Salt & Fat: Burgers →
Memorial Day kicked off the unofficial start of grilling season here in the US of A, which no doubt means many of you are going to be pattying up some hamburgers over the next few months. A good burger is a thing to take pride in and a little extra attention will help get it just right.

Quinoa
saltandfat:
I do this thing once a week where I don’t eat meat — vegetarian Wednesday. It’s based on some impossible to verify stat I read somewhere that if everyone in the U.S. gave up meat one day a week it’d be equivalent to taking some untold millions of cars off the road, in terms of environmental impact. Sure, sounds great, it’s also a helpful check on my diet and a fun challenge.

Salt & Fat: The grilled cheese sandwich →
I love foods that evolve with the cook, that are simple enough to be embraced early but improved upon indefinitely. Consider the grilled cheese sandwich.
Grilled cheese is one of the first things I remember piloting on the stove. Three Kraft singles cheese-product slices between limp pieces of…

Home Cook Superstar: The Peter Berley Roasted... →
Peter Berley knows more about food than almost anyone I’ve met. But even I was a skeptic when the former executive chef of Angelika’s Kitchen (a vegetarian spot) recommended this approach to roasting a chicken. Knowing it was a variation of the old school Thomas Keller approach, I decided to…

Salt & Fat: Roasting a chicken →
When Neven and I started Salt & Fat, this is the post I had in mind. A whole, roasted chicken, one of my absolute favorite meals to cook. There’s something about the whole bird, with the crisp skin and flavorful dark and white meat that I think we lose when we pick up a cellophane wrapped skinless…
Orange Lavender Leche Flan
urbanfoodie:
When you go on a macaron-making binge, you’re inevitably left with a lot of egg yolks. You could make a bunch of things: pudding, mayonnaise, hollandaise sauce, bearnaise sauce, caesar salad dressing, pastry cream, carbonara pasta, some kind of cream pie, or any variety of custards, just to name a few. My mind immediately goes to leche flan because it’s my mom’s go-to dessert for...

If you’re a NYC foodie, then it is safe to say you’ve experienced David Chang’s magic at one of his Momofuku venues. If you’re a foodie outside of NYC, it’s likely you’ve heard about the Chang magic and want to try to reproduce it at home. And now you can, using the Momofuku Cookbook as a…

Preserved lemons
saltandfat:
It wasn’t that long ago that I learned that citrus fruits peak in winter — it seems bizarre, doesn’t it? Not just because we’re used to drinking orange juice whenever we please, thankyouverymuch, but citrus just conveys an image of warmer, sunnier climes. Well, believe it, we’re right at the tail end of prime citrus season. Which means now’s a great time to stock up on fresh Meyer...

I love their very reasonable take on what was a great, but expensive, dinner at the Momofuku restaurant. The ramen leftovers were smart!

Unless you tend towards the obsessive-compulsive and take an interest in kitchen organization, chances are good that your refrigerator’s needs are not being met. This article from the Wall Street Journal describes some of the ways that people neglect and abuse the kitchen appliance that we seem to love the most and care for the least. For starters, most people tend...

French Mussels & Amélie
As you know, it is Paris Week on From Me To You so I could not wait for this week’s Dinner & A Movie… I mean two of my favorite things in one- Amélie & Butter (and bread and garlic and wine and you get the idea). So when I had lunch with Working Class Foodies cook Rebecca Lando this week she asked me what I was going to make, I guess it was...

The Chocolate Soufflé
saltandfat:
The soufflé has a somewhat undeserved reputation for being difficult, the type of thing best not trifled with in just any kitchen. The name alone — it’s French, there’s a funny mark over the last letter, this can’t possibly be cooked. Allow me to disabuse you of this notion, just in time for Valentine’s day, with the chocolate soufflé. Trust me, you’ll thank me later.

The wonders of fresh ricotta
saltandfat:
For dinner, I made Dog Mountain Farm duck yolk ravioli with seasoned homemade ricotta. It was great but this post isn’t about duck eggs or fresh pasta this is about the ricotta, which is one of those amazingly simple yet sublime things to cook.
The recipe I use when I make ricotta is from Gourmet magazine (rest in peace) but don’t let that deter you, it really is easy. I halved...
Filipino Meat-and-Tomato-Based-Stew-Thing
urbanfoodie:
Filipino home cooks are well aware of the great variation amongst recipes and their loose cultural transmission down the matriarchal family line. Every region has their spin, and every family has their version. You are very unlikely to find a definitive recipe for most dishes. One of the genres of Filipino home cooking that I am currently fascinated with is the [meat] stew in a...

Roasted Tomato Basil Soup and A Good Year
Cooking in my parent’s Texas kitchen is a much different experience than in my NYC apartment. For one, there is counter space, endless square feet of it. Everywhere you look there is a surface to set things down on. A dishwasher, as in machine, not person.. who knew such technology existed?! And a lifetime stock of kitchen equipment....
