The friends that introduced me to sushi also threw sushi making parties—an easy and economical way to eat sushi. We bought a variety of sashimi-grade fish from a local restaurant and split the cost. We spent the evening making sushi rice, cutting up fish and nori, and making rolls and nigiri to our heart’s content. At these parties, I learned the importance of making good sushi rice. What is Sushi Rice?...
Video: How to Make Sweet Potato Casserole With Marshmallows Sweet Potato Casserole for Thanksgiving Dinner My immediate family does not share my passion for the sweet spud, so it was only a matter of time (with me consuming the whole casserole by myself for a few years) before I gave up and deleted them from the Thanksgiving menu. But help was on the way. A very darling girl joined our family this past summer and brought her enthusiasm for sweet potatoes with her....
The tahini’s subtle nuttiness balances out the sweetness of the cookie. It also creates a unique texture—the bottoms become crisp while the insides stay moist, gooey. I use salted butter and top the baked cookies with flaky sea salt to bring out more flavor from the tahini and bittersweet chocolate. These are perfect, slightly more “adult” take on the chocolate chip cookies we all know and love. How to Bake the Best Tahini Chocolate Chip Cookies Here are some tips, tricks, and “don’t skips” to keep in mind:...
As we grew older and got more interested in cooking, my younger sister and I started helping my mom with the preparation. We rolled the taquitos, washed the toppings, chopped (as our knife skills improved), and made salsa in the blender with dried chile arbols or fresh serrano chilies with garlic and tomatoes blistered on the stove. This is an excellent opportunity to get your family involved in the process, too....

To brew a cold-brew coffee concentrate, combine 1 cup of ground coffee for every 4 cups of cold water. Be patient (most cold-brew coffee makers require 12 to 24 hours) and take a Goldilocks approach to tinkering with the grind of your beans: too coarse and you won’t extract enough flavor; too fine and coffee grounds will leak into the cold-brew, making it gritty. This guide will help with the learning curve....
These chicken nuggets use real chicken breast meat so you know they will be a much higher quality than that ground bunch of mystery stuff you find in the drive thru. They are dipped in butter and rolled in a flavorful bread crumb mixture that includes cheese. Yes, cheese. It makes everything better! If you are looking for a lower fat option, you can use buttermilk (or a buttermilk substitute) in place of the butter....
From pie plates to bundt pans, spatulas to cookie cutters, there are so many gift ideas to buy for the beloved baker in your life. But which are the best? You’ll want to focus on quality, functionality, and durability, but looks matter too in a gift, as does the cost, of course. And sometimes the occasion (like stocking stuffers, to say thank you, weddings, or birthdays) will help determine which item works best....
At their most simple, these stick blenders crush and mix ingredients directly in the pot or bowl, making smooth sauces and pureed soups a breeze. Fancier versions come with attachments, like a whisk or food processor, that turn your hand blender into a multipurpose kitchen accessory. If you’re on the fence about purchasing an immersion blender, Jamie Hunt, a celebrity chef in New York City, recommends one because it “is a convenient way to make smoothies in the morning, which means fewer dishes for busy people on the go....
I’ve made osso buco, an Italian dish of braised veal shanks, several times. I’ve eaten it in fine Italian restaurants but I’ve never really liked it until now. How to Make Italian Osso Buco This is a great recipe that my father pulled from the web a few years ago, which uses pancetta, instead of olive oil, for the browning of the veal and cooking the vegetables. Olive oil is the traditional method, so if you want to skip the pancetta, just substitute several tablespoons of olive oil....
The slightly curved bases and angled edges—a key differentiator from sauté pans, which have tall, straight sides—make it easy to flip your food with a spatula, or even with a flick of the wrist from that extended handle, if you’re feeling confident. A good skillet is a foundational piece of every kitchen. It’s one of the first things we buy when we strike out on our own. In my home, it’s a cooking vessel used so often that it has a permanent spot on the stove, no matter how much room there might miraculously be in the cabinet....
A little less well known, Ethiopian cuisine is actually extremely healthy and flavorful. Tikel Gomen is a one-pot cabbage dish and is packed with nutrients and flavor that will make it an instant favorite. This dish also happens to be naturally vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free, so it satisfies a lot of dietary considerations and is still simply delicious. This can be eaten as a stand alone dish, or served with rice and a popular Ethiopian staple: Injera flatbread....
What to do with all these tomatoes? One of my favorite recipes for making use of fresh, ripe, garden tomatoes is this Italian inspired tomato salad with red onions, parsley, oregano, and avocados.
