Recipe for roasted sweet potatoes with Greek yogurt combines savory and creamy - San Francisco Chronicle

Image
Sweet potatoes are one of my favorite vegetables. Their ability to easily migrate from savory preparations to sweeter desserts such as pies makes them a wonderful asset in the kitchen. In my house, you’ll find me baking sweet potato pies even if it isn’t Thanksgiving (and at the holiday dinner, I will skip pumpkin pie in favor of sweet potato pies). Sweet potatoes make a gorgeous creamy base in soups, and sweet potato fries are a delightful treat, as are roasted sweet potatoes with their outer crunchy shell. If you plant sweet potatoes, the leaves can be harvested and eaten in a myriad of ways from stir-fries to sauteed dishes. I like to roast sweet potatoes to take advantage of the sugars present inside and let them caramelize by heating. This also helps create a whole new set of aroma and taste molecules that give the sweet potato an extra-special note. In this recipe, I actually cook the sweet potato in two ways. First, I partially steam it in its own water by sealing the root ve...

The Most Delicious Chicken - The New York Times The Most Delicious Chicken - The New York Times Posted: 03 Jul 2020 12:00 AM PDT Hello and welcome to Five Weeknight Dishes. The Fourth of July, with its tantalizing promise of corn and watermelon, is somehow upon us. (Is time moving quickly? Slowly? It's tough to tell!) There are two recipes below that would go nicely on the grill — though you could also cook them indoors if grilling isn't an option — along with some very herby, summery recipes to help carry you through the week. I'm at dearemily@nytimes.com, and I'm always happy to hear from you. Here are five dishes for the week: Image Credit... David Malosh for The New York Times. Food Stylist: Barrett Washburne. 1.

Five Real Life Wasp Superpowers Not in Ant-Man and the Wasp - Smithsonian

Five Real Life Wasp Superpowers Not in Ant-Man and the Wasp - Smithsonian Five Real Life Wasp Superpowers Not in Ant-Man and the Wasp - Smithsonian Posted: 03 Jul 2018 12:00 AM PDT Wasps are not typically thought of as heroes—if anything, they're antiheroes. Equipped with sharp stingers, menacing drones and a penchant for sugar, these formidable insects provoke the ire of picnic-goers the world over. Fortunately for wasps, however, Marvel has a reputation for empowering creepy-crawly underdogs (see: Spider-Man ). With Ant-Man and the Wasp , which premieres on July 6, the world is already abuzz with fervor for the next superhero installment. But while Ant-Man's Wasp hits the big screen with a veritable arsenal of crime-fighting abilities (Suits that shrink the people inside them! Exponentially superhuman strength! Aerodynamic bursts of flight!), the real wasps that plague our backyard barbecues boast their own set of superpowers th...

At Roma in Rice Village, virtual wine dinners keep the restaurant afloat - Houston Chronicle At Roma in Rice Village, virtual wine dinners keep the restaurant afloat - Houston Chronicle Posted: 30 Jul 2020 08:00 AM PDT On a Thursday evening in July, exactly 131 days since I had last tucked my feet under a restaurant table, I attended a wine dinner. This being 2020 and all, it was a virtual dinner, but the ritual of it made me feel somewhat whole again. Roma, an Italian restaurant in Rice Village, has hosted online wine dinners every week since April 29. Given the coronavirus pandemic shutdowns, owner Shanon Scott needed a contingency plan. He decided to bring hospitality into people's homes. Guests register through the website, pick up their food and bottles of wine shortly before the event, return home and log on to Zoom promptly at 7:30 p.m., as one would for a dinner reservation. A representative of the featured winery — typically the...

The incredible, edible fig - SCNow The incredible, edible fig - SCNow Dawn Dillard: Summertime and the livin' is easy - Marshall News Messenger Michelle Darmody's favourite fig-based dessert recipes - Irish Examiner The incredible, edible fig - SCNow Posted: 28 Jul 2020 03:53 PM PDT The "common fig" has been cultivated and highly regarded across many cultures since ancient times. Originating in the Middle East, it is but one of hundreds of species of figs. The common fig is referenced repeatedly in the Bible, but the archeological record shows that humans cultivated figs in the Jordan Valley at least 11,000 years ago. Here in the Pee Dee region of South Carolina, figs flourish in our hot, sunny climate. Right now, the fig trees are laden with heavy, plump, brown fruits dangling from the twisty tree branches. The trees are commonplace throughout the suburbs, inner cities and rural areas. ...

A Food Writer’s Sicilian Pasta Dish — and Tips for Sharing It - The New York Times

Image
In “ One Good Meal ,” we ask cooking-inclined creative people to share the story behind a favorite dish they actually make and eat at home on a regular basis — and not just when they’re trying to impress. Over the last few years, the British food writer and chef Skye McAlpine has built a loyal following with her unfussy dishes, inspired by her upbringing in both England and Italy, which she serves in big, mismatched platters at lively gatherings of friends. Or, as she puts it in her new book, “A Table for Friends,” “The kind of food you can plonk down in the center of the table for everyone to tuck into, towering platefuls of it.” But then the pandemic hit and McAlpine found herself in quarantine in London with far fewer people to cook for. While she wasn’t entertaining, though, making and presenting food remained a reliable source of solace. “Feeding people is such a great way of showing love and care and putting happy energy out in the world,” says McAlpine, who still had her hu...
