Small with shiny crimson skin, cranberries have a bouncy quality to them (they were called “bounceberries” for a while), and they can float, thanks to the four air pockets inside. As objects, cranberries are fun; as fruits, they’re punchy! Bite into a raw cranberry and you’ll feel a little snap; their flesh is firm and dry and crisp. The flavor is tart, tart, tart, but even that can be fun....

Why Candied Yams are The Best Thanksgiving Side Dish Candied yams are like a little preview of dessert, a treat for the sweet tooth before the serious business of pies and ice creams begin in earnest. As an adult, I now realize that candied yams properly occupy the middle position between the mashed potatoes and the cranberry sauce. Potatoes are starchy and rich with butter and cream, while the cranberry sauce is sweet and intensely tart....

I think the moment my father spied this recipe in the New York Times he was a goner. (“You had me at chocolate.”) Nothing was going to stop him from making this cake. When he found out I possessed a 10-cup Bundt pan, that was it, he was halfway to the store getting chocolate and instant espresso for the recipe. Reading Melissa Clark’s chocolate whisky cake recipe we both decided that 1/2 cup of Bourbon, instead of the full cup she used, would do....

It’s great for parties since you can make it ahead of time, and a good excuse to drink gin at brunch. What’s not to like? Why Is It Called a French 75? The French 75 first appeared in print in 1927 and was named for a field gun popular during World War I, supposedly because it packed a similar punch. The French 75 is not a particularly strong drink, but it’s so light and refreshing – with the herbal flavors of the gin and the grape flavors of the Champagne complementing one another so beautifully – that you might be tempted to finish yours very fast....

I don’t know how they celebrate St. Patrick’s Day in the Emerald Isle, but it amuses me to no end that here in the States we get decked out in green (lest we invite a pinch), make corned beef and cabbage, and enjoy Ireland’s most celebrated foamy export—Guinness extra stout. You know St. Pat’s is close at hand when the grocery stores start stacking cases of it. It’s malty, hearty, and rich....
Many chefs prefer a water stone to an oil stone – water is more convenient and facilitates a faster knife sharpening. For this guide, we will be referring to water stones when using the term “whetstone.” How Do I Use a Whetstone? Whetstones come in different types of materials and coarseness. Coarse grit stones can be used on duller knives that need significantly more upkeep. Fine grit stones fine-tune the knives for greater precision and polishing....

It’s nearly impossible to get breakfast and lunch on the table. It’s not you, it’s us. Because our routines have gone out the window, and we come and go as we please, we’re all hungry at different times.
