These Oysters with General Tso’s Cabbage and Furikake from chef Sam Talbot of Pretty Southern, is a fun, delicious twist on an old favorite—and on oysters, too. The crunchy deep-fried cabbage is dressed in an umami-rich sauce with sweet, sour, and spicy notes from pineapple juice, lemon juice, honey, and chili vinegar, then topped with freshly shucked oysters for a briny, minerally contrast. The furikake garnish is a traditional Japanese mix of sesame seeds, seaweed, salt, and sugar, as well as some sort of dried fish, often bonito, which is sprinkled over rice, vegetables, and other dishes for an extra boost of sweet-savory flavor. If you can find a version made with shrimp (which may be labeled “ebi” furikake), use that in this recipe. Also, Blue Point oysters are the chef’s choice, but you should choose the freshest oysters you can find in your area.

Any leftover chutney is great as a dipping sauce or sandwich spread, and if you can’t find sea bass, you can use flounder, sole, skate, or any thin white fillet instead.

An ultra-thin chickpea flour batter coats the spinach leaves so they fry up with a wonderfully delicate crispiness akin to Japanese tempura. Dusted with deggi mirch (an Indian chili powder), black salt, and toasted cumin powder, then garnished with chopped red onion, tomato, and cilantro, and accompanied by both tangy tamarind and creamy yogurt sauces, this is a beautifully complex dish bursting with different textures, temperatures, and flavors. Although the recipe isn’t difficult, it pays to be organized. You can make the sauces and ready the garnishes up to a full day ahead, then be sure to lay everything out before you start cooking, since each step happens quickly. You’ll fry the spinach in four separate batches, so weigh out four equal piles before you start. You should also use a kitchen thermometer and make sure you let the oil get hot enough before you fry each new batch of spinach, or you’ll get soggy leaves instead of a great crisp. If you leave off the yogurt, you have a wonderful vegan snack or appetizer. And you can fry the spinach up to one hour before serving, although you should wait to assemble it with the garnishes until the last minute.

It naturally comes from the bitter alkaloid quinine, which also gives tonic water its characteristic bitterness. Because the quinine in the tonic is UV reactive, it will glow an eerie (but edible!) blue when exposed to a standard black light. But it does take a good amount of tonic to get a nice bright glow: Our test kitchen found that tonic water had to make up at least 50 percent of the volume in the recipe. To balance that bitterness, we mixed it with sweeter pineapple juice, Cointreau, pisco, and lime juice, in a riff on Pisco Punch. And in a Martha-inspired moment, we also created glowing “severed hands” by freezing tonic water in latex gloves to give the punch an extra-creepy look and keep it cold. Make sure to place the punch bowl right underneath a couple of black lights to get the maximum luminescence. What to buy: Pisco is a brandy distilled from South American white Muscat grapes. It can be found at well-stocked liquor stores or online. Special equipment: You will need 2 medium or large powder-free latex gloves and 2 rubber bands to make the glowing hands. To get the glowing effect, you will need a few black lights. Game plan: To quickly flatten the tonic water for the severed-hand ice cubes, place it in a container and agitate until bubbly. Repeat several times until almost no bubbles remain. Alternatively, pour it into a container, loosely cover, and let sit overnight at room temperature. The severed hands will need to freeze overnight, so be sure to make them at least 1 day before you plan to serve the punch.","Total: 15 mins, plus freezing and chilling time", 61,"2017-11-07 04:35:50",Ramelette,"The Ramelette is brought to you by The Culinary Bro-Down cookbook.

These unexpected appetizers from chef Theo Friedman are a beautiful balance of flavors and textures, and are far easier than you’d expect from the impressive results. Grated zucchini and onions are cooked down to a jam-like consistency with garlic, white balsamic, and thyme. The mixture melts into crunchy grilled sourdough toasts that are topped with smoked feta, fresh zucchini, and fragrant basil, plus halved Mexican sour gherkins for an extra pop. These gherkins taste like lemony cucumbers and look like tiny watermelons, but if you have trouble finding them, you can substitute small pieces of English cucumber squeezed with a little lemon juice, or simply leave them off.

Courtesy of chef Theo Friedman, this grilled eggplant recipe is simultaneously delicate and robust, with a wonderful melting texture, and bright but savory Asian flavors. Japanese eggplants, which are longer, narrower, and thinner-skinned than globe eggplants, are simply halved and brushed with a sweet-salty white miso, mirin, rice wine vinegar, and sugar glaze, then grilled until charred and tender. They nestle on a bed of tangy Greek yogurt sparked with citrusy yuzu juice and fragrant sesame oil, and get a shower of crunchy sesame seeds, fresh mint, and chives before serving. This is a lovely appetizer, but also makes a great vegetarian main with a little rice.

With your fingers, press it into a tart pan (no rolling necessary!), and let it hang out in the fridge for half an hour before pricking the bottom and baking. Fill the baked and cooled crust with anything from Easy Chocolate Ganache topped with Easy Whipped Cream, to Lemon Curd and meringue, or Vanilla-Buttermilk Pastry Cream and fresh fruit. Jazz up the tart shell by adding the seeds from a vanilla bean or a tablespoon of citrus zest, or just follow the recipe for our Ricotta and Honey Tart or Chocolate Ganache Tart.

These ribs are rubbed with a spice mix and browned in the pressure cooker; then cola, soy sauce, and Worcestershire are added to make a flavorful, balanced cooking liquid. Just 30 minutes later, once the ribs have become fork tender, the sauce is thickened to make a beefy, savory gravy. Serve the ribs and sauce over mashed potatoes with an escarole and mushroom salad on the side. What to buy: Look for the common English-cut beef short ribs, which are about 2 to 2 1/2 inches thick. Because of the thickness of short rib bones, have your butcher cut them crosswise into 2-1/2-inch-long pieces. Do not purchase Korean-style beef short ribs, which are about 1/4 inch thick with three rib bones attached. Game plan: Though the CHOW Test Kitchen prefers a stovetop pressure cooker, this recipe can also be made in an electric model. Use the brown setting for steps 2 and 3, then proceed with high pressure cooking. Return the pressure cooker to the brown setting to finish the sauce in the last step.

The tart flavor of the tomatillos balances the earthy, slightly smoky achiote spice; the sweet-sour orange juice balances the spicy jalapeños. They all merge with the richness of the pork shoulder to make something really delicious and laid-back. This spicy pulled pork is great on toasted French or ciabatta rolls, served with pickled red onions, or piled in warmed tortillas topped with queso fresco and chopped cilantro. What to buy: Achiote Rojo is a type of recado rojo, the Yucatecan spice mixture of annatto, Mexican oregano, spices, garlic, and salt. Buy it from a well-stocked Mexican market (we used the El Mexicano brand), or make your own recado rojo. We recommend whipping this recipe up for game day parties.

And while native Philadelphians have strong opinions about what toppings to add and even how to order (Whiz-wit or wit-out), both steak shacks essentially serve the same thing: seared strips of steak, sautéed onions, and plenty of cheese on a crusty hoagie roll. CHOW’s version starts with onions and optional peppers and mushrooms that are cooked till tender, then pushed to one side of the pan to make room for searing thinly sliced rib-eye. The vegetables are piled up right on the steak, slices of provolone are melted on top, and the whole mess is served in a toasted hoagie roll. Make sure to have plenty of napkins on hand, especially if you drop the provolone for some Cheez Whiz. Game plan: Don’t forget to chill your rib-eye before starting this recipe—it’ll make the steak much easier to slice.","Total: 35 mins, plus 45 mins to chill the steak", 73,"2017-11-07 04:39:13","Crispy Prosciutto-Wrapped Asparagus","Making this easy, elegant party appetizer is a balancing act between getting crisp prosciutto and overcooking the asparagus. We found that the sweet spot lies in arranging the oven rack 5 or 6 inches below the broiler, blasting the prosciutto-wrapped asparagus spears with heat for just a few minutes, and flipping them halfway through broiling. Serve this fancy finger food with a sparkling wine cocktail. What to buy: For the perfect balance of crispy prosciutto and tender asparagus, choose asparagus spears that are 3/4- to 1-inch thick. Stay away from the pencil-thin or very thick mature spears.","Total: 35 mins", 74,"2017-11-07 04:39:21","Moist Cornbread","A moist, crackly-topped cornbread recipe that calls for ingredients you probably already have lying around in the fridge and pantry.

Simply toss small to medium red or white potatoes, garlic cloves, and fresh rosemary sprigs in olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and roast at the bottom of a hot oven, to form a crispy, beautifully burnished crust. This recipe was based on the potatoes that traditionally accompany Italian Porchetta or Bistecca Fiorentina. They also pair beautifully with just about any fish or meat dish (try them with our Crispy-Skin Chicken Breasts), or are delicious on their own, topped with our simple pesto recipe. Timing note: If you’re making these to serve with our bistecca, start heating the oil a few minutes after you put the steak in the oven. Once the oil heats, add the potatoes and proceed with the bistecca recipe. By the time your steak is done, the potatoes will be nicely crisped and ready to eat.

It starts with a press-in crumb crust that’s filled with a batter made with cream cheese and a little lemon for a balance of sweet and tart. While the cake bakes—no need for a water bath—and then gradually cools to avoid cracks, make the strawberry sauce. When both are chilled, pour the sauce over the cheesecake and serve for birthdays, holidays, or any special occasion. Special equipment: You’ll need a 9-inch springform pan for this recipe. Game plan: The following baking method may seem time-consuming and (admittedly) strange, but it results in a smooth cheesecake without having to use a water bath. If time permits, make this cake a day in advance—it’s best after being refrigerated overnight.","Total: 20 mins, plus 1 hr baking and 6 1/2 hrs cooling and chilling time", 80,"2017-11-07 04:40:30","Basic Cheese Nachos","With only two ingredients, these nachos are a cinch to make.

The key to this dish is the crusty caramelized layer of rice, called socarrat, that forms on the bottom of the pan. While the combination of ingredients ranges from the traditional rabbit and snails to vegetables and seafood, this version, known as paella mixta, contains seafood, Spanish chorizo, and chicken. For more Spanish flair, sip on glasses of sangría while the paella’s on the grill. Special equipment: This dish is named after the two-handled pan it’s cooked in. You’ll need a 15-inch paella pan because its wide surface area ensures that the rice cooks in a thin, even layer. What to buy: Spanish chorizo (not to be confused with its Mexican counterpart) is a dried, smoked, ready-to-eat pork sausage. It can be mild or spicy, and is found at gourmet markets or online. If you can’t find Spanish chorizo, you can sub in some andouille sausage. Paella rice, sometimes labeled bomba or Valencia, is a white short-grain rice prized for its ability to stay firm when cooked. It can be found in gourmet grocery stores. If you can’t find paella rice, Arborio rice can be substituted, although the texture will be slightly softer when cooked.

You can serve a Reuben cold, but we love it toasted in a pan and served warm so that the cheese is melty and the dressing oozes out as you take a bite. What to buy: We like the strong, nutty flavor of Gruyère in this sandwich, but a high-quality Swiss cheese is more traditional.

I also don’t follow any prescribed style of cooking or flavoring, which makes this recipe an easy shortcut for beginners, or people who don’t want to spend hours smoking their ribs. Start with a sweet and spicy rub to coat the meat, and let it sit overnight for the best flavor. In the meantime, make the slightly smoky chipotle barbecue sauce. Roast the ribs in the oven until the meat almost falls off the bone, then finish them on the grill, slathering them with sauce until the ribs are lacquered and slightly charred. Serve with a fresh corn salad and some herby potatoes. Special equipment: You’ll need a pastry brush or barbecue basting brush for this recipe. What to buy: Look for flanken-cut beef short ribs—they’re sliced through the bones, revealing four or five oval-shaped cross-sections. You’ll need ribs that are 2 to 2 1/2 inches thick and 5 to 7 inches long. But don’t worry if you can’t find that exact size or cut: Though their shape is not ideal for grilling, English-cut short ribs (sliced parallel to the rib) can also be used in this recipe. Just monitor the cooking time in step 3—if your ribs are thinner than 2 inches, check them for doneness after about 1 1/2 hours; if they’re thicker than 2 1/2 inches, check them after 2 hours. Game plan: You can make the ribs through step 3 up to 2 days in advance. After roasting, transfer them to a large, shallow container, set aside to cool for about 1 hour, then cover and refrigerate. When you’re ready to grill, remove the ribs from the refrigerator and let them come to room temperature before grilling, about 1 hour. The barbecue sauce can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

The backbone of the Bachelor Pad is a good gin, preferably one with a floral character and some citrus notes, like Bruicchladdich’s “The Botanist”. Cream sherry, a sweeter, darker, and more luscious variety of the classic Spanish fortified wine, along with poppy seed syrup, brings a sweet, nutty dimension to the cocktail. Complementary bright citrus notes come from Combier Pamplemousse Rose, a fragrant fruit liqueur that tastes of ripe red grapefruit, and a little fresh lemon juice. Finally, an egg white is added to lighten and froth up the drink. Be sure to “dry shake” all the ingredients first, which ensures the egg white will be fully incorporated and properly foamy, before adding ice and shaking again to chill the drink. And of course, since the egg white is consumed raw, make sure your eggs come from a trusted, safe, organic source.

In addition to being served as banchan, Korean side dishes presented as part of a meal, it can also be used in a variety of cooked dishes. Try it as a sauce for Brussels sprouts, with braised short ribs, or in Korean tofu soup. The versatility of kimchi makes it great to use in everyday cooking. Game plan: Kimchi needs time to ferment, so we recommend starting a batch about a week before you plan to use it. What to buy: Korean red pepper powder or kochukaru is what gives kimchee its spiciness. It can be found in Korean markets in large resealable plastic bags, in different grades of coarseness and spiciness. Choose a grade based on your personal preference. Also known as saeujeot, Korean salted shrimp are very small, naturally fermented shrimp that impart authentic flavor to kimchi. They are sold in jars and can be found in the refrigerator case of Korean markets. Special equipment: You will need a clean 2-quart or 2-liter glass jar with a tightfitting lid to hold the kimchi while it ferments. Do not use plastic, as the odors from the kimchi can be hard to remove from plastic.","Total: About 25 mins, plus at least 3 1/2 days soaking and fermenting time", 95,"2017-11-07 04:42:42","Vietnamese-Style Summer Rolls with Peanut Sauce","*These light and healthy Vietnamese-influenced summer rolls are filled with cooked shrimp, rice noodles, and plenty of fresh herbs and vegetables for flavor and crunch. Once your ingredients are prepped, the rolling fun begins as sheets of rice paper are softened in water and used for the wrappers. Dipped in a spicy peanut sauce, these rolls are a great hot-weather appetizer or light lunch. What to buy: We like to use natural peanut butter in this recipe. If you use the conventional kind, omit the sugar called for in the sauce. Look for hoisin sauce and chile-garlic paste in the Asian section of your supermarket. For the chile paste, we prefer the one made by Huy Fong Foods (with the rooster on the jar!). The rice stick noodles and rice paper wrappers can be found in most Asian grocery stores. For the wrappers, we like the Red Rose brand. Game plan: Be sure to have all your ingredients ready and easily accessible when you start to roll, and give yourself plenty of time (and counter space) to make these. Also be sure to have a few extra rice paper wrappers on hand—it may take a few tries before you’re rolling like a pro. Store the summer rolls in a dish or plastic container that’s roomy enough to hold them without their touching. Place a damp paper towel in the bottom of the container to keep the rolls moist. Cover tightly with plastic wrap. You can make the peanut sauce a day ahead. Just keep it refrigerated in a covered container. Let it sit for a bit at room temperature before serving. This recipe was featured as part of our summer no-cook recipes, as well as our chile pepper recipe slideshow and our picnic recipe slideshow.","Total: 50 mins", 96,"2017-11-07 04:42:57","Easy Crab Cakes","Like us, you’ve probably eaten a lot of crab cakes in your time. Sadly, this typically involves eating a lot of bad crab cakes: rubbery, filled with starchy fillers like breadcrumbs or mashed potato. It’s a sad truth that some cooks try to stretch a bit of expensive lump crabmeat by bulking out with extraneous stuff. These are different. They’re pretty much pure crab, bound with a little aioli, with a light coating of panko—Japanese-style breadcrumbs, now widely available—for a crispy coating. Make a batch of our Homemade Mayonnaise for the aioli before you begin, or pick up some high-quality store-bought mayo. Make-ahead note: You can prepare these crab cakes ahead of time and reheat just before serving. To freeze, cook as instructed, cool completely, then freeze uncovered until firm. Wrap the frozen cakes well, seal in zipper-top freezer bags, and return them to the freezer. To reheat, set the frozen crab cakes on a baking sheet in a 350°F oven and cook until heated through. We featured these crab cakes in our Valentine’s Day All-Star Recipes photo gallery. For more, check out our Mini Cornbread Crabcakes, Hot Crab Dip, and Corn Fritter recipe.","Total: About 1 hr", 97,"2017-11-07 04:43:06","Chiles Rellenos","Roasted poblano chiles stuffed with loads of cheese, battered with an airy egg coating, and fried until crispy equate to the Mexican version of comfort food. Chiles rellenos fillings can range from ground or stewed meats to a medley of vegetables, but this recipe sticks to classic cheese. Our spicy roasted tomato salsa is the perfect foil to all of the fatty goodness here, but a Smooth Salsa Verde would also be tasty. Game plan: Separate the eggs while they’re still cold, which will make them easier to handle; then let them come to room temperature. And make sure there are no traces of yolk in the whites, or the whites will not whip properly. Coring and removing the seeds from the peppers is easier before roasting and keeps the peppers from tearing while stuffing in the cheese. Roasting over a gas flame keeps the peppers’ shape and texture intact during frying, but if you don’t have a gas stove, use the broiler in your oven (instructions below).

This easy, holiday-ready recipe yields a crunchy, sweet crust and juicy interior—all you need to worry about is getting the best-quality smoked, bone-in ham you can find and that fits the budget (seek out a good butcher or meat counter at a market or grocery store you trust). There aren’t many ingredients in this recipe, so be sure to buy a good ham for the best results. Note that leaving just enough fat on the ham is important for the perfect crunchy crust–to–juicy meat ratio—too much fat and your caramelized crust becomes a flabby mess; too little and your ham has dry spots. So take care when trimming. Serve this holiday classic with Scalloped Potatoes, Buttermilk Biscuits, and Sautéed Brussels Sprouts with Fried Capers.","Total: 2 hrs 25 mins, plus resting time", 100,"2017-11-07 04:49:21","Smoked Barbecue Baby Back Ribs","Rubbed with sugar and spices, these ribs have a good kick to them. Balance their heat by brushing them with a sweet-and-sour Bourbon-Bacon Barbecue Sauce. Special equipment: You’ll need a charcoal grill to turn it into a smoker (or better yet, if you have a smoker, use it). You will also need long heatproof tongs, matches or a lighter, newspaper, 1 disposable aluminum 9-by-5-inch loaf pan, 1 disposable aluminum 8-inch square pan, a baking sheet, 2 oven mitts, 2 buckets of water (one to soak the wood chips and the other to refill the aluminum loaf pan), and an oven thermometer. A chimney starter, which looks like a large beer stein, is handy for lighting charcoal. They can be purchased at hardware stores or online. Lump charcoal is preferred because the charred pieces of wood burn hotter and cleaner than briquettes, the uniform black pillows made from carbonized wood and a starchy binder. If you do buy briquettes, avoid the self-lighting ones, which are laden with chemicals. Buy pure, resin-free, bark-free wood chips. Choose your wood chips based on the origin of the ingredient you are smoking. For example, use cedar chips for Pacific salmon and hickory chips for Southern catfish. For this recipe we recommend apple chips, but any wood will do. Wood chips can be purchased at most hardware stores and grocery stores during the summer months, or online. Game plan: The ribs need to smoke for about 1 1/2 hours. During the last 15 minutes, slather them with barbecue sauce. They can be made ahead and reheated over low heat in a smoker or oven. This recipe was featured as part of our smoking project.","Total: 3 hrs 30 mins", 101,"2017-11-07 04:49:36","Basic Caramelized Onions","Caramelized onions add a sweet and savory note to anything they top.

Jucy Lucy)","Two bars in Minneapolis, Matt’s and the 5-8 Club, have competing claims to being the creator of the infamous Juicy Lucy burger (or Jucy Lucy, depending on whom you’re talking to). However CHOW.com’s Supertaster, James Norton, thinks the Blue Door Pub in St. Paul actually serves the Perfect Jucy Lucy—he explains why in this CHOW video. Whichever version you prefer, these cheese-stuffed burgers ooze cheesy goodness with every bite—and now you can make your own at home. Be sure to aim any cheese drips over your French Fries, and serve with our pickle recipe. What to buy: Fat equals flavor and moisture, so buy high-quality chuck with a fat content of 15 to 20 percent. While American cheese is standard in a Juicy Lucy, other cheeses that melt well, such as mild cheddar or pepper jack, can be substituted. You could even try making your own version of American cheese; Mark McClusky shows you how in this episode of CHOW’s My Go-To Dish video series. Soft hamburger buns (skip brioche or crusty buns) work best with the simple flavors of these burgers. Game plan: Make sure the burger patties rest after cooking so that the juices redistribute in the meat and the cheese isn’t dangerously hot when you bite into the center. If you’re grilling outside, toast the buns right on the grill while the cooked patties are resting. If you’re grilling inside using a grill pan, toast your buns in the oven, because the moisture left in the pan from cooking the burgers will make the buns soggy.

One piece will ruin your cholesterol for a year. This recipe keeps it real, so the true flavor of the cream cheese comes through, with only a little lemon zest in the mix. If you must doctor it, top it off with a simple strawberry sauce. Game plan: The following baking method may seem time-consuming and (admittedly) strange, but it results in a smooth cheesecake without having to use a water bath. If time permits, make this cake a day in advance. It’s best after being refrigerated overnight.","Total: 20 mins, plus 1 hr baking and 2 1/2 hrs cooling time", 107,"2017-11-07 04:54:41","Buttermilk Biscuits and Sausage Cream Gravy","Biscuits and gravy is a classic diner breakfast that’s easy to make at home.

Season it with some cayenne for a subtle kick and serve it with just the biscuits, or add our Basic Scrambled Eggs for a hearty weekend breakfast or brunch.

If you are able to get your hands on top-quality beef, this is a great way to serve it. Try it over a bed of mesclun or served with toast points or french fries as they do at the Polo Lounge. What to buy: Because you will be serving the meat raw, be sure to buy it from a reputable source, and tell your butcher that you will be preparing it as tartare so he or she gives you the best cut. Use pasteurized or very fresh eggs from a reputable source. Game plan: Keep the beef covered and refrigerated until you are ready to use it.

At the dish’s core is meat or poultry braised in a vinegary sauce. This easy, mild version cooks onions, chicken, soy sauce, and vinegar in a slow cooker, and takes advantage of bone-in chicken thighs’ extra flavor from the bones. The onions absorb the savory sauce, and all that’s needed to complete the meal is a pile of steamed rice to soak everything up. Game plan: This recipe gets better as it sits, and can be made up to 1 day in advance. You’ll need to make steamed rice before you serve.

Tender peeled and blanched asparagus spears are seasoned with salt and lemon-infused oil, then joined by several other elegant components: a spinach-derived chlorophyll and pistachio purée, a fluffy granita of frozen and shaved vegetable juices speckled with lovage leaves, and delicate edible flowers from pea and watermelon radish plants. Yes, there are several steps to undertake, but many of them can be performed ahead, and the strikingly pure result on the plate is certainly worth the trouble. If you don’t have a Pacojet and can’t justify buying one, you can use a food processor to blend the pistachios. They won’t have the same perfectly smooth texture you can achieve with the higher-end equipment, but they’ll be good enough for your enjoyment at home. Since you’ll be eating the flowers, make sure they are from a source that guarantees they are free of pesticides and safe for consumption.

Like most chowders, this version has milk, cream, and chunks of potatoes, but to add texture and maximize the sweet corn flavor, some of the corn kernels are blended with milk. Serve this hearty soup for lunch on its own, or for dinner along with a fresh salad. What to buy: If you’re using corn cut from the cob, you’ll need about 4 ears to make 3 cups of kernels. If you’re using frozen corn, you’ll need 1 pound.","Total: 50 mins", 117,"2017-11-07 04:56:18","Parsnip Crisp with Apple-Parsnip Mousse and Apple Caramel","Parsnips and apples have a great affinity for each other, and this stunning recipe from chef Dan Hunter’s Brae cookbook combines them in ways you’ve likely never experienced before. A creamy parsnip-apple mousse anchors a crisp parsnip skin rolled into a golden cone, and everything is garnished with a gorgeously dark apple caramel (infused with a wisp of chamomile), as well as freeze-dried apples both finely grated and cut into chewy chunks. A symphony of textures and gentle sweet-tart flavors, this is a real show-stopper. Naturally, it does take a bit more effort than your standard dessert, but give this a try if you’re feeling ambitious. The gold leaf gelatine called for in this recipe doesn’t refer to anything gilded —instead, “gold” refers to the degree of firmness with which the gelatine will set, and “leaf gelatine” is the form generally preferred by pastry chefs, as it sets clearer and with a smoother consistency than powdered gelatine. Leaf gelatine also does not impart any additional flavor, but allows the other ingredients to come through cleanly.

The exact proportions depend on whether you’re making a coating, a filling, or truffles. This recipe is a standard 1-to-1 weight ratio of chocolate to cream, which is ideal for coating Boston Ice Cream Pie Cake or Espresso Mud Pie. When nearly solid, it can be rolled to make truffles. With only two primary ingredients in ganache, flavor and quality are paramount. We recommend breaking out premium chocolate such as Valrhona and the freshest heavy cream. Game plan: When working with ganache, make sure it’s warm enough to pour. If it’s too stiff, fill a small saucepan with an inch of water and bring it to a simmer over low heat. Set the bowl of ganache over it and melt, stirring, to the desired consistency.","Total: 10 mins", 119,"2017-11-07 04:56:34","Prawns with Nasturtium Leaves and Finger Lime","This is undoubtedly fancy food. You’ll have to source a few uncommon ingredients and spend a little extra time on prep, but it’s all worth it if you want to really impress someone, or just treat yourself to a beautiful, restaurant-quality plate of Prawns with Nasturtium Leaves and Finger Lime at home. From chef Dan Hunter’s new Brae cookbook, this refined recipe calls for sashimi-grade, head-on prawns, the leaves of the edible nasturtium flower, and a finger lime, a miniature citrus fruit with flesh like tangy pearls of caviar you can squeeze right from the rind. The sweet prawn meat joins rich homemade tomato paste, shallots, and chives, and is wrapped up in parcels of peppery nasturtium leaves, which are topped with the finger lime flesh and joined on the plate by luscious barbecued prawn heads basted in a garlic vinaigrette. If you can’t find the finger lime, a spritz of regular lime juice atop the parcels will achieve a similar flavor, if not the same stunning visual effect.

One of our favorites for roasting simply is acorn squash, which has a blackish-green, deeply ridged skin and bright golden flesh. Acorn is not a flashy squash like delicata, or a meaty fall and winter workhouse like butternut, but it’s tender and delicate, with a subtly sweet and earthy flavor that takes well to butter and brown sugar. Here, you begin by splitting an acorn squash lengthwise, scooping the seeds, and cutting a tiny slice from the back of each half so it’ll be stable in a roasting pan. (If you’re shy about whacking the squash in half, you can always microwave it first to make things easier.) Season the cut sides with salt and pepper, and drop just enough butter and brown sugar in the cavities to become a delicious glaze when baked in a hot oven.

You should be able to special order a lamb’s head and tail from your butcher (ask them to clean out the eye sockets too). The head should be around 3 pounds, and the tail 2 to 3 pounds; there’s not much meat on the head, so the tail will add more heft to your meal. If you’re not feeling quite so adventurous, you can make the recipe with a pork shoulder, or even with a leg of lamb instead. Whichever kind of meat you use, it’s marinated in orange juice, cilantro, cumin, ancho chile powder, and oregano, then roasted low and slow until it’s super tender. Fresh masa harina tacos make wonderfully fragrant and pillowy vehicles for the succulent meat, along with its reduced pan juices and whatever accompaniments you like. Mild salsa (like our Pico de Gallo recipe) and sliced radishes are a good way to go, but you can bring cotija cheese, avocado, pickled jalapeños and onions, or fresh cilantro to the party too.
