I developed this Crab Salad panini to celebrate the epic match-up between Baltimore and San Francisco in the 47th Superbowl. What better way to do that than with a crab salad panini! Both Baltimore and San Francisco are known for their local crab. In Baltimore it’s blue crab, in San Francisco, Dungeness. The crab salad itself is made with fresh, sweet lump crab meat, parsley, green onion, lemon, mayo, and Tabasco....
How to Make Sweet Potato Soup We adapted this recipe from one in an old issue of Bon Appétit, changing it up slightly—ditching the maple syrup the original called for (the sweet potatoes are sweet enough), and cutting back on the cream. We start the soup by cooking a base of onions, celery, and leeks in butter. Then we add sweet potatoes, chicken stock and spices, simmer for 20 minutes, and purée until smooth....
To make this French toast you first toast squares of bread lightly in the oven, then dip them in an egg-milk mixture, dredge them in crushed Corn Flakes, and bake them in the oven. It’s the Corn Flakes that give this French toast its crunchy-ness. The three sisters, ages 4, 7, and 9, did everything to prepare this meal, while I sat astounded, watching them, lifting not a finger to help....
I’ve made these goat cheese lollipops for many different occasions over the years, from holiday gatherings to cocktail parties. Each time, people ask for the recipe. It’s one of those appetizers that people always remember and request again and again. For me, that’s a sign of success. The “recipe” couldn’t be easier. Just blend fresh goat cheese and cream cheese with a little bit of honey (for a touch of sweetness)....
About 45 million turkeys are harvested each year, according to the National Turkey Federation, to supply our Thanksgiving dinner centerpiece. Turkey, however, is not the easiest protein we could roast for a holiday and has an unfortunate reputation for becoming dry in the oven. When it comes to turkey, what you do before it sees the inside of an oven determines whether your guests request seconds. Follow this handy dandy guide to dry-brining your turkey in order to get the crispiest skin and the most succulent meat....
A habit I brought home from working in a bakery is always lining my cake pans, even when a recipe doesn’t expressly call for it. Lining your cake pans provides some stress-reducing confidence: the cake layers come out of the pan cleanly every time. And for loaf cakes, you can even use the parchment as a convenient handle to lift the cake out easily. Why Should You Line Cake Pans with Parchment Paper?...
And once you know how to make them, you will never have an excuse to not cook sweet potatoes again. Those kids who won’t eat their veggies? Ha! They’ll eat so many of these fries, their skin will turn yellow from beta carotene. Munch. Yum. Munch. Yum. I’m still eating them in my mind. I brought these over for my father to try. I think he only got to eat one or two because he was also eating the rest of his dinner, the dinner I abandoned in favor of these....
I’m not sure what first drew me to rhubarb. Perhaps, it was the name. Rhubarb. It sounds so strange, intriguing, even whimsical. But it isn’t just the name. That color! From the palest pink to dramatic ruby-red. And then there’s the flavor of rhubarb—so sour when raw, magically transformed into something floral and fruity when cooked. This sorbet perfectly captures all that love about rhubarb. Its flavor is touched with a little heat from fresh ginger and a little zing from orange zest which only enhances the pink taste (and I would call the taste pink) of this sorbet ....
This is golden eggplant is the dish I make whenever we have company for dinner and there are vegetarians among us or I feel like something a little lighter is in order. Even the carnivores among us like a meatless meal once in a while, and besides, eggplant is such a meaty vegetable! I roast the eggplant halves in a very hot oven until they char, and then serve them topped them with more vegetables and a yogurt-tahini sauce....
In the class we covered many dishes, but my favorite was the Roasted Parsnips with Horseradish-Herb Butter. I love these parsnips! Note to those who run from horseradish – try it anyway. I can’t distinguish the horseradish from the flavors of the parsnips and butter, and neither could my parents until I told them what was in it. The flavors of the ingredients are a perfect complement to each other....
While they can be eaten raw, they’re often thrown in stir-fries, curries, and omelettes. They taste like the European-American style of green beans but the flavor is sharper and they have a crunchier texture. Incredibly healthy and now widely available in most supermarkets, Farmers’ Markets, and Asian markets, Chinese long beans are a wonderul option for adding to main courses or using for simple side dishes. How To Cook Chinese Long Beans I love to prepare Chinese long beans in a Sichuanese style using Sichuan peppercorns and dried chilies (preferably, a Chinese variety)....

Thai Fish Tacos These Thai Fish Tacos were an instant favorite at our house. I came up with this idea the other night when I was in the mood for Thai but I didn’t want anything too heavy. I had stuff for fish tacos on hand and decided to blend the two. Thai fish tacos… why not? They turned out sooo good! What Type of Fish Works Best? I used frozen fish filets, but of course you can season fresh fish and pan fry it until cooked through....

This loaf is a bit of a project, but well worth it for a special occasion. But something for a special occasion. The buttery dough needs an overnight rise in the refrigerator to render the soft, sticky dough into a manageable shaping consistency (the long rise adds extra flavor, too.) It’s a true labor of love and you will probably cry when you’ve devoured the last slice, but your effort will be lauded to the hilltops by any lucky duck you share it with....
