What to Cook

I'm a professional chef, but my favorite recipe for French toast is the one my mom made me as a kid. She used to whip some up on busy mornings for a quick breakfast, sometimes wrapping an extra slice in a napkin for me to eat on the walk to the bus.  Here's the recipe. Day-old sourdough bread is the key ingredient  Crunchy bread soaks up the egg mixture better. Alissa Fitzgerald ...

For the longest time, potato salad only meant one thing to me: russet potatoes, mayo, hard-boiled eggs, mustard, relish and a handful of other ingredients for flavor and flair. But then, through friends and dining out, I was exposed to the variety of terrain this dish can cover. The salads can be warm or cold, sweet or tart and made from of a variety of different types of potatoes, dressings and other add-ins. These five recipes showcase potato salad's versatility.

June 27 (UPI) -- National Ice Cream Cake Day, celebrated annually on June 27, was started by a Florida family to pay tribute to their mother. The holiday was first suggested by Jenna Jurado, whose mother, Johanna Jurado, died in a car accident just two months before her June 27 birthday. Jurado said her mother enjoyed celebrating unofficial holidays from the National Day Calendar, so she decided to submit her own holiday in tribute to her mother, who was a noted fan of ice cream cakes. The National Day Calendar accepted Jurado's petition and declared June 27 to be National Ice Cream Cake day. Other holidays and observances for June 27, 2022, include Decide to be Married Day, Happy Birthday to You Day, Helen Keller Day, Industrial Workers of the World Day, National Bingo Day, National Energy Shopping Day, National HIV Testing Day, National Indian Pudding Day, National Orange Blossom Day, Please Take My Children to Work Day, PTSD Awareness Day and Sunglasses Day.

After biting into one of these tender, moist muffins, I couldn't help but wonder why every better-for-you muffin I've bought at a store has tasted so bad. I've all but given up on them because they have unfailingly been disappointing, heavy and dry, more penance than pleasure. I'm not exactly sure where they are going wrong, but I do know where this recipe goes right. 3-ingredient blueberry muffins from TikTok's favorite grandma are a true delight First, mixing regular whole-wheat flour with a more tender variety yields just the right texture, soft and cakelike, with a satisfying heartiness. (For tender flour, I use whole-wheat pastry or white whole-wheat flour to keep the muffin 100 percent whole grain, but all-purpose is fine, too.) Second, using enough healthy oil instead of butter keeps the saturated fat down without sacrificing the grain-coating tenderness fat provides. Adding less sweetener and more berries to the batter than is typical makes these better for ...

Fall-off-the-Bone pork roast WORDS, RECIPE AND PHOTOS BY MONICA KASS ROGERS Low and slow. There is no better way to cook a nice, big pork shoulder roast—one that you have marinated in a delicious rub of garlic, rosemary, mustard, and miso. At 250°, the oven seems barely on. But as the hours pass, four … six … seven, the house fills with the most delicious aroma. And when you pull that roast from the oven and slice it, the meat falls off the bone, breaking up into tender morsels of savory goodness. Eaten that way, sauced with juices, and paired with vegetables, it's irresistible. But you can also fill tacos with the meat as we like to do, adding some pickled onion and cotija cheese crumbles on top. To make this roast, we used a seven-pound, bone-in, pork shoulder (also known as pork butt) with the fat cap scored, searing it for 20 minutes at 450° and then turning it down to 250° and roasting uncovered for the remainder of the time. If using a smaller-than-seven- pound roast, s...

Molasses cookies have a sense of nostalgia attached to them. For many, they're associated with childhood and the holiday season. They contain molasses, which is a syrup that is made by separating sugar crystals from boiled sugar cane.  Molasses cookies contain ground cinnamon, ginger, and dark molasses (via Salty Marshmellow). They're similar to gingersnaps; both contain molasses as well as holiday spices like nutmeg, ginger, cinnamon, and cloves (via My Recipes).  However, molasses cookies are chewier and less crispy in texture. Molasses cookies have a much chewier texture than gingersnaps. Gingersnaps can be hard on the teeth and a bit more difficult to chew.  Molasses cookies have a warm, sweet flavor. Additionally, these cookies tend to retain some moisture, which a lot of other cookies don't. These cookies are perfect for dipping in a glass of eggnog or hot chocolate while lying curled up u...

Mayonnaise may be one of the main ingredients in egg salad, but that doesn't mean substituting it for something else will ruin an otherwise delicious sandwich spread. According to a recipe Rocco DiSpirito shared with The Rachael Ray Show, Greek yogurt alone functions as a mayonnaise alternative. With some vinegar, cornstarch, mustard, salt, and sweetener, you can even mimic the taste of it. Since tzatziki is Greek yogurt plus a few extra ingredients and seasonings, it works just as well as a mayonnaise substitute in any egg salad. For best results, Cabot Cheese recommends a half cup of tzatziki per six hard-boiled eggs, but as Livestrong explains, Greek yogurt and mayonnaise can be swapped at a perfect one-to-one ratio, so you can use any egg salad recipe without tweaking the other ingredients. Just replace the mayonnaise with tzatziki and you can transform any egg salad.

According to True Sourdough, autolyze is a method in bread-baking where the flour and water are mixed and then left to sit before the other ingredients are added. This period, which can last anywhere from 10 minutes to over five hours, allows the flour to become fully hydrated, which in turn helps develop gluten. Although implementing an autolyze is not required in baking sourdough, there are a variety of benefits to both workability of the dough and a tasty loaf. An autolyze will make the dough more workable because the gluten development makes the dough stronger. After an autolyze, you will find the dough stretchier, smoother, and not as easily torn. This is the same reason why sourdoughs made with an autolyze have a better oven spring, a more open structure, and a softer interior, says True Sourdough. Additionally, baking with an autolyze will make for less kneading time later on since an autolyze essentially preps the dough's gluten development. In turn, this makes your f...

On Tuesday, a bipartisan group of lawmakers announced that they have reached a consensus on a bill to extend the universal school meals program that's helped keep millions of children fed throughout the pandemic — but the agreement removes the universal aspect of the program. Senators Debbie Stabenow (D-Michigan) and John Boozman (R-Arkansas) and Representatives Bobby Scott (D-Virginia) and Virginia Foxx (R-North Carolina) have unveiled the Keep Kids Fed Act, which would extend a supplemented school meal waiver program through the upcoming school year and provide 40 cents more in federal reimbursements for school lunches and 15 cents in reimbursements for breakfast. Lawmakers had rushed to reach an agreement with Republicans, who wanted to weaken the program, ostensibly because they were concerned about its cost. While the proposal comes just before the current waiver program is set to expire on June 30, it requires the federal school meal program to be restricted to familie...

Cheesecakes are traditional for Shavuot (from sunset June 4 to nightfall June 6) because of the holiday's many associations with dairy foods. Here I've combined mini cheesecakes with rhubarb and strawberries as a delicious way to celebrate the giving of the Torah. The fruits combine to make a sweet-tart topping for the cheesecakes, the tartness setting off the richness of the cheesecake. For a sweeter topping, add sugar to taste while cooking the fruit. The cheesecakes and topping can be made ahead and the desserts assembled just before serving. Mini Cheesecakes with Rhubarb and Strawberries Makes 12 6 (3¼ oz.) whole graham crackers 6 Tbs. unsalted butter, melted 1 cup plus 2 Tbs. sugar 24 oz. brick-style cream cheese, room temperature 2 large eggs, beaten 2 tsp. vanilla extract 1 tsp. lemon juice ¼ tsp. salt ½ cup plus ¼ cup sour cream Rhubarb and Strawberry Topping (see below) 12 thin slices of strawberry Chopped mint leaves, optional H...

Tearing off and tossing (or composting) the greens on a bunch of carrots is practically a reflex for most of us. It was for me until recently, when I discovered that carrot greens are more than edible — they're downright tasty, and nutritious, too. Carrot tops make a punchy sauce for their honey-glazed roots With an intensely carroty flavor and aroma, carrot greens possess the pleasant earthy bitterness common for leafy greens but with a feathery texture that feels like an herb. Nutritionally, they're rich in vitamin A, potassium and health-protective plant compounds. To keep them, remove them from the carrots and store separately, in a bag in the refrigerator, as you would other greens. If you keep them attached, the leaves will draw moisture and nutrients from the root and the carrots themselves will not last as long. (That's one reason they are often removed at the grocery store.) You can use carrot greens as you would parsley or cilantro, sprinkling them on a dish as a ...

For first-time cooks, or anyone looking to simplify the holiday prep, this special menu minimizes effort and maximizes flavor. For the fledgling cook, Thanksgiving dinner can seem like the most intimidating meal to make. It's not often that a civilian is asked to knock out a long succession of dishes, including a giant bird, for a crowd with fixed ideas of how it should all be done. But it doesn't have to be like that. I set out to devise a scaled-down menu for beginners — or anyone who wants to achieve the same flavor touchstones without doing more work than necessary. Most of the dishes can be prepared with little more than a sheet pan and a large skillet. Everything cooks at one temperature — 350 degrees — so you're not performing mental or physical gymnastics with the oven. The shopping is easy because these recipes call for a limited number of essential ingredients, many of which are shared across the menu. Forget the fresh herbs — they're just one more thing you...
