What to Cook

When the viral videos for frozen yogurt bark started popping up on my TikTok and Instagram feeds, I was intrigued but skeptical. Could this idea really be as easy and tasty as it looked in the 15-second clips? Too often I've found such trendy recipes to have a hiccup that makes them problematic. After testing it out, I'm happy to report that the frozen yogurt bark lived up to the hype as a simple-to-make, beautifully eye-catching, refreshingly tasty and healthful treat. In the process, I figured out a few tips to help you make it successfully at home. Here's the basic recipe: Spread yogurt on a parchment-lined sheet pan, top with fruit, freeze; then break it up into pieces and eat. One key detail I discovered is to use Greek yogurt for optimal consistency and spread-ability. I went with the full-fat version for a creamier texture, but low-fat works, too. Using plain yogurt allows control over the flavor, as well as the flexibility to play around. I chose honey and vanilla, ...

If you've ever taken a bite out of a homemade cookie and found that it was too cakey, it's likely due to the inclusion of baking powder and white sugar. Warren's recipe yields a weightier, chewier cookie, using baking soda and brown sugar, which has a greater molasses content. The chilling of the dough will add more than just texture. The chef says when it comes to oatmeal cookies, it's best to allow the oats to rest for a while. They'll soak up the egg and other wet ingredients—kind of like overnight oats—leaving you with the most flavor. Oatmeal cookies are some of the most versatile out there, lending themselves to all kinds of inclusions. Warren likes to add pumpkin seeds for a bit of crunch or white chocolate chips for extra indulgence. Next time, she might even drizzle white chocolate after baking, "so that I can stick more of that candied ginger on top," she says. Take one to go on your first brisk walk of the season, or enjoy with friends at a cozy...

If you've ever whipped up a steak marinade that contains Worcestershire sauce, we are not surprised. This common condiment traces its roots to 1830s England and is said to be inspired by an Indian sauce sampled by a former governor of Bengal (via BBC). Here at Tasting Table, our recipes for Tenderizing Steak Marinade, Grilled Hanger Steak, and Marinated London Broil all contain the dark, salty sauce — and it's because Worcestershire sauce contains not just one, but several ingredients that all enhance the flavor and texture of steak. Lea & Perrins, which invented Worcestershire sauce and continues to bottle the brand-named stuff, lists white vinegar, molasses, sugar, onions, garlic, anchovies, tamarind extract, and chili pepper extract as its primary ingredients (via Amazon). Therefore, the sauce is like several ingredients in one with its various flavorings bringing different benefits to a piece of steak. Recipe blog One Good Thing notes that the vinegar in Worcest...

Growing up, East Bay chef Kevin Tang stole his mom's copies of Better Homes & Gardens and Bon Appetit, but when he went to recreate a recipe, the pantry was filled with different ingredients. "This dish," he said of the heirloom tomato and peach salad you see here, "is an ode to that … reading American cooking magazines, but only working within an Asian pantry." Tang has a Michelin-starred background, previously coming through vaunted SF restaurants like Nari and Mister Jiu's. These days, he runs the popular East Bay pandemic pop-up Claws of Mantis, and recently joined the team at Oakland's neon-electric cocktail bar Viridian. There, he's expanding the menu with his distinct flavor of Asian American nostalgia. He first met Eleana Hsu, the co-founder of fermented goods company Shared Cultures, when she was personally dropping off an order, and ...

Make the curry powder: Cook cardamom pods, cinnamon pieces, bay leaf, mustard seeds, coriander seeds, fennel seeds, cumin seeds, fenugreek seeds, and whole cloves in a medium skillet over medium, tossing or stirring often, until toasted and fragrant, 2 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat; let cool 2 minutes. Transfer toasted cardamom mixture and black peppercorns to a spice grinder; process, stopping to shake grinder a couple of times to make sure cinnamon stick is pulverized, until a powder forms, about 15 seconds. Continue processing until a fine powder forms, about 15 seconds. Pour ground spices through a fine wire-mesh strainer set over a medium bowl. If any coarse pieces remain in strainer, return to spice grinder, and process until they form a fine powder; sift again. Discard any remaining coarse pieces. Add ground ginger, turmeric, salt, paprika, and cayenne to ground cardamom mixture in bowl, and whisk to combine. Add additional cayenne to taste. Reserve 1 tablespoon curr...

CHICKEN Parmesan may sound like a homely Italian dish but the reality could not be more different. In fact, the entrée doesn't even come from the European country and its origins may even surprise you. 1 The origins of chicken parmesan may leave you surprised Credit: Getty Chicken parmesan or Parmigiana is one of the classics in Italian-American cuisine. Chicken breasts are seasoned with salt and pepper before being coated in flour, egg, and breadcrumbs and fried. The meat is then topped with marinara sauce and lashings of mozzarella before it's baked. Once cooked, the cheese comes out all stringy and the spicy tomato sauce leaves your taste buds dancing. It can be served on a bed of pasta such as spaghetti or on its own. The word "Parmigiana" means in the style of the Italian city of Parma, it's not alluding to the cheese, according to Modern Proper. The history of chicken parmesan can be traced back to Italian migrants that had moved to the Eas...

One of the reasons sugar is needed is because it acts as an anti-freezing agent. This helps the semifreddo retain its half-frozen status. According to Italian Gelato, if you're wanting to cut down on your sugar intake, you can add alcohol to the semifreddo mix. Alcohol works like sugar to lower the freezing point of whatever you are making. If you are going to add alcohol, you'll need to lower the amount of sugar to ensure the same texture. Depending on the alcohol you choose, it can also be used as a flavor enhancer. BBC Good Food suggests using limoncello, an Italian lemon-flavored liqueur in a semifreddo. If you don't have any on hand, you can try your hand making a classic limoncello recipe at home. The tartness from the limoncello pairs well with tart and sweet raspberries for a limoncello raspberry semifreddo. Another popular alcohol for semifreddo is Amaretto, an Italian almond-flavored liquor (per Laura in the Kitchen).  Basically, if you want to use ...

It's a wrap on hunger with this satisfying sandwich, which features turkey, cheese, lettuce, tomato and avocado enveloped in a protein-rich low-carb egg wrap. It's seasoned with veggies and a spicy Sriracha-mayo so every single taste bud is satisfied. Is it breakfast? Is it lunch? Yes! You can enjoy it any time of day using the toppings of your choice. Consider yourself a wrap artist! Recipe notes: -This recipe makes one serving but you can easily double, triple or quadruple the ingredients to make several servings. -If you make more than 1 wrap, I recommend keeping the eggs separated so each wrap contains 2 perfectly beaten eggs. This will ensure the wraps are all the same size (about 9-inches in diameter). -A 10" pan will yield a 9" omelet wrap, but you can use anything smaller than a 10" for a smaller yet thicker omelet wrap. -This is best served fresh, but you can make ahead and keep in the fridge overnight. Store with parchment or wax paper in betw...

One of our secret ingredients to build flavor fast is miso. As an umami base, it helps balance and unify sweet and sour notes in everything from chicken to pasta, even cookies. It goes particularly well in a sweet-savory marinade for grilled skirt steak, amplifying the meat's beefiness and balancing the sugars in Asian chili-garlic sauce. In this recipe from our book "Milk Street Tuesday Nights," which limits recipes to 45 minutes or less, we preferred red miso for its rich flavor, which is deeper than the more common white miso (though white also would be delicious). For a double dose of flavor, we use it in the sauce and the marinade, which also includes soy sauce, sesame oil and a bit of white sugar. Once the meat is cooking, the sugars in the marinade caramelize to create flavorful browning, and the steak finishes in only a few minutes on each side. Though we developed this recipe for the stovetop, it will work equally well on a cleaned and well-oiled grill. Ju...
