What to Cook

As a spice, sumac works great in savory dishes, especially if they're starch-based. But although sumac pairs well with savory fare, it works just as well in desserts. So, if you're interested in baking with sumac, there's no better place to start than shortbread cookies. And, if you're not interested in baking with sumac, maybe you should be. Here's why: Sumac comes ground and tart — and functions similarly to citrus when used in cookie recipes. In addition, it has a sour, acidic taste that is not unlike that of a lemon, so it's versatile and delicious.Unlike lemon, however, sumac adds a trademark tartness in the form of a spice, rather than a liquid. It is therefore all the easier to use sumac in baking, because it doesn't throw off a recipe's liquid ratios.  To bake with sumac, simply incorporate a few tablespoons into your shortbread recipe. And, for extra flavor, add a final sprinkle of sumac to the top of your cooki...

Dave Rutigliano tracks inflation in both his hats, as a Connecticut lawmaker on the panel that sets state spending and, mostly, as a partner in a group of six Connecticut restaurants. Take chicken and eggs, two food staples that should tell us the direction of inflation.  Eggs have dropped in price lately but they remain at double their pre-pandemic prices or even higher. A dozen ovules still cause a shell-shocking at the cash register. Chicken? Like eggs, prices for the bird flew the coop in 2022.  Then they flopped back down.  We're clucking about wings and breasts ringing up at or even below the levels we saw before the pandemic, long before inflation gripped its claws around the world. But they're starting to creep back up again. So, eggs are way up, chicken is down and they're moving in opposite directions. Which came first? More important for th...

MariaKovaleva/Shutterstock Some cooks have a love-hate relationship with chicken breasts, which isn't surprising. When not cooked properly, this lean poultry part can end up dry, overdone and stringy, or undercooked — with the potential to trigger a stomach upset. Chicken breasts can be a challenge to cook for the same reason why they are so healthy: They have very little fat, per MasterClass. As a result, professional chefs have had to find special ways to work with this tricky ingredient. Gordon Ramsay recommends bringing the chicken breasts to room temperature first. Doing this allows the meat to cook more evenly. When prepared properly, chicken breasts offer no dining downsides. A 3-ounce piece is estimated to deliver 122 calories, 24...

My biggest battle when going vegan was giving up macaroni and cheese. It was (and, to be honest, still is) my absolute favorite food. I loved it in all forms: baked, stovetop, boxed, you name it. Now that I've transitioned back to vegetarianism, I'm enjoying a bit of a mac and cheese renaissance. I've made the recipe that carried me through my childhood a couple of times (with peas and lots of extra-sharp cheddar), but I'm also eager to experiment and push the envelope in this new, cheesy chapter of my life. These recipes are just what I'm thinking: bold, flavor-rich takes on a beloved classic. For even more mac and cheese recipes, head over to our Recipe Finder and use the search bar.

Fattoush is a popular Middle Eastern bread salad made with baked or fried pita chips. In our version, eggplant and bell peppers are roasted in the oven to become melt-in-your-mouth tender and then tossed with a tangy sumac-infused hummus sauce. Buckwheat groats add a dose of hearty whole grain goodness to the baked whole wheat pita and veggie mix, while fresh cucumber keeps things crisp. You can eat this salad straight out of a bowl, but it's more delicious (and fun) to serve inside of crunchy lettuce leaves to create an edible container. Top each serving with walnuts or pine nuts (or omit, if you prefer), and enjoy sinking your teeth into this wholesome, filling salad.

Most seasons in Denmark have a cake or bread associated with them, but no other season's sweets have as much hype as the cream bun for the Fastelavn holiday. "The secret to a good fastelavnsboller ," said Thomas Spelling, owner of neighbourhood bakery Rondo in Nørrebro, Copenhagen, "is that it has to be rich, beautiful to look at and ugly to eat." His words rang in my ears as I bit into one of the soft, ganache-topped cakes later in the day, ending up with thick cream all over my hands, cheeks, and inexplicably, my leg and the floor. It certainly looked beautiful, rounded and with a dark glossy top, and it filled my mouth with an explosion of soft, yielding cake and rich, smooth and thick cream – but it was absolutely impossible to eat without making a mess. Most seasons in Denmark have a cake or bread associated with them but no other season's cakes have as much hype around them as those produced for Fastelavn. This celebration, which takes place on the...
