What if you could create your own stamp just for pasta? Corzetti is a Ligurian pasta known as the beautiful coin-like imprinted pasta. There are so many sfoglinas (female hand-made pasta producers) that make this magic happen in Italy! It’s more than rolling and cutting… it’s about that special tool. For all the Christians out…
I am always scouting that dream kitchen. When I say scouting, I mean window shopping or, more like, Instagram scrolling. It’s a thing I do on a regular; I see a gorgeous kitchen on my feed, and ‘”click” it goes to my saved section. At the moment, I’m not in a position to build a dream kitchen,…
Interview with Malai’s Founder Wouldn’t you want to try ice cream & sorbet infused with decadent intense flavors that make you go “woah” and then “mmmm yum.” Flavors like masala chai, jaggery with tamarind caramel, sweet corn saffron, rose with cinnamon roasted almonds, pineapple pink peppercorn, passion fruit cilantro and sooo many more fabulous combinations…
I am here for all of it! The new cascatelli pasta is just what it seems; toothsome (if cooked well, of course), beautiful, sturdy, and a delicious slope for sauces. It’s a wonderful thing! I wanted to create a dynamic recipe featuring this new baby and it took me a couple tries. Over the summer…
Word on the street is that stovetop mac and cheese is where it’s at. Baked mac and cheese is great, don’t get me wrong, but why all the fuss? I created a version at the PowerHouse test kitchen from a roundup of ingredients. Consider these little vesuvio pasta shapes perfect for mac and cheese. They…
The unofficial official start to summer! And to me that means peak tomato season is approaching but not fast enough. Tomatoes in their prime are like sweet berries that burst in your mouth with juice running down your chin. Pile them in your shirt-basket and try to get inside before eating them all. A little…
I love picking from my parents garden. Maybe I should learn to grow my own things. Also, overgrown fennel fronds will always make it into my salads. Salad for lunch? Get me a sandwich please! Anything but salad. So because I dislike them it takes a good one to get me excited. Creamy dressed salads…
French toast typically isn’t my jam, but I’ll occasionally make it for my people at home. I love a crispy Belgium waffle most, followed by a butter-slathered pancake short stack with the “fake” stuff/ syrup, as I say. I’m making a few rules for myself on this French toast state of mind, and I’ll be…
It’s full-on chocolate “everything” season, and I love a good flourless chocolate cake. They’re easy to dress up or down, making it impressive for you or someone else. I’m also so intrigued by tahini- I could live on it- so I incorporated it into this for a result that’s pretty lovely. Recipe Here
Recipe Scallion pancake egg wrap/ roll-up with Chinese sausage, cheddar cheese, and that GOAT chili oil I won’t stop promoting— makes my tummy happy. I wish I could say these were homemade scallion pancakes although Chimei has me beat. They come frozen & raw so you get to pretend like you’re cooking them in…
