the traditional approach, but takes a few detours to add a bit more flavor. Traditionally, Irish stew is made with mature lamb (year old) or mutton, potatoes, onions, and water, and is simply cooked low and slow. Where we make embellishments with this recipe is that we work with lamb shoulder, the meat is browned first, in bacon fat, and carrots, bacon, and thyme are all added....

Try these hamburger patties, seasoned with a homemade Jamaican jerk spice mixture of Scotch bonnet peppers, allspice, thyme, cinnamon, nutmeg, green onions, and garlic! Scotch bonnets, or their habanero cousins, are insanely hot, so you don’t really need much, half a 1 1/2-inch long pepper, seeds removed. Some people substitute jalapeños, but the flavor really is different, so I would stick to Scotch bonnets or habaneros if you can get them....

It’s so good! The apples, onions, and raisins give the lamb curry some sweetness, while a couple slices of lemon add some acidity and bitter to balance the flavors of the dish. I first encountered this lamb curry at my friend Elizabeth Abbott’s parent’s house and begged her mother Maria for the recipe, which, thankfully, she gave me. I’ve played around with it over the years, upped the spices, added raisins, cooked it on the stovetop, cooked it in an Instant Pot....
