The following is a recipe for spareribs that have been soaked in a spicy citrus brine and then grilled over indirect heat for about an hour. Why Use a Brine for Ribs? Brining is a useful technique in this case, as it’s easy to overcook pork ribs on a grill, but because the brine plumps up the meat with extra moisture, the ribs are still tender and don’t get as dried out, even if you do end up overcooking them a little....
Cake Batter Up! Funfetti cake is cake with rainbow sprinkles folded into the batter that when baked looks like confetti. That’s why it’s sometimes called confetti cake. It is almost always flavored with vanilla as I do in this recipe, but some bakers, like Molly Yeh, add almond extract to mimic the boxed cake. To ensure the sprinkles pop, the cake itself is typically white or yellow. Yellow cake uses whole eggs—the yolk gives it a yellow hue—while white cake, like in this recipe, relies only on the egg whites....

If the root end is clean, there’s no need to cut off the roots. But if there is any residual dirt on the roots, you’ll want to slice off the roots, while leaving the hard root core in place. Slicing Onions Lengthwise vs. Crosswise When a recipe calls for sliced onions, you have a choice of how to slice them—lengthwise or crosswise. If you are cooking the onions, as for caramelizing them, you’ll likely want to slice them lengthwise, or from root to stem....

In this recipe we first clean and prep the leeks, then boil them in water until just cooked, drain them, and marinate them for several hours (or days) in a vinaigrette with a touch of Dijon mustard. Served at room temperature, the leeks make a lovely salad or side. And given that they love a long marinating time, they’re perfect for making ahead. This recipe comes from my Frenchman Guy (that’s “Gee” with a hard “g”) who grew up eating “poireaux vinaigrette” in France....
According to my farmer friend Ben Scholl, whose peaches I so adore, those are called “sink peaches.” Aptly named. But sometimes, you buy more peaches than you can rightly consume in a reasonable amount of time, and you need to do something with them. You need to make this Skillet Peach Crisp with Ginger and Pecans. And you need to share it, because otherwise you might consume more of it than you rightly should in a reasonable amount of time....

The process is straightforward and repetitive, but it takes a long time. Creating a mature, active starter takes at least two weeks, maybe more depending on the exact conditions in which it is created. I’ve found that more than anything else, a lack of patience is what makes people give up on their Sourdough Starter. At first it may seem like nothing is happening, you’ll question why your starter isn’t rising or why you’re not seeing any changes at all but persevere and you’ll be rewarded with an active starter, one that if cared for will feed you for a lifetime....

The History of Mulled Wine Humans have been drinking heated, spiced wine for a long time, at least since Roman times....
This squash takes so well to roasting – the sweet flesh hardly needs any adornment because it has so much flavor. The skin is also edible, so there’s no need to peel. After roasting, you can cut right through the skin with a fork! I also love that delicata squash cooks more quickly than hardier winter squashes like acorn and butternut squashes. This makes it easy to cook on a weeknight....

Easy to prepare and open to endless toppings, sauces, and spreads, there is always a new and exciting way to enjoy a hamburger. While toppings are important, burger success starts with the right seasoning for the meat. On its own, ground beef is pretty bland so it needs a good seasoning to make it stand out—this is exactly that. You might think a bevy of toppings negates the need for highly seasoned meat....
Think of this new dessert as a cross between a dense, nutty brownie and soft chocolate fudge. It’s a chocolate tart worthy of any gathering or celebration. Because the mixture is so dense and rich, I like to make it into a tart instead of a deep-dish pie. The ratio of chocolate-pecan filling to buttery crust is just perfect. The best chocolate, of course, makes the best chocolate desserts. The tart needs only 3 ounces, so splurging on the good stuff isn’t too cost prohibitive....
I can still remember making a face when thinking I was biting into a yummy potato in one of my mother’s stews I had speared a turnip instead. Yet this dish is another proof point that almost all things taste better with butter and cream! You may want to tie the spices into a sachet or cheesecloth bag — this makes it easier to remove them later. Boil turnips until tender, 15 to 20 minutes, then drain and remove the spices....
