  • Dunsmoor’s Famous Cornbread

    November 20, 2024Rob

    One of Anna’s favorite dishes from one of her favorite restaurants, Dunsmoor. From a KCRW interview with the owner: “What’s the key to great cornbread? You need a hot pan, says chef Brian Dunsmoor. His version, which is based on a recipe by Edna Lewis, one of the greats of Southern cooking, incorporates Anaheim chilies (or Hatch, if you’ve got ’em) and cheddar cheese. And butter. Lots and lots of butter. ‘People have described the butter we put on it as slutty,’ Dunsmoor says with a laugh. He also asserts, ‘Cornbread should not be sweet. You put sweet stuff on top of cornbread.’” There’s…

    NY Times recipe by Nancy Harmon Jenkins who states, “There’s a kind of magic in a summer recipe that you can make wherever you are, provided that wherever you are has, say, flour, butter, an oven and whatever fruit is most glorious is at that very moment. This strawberry shortcake is so simple that you can make it within the hour, and so satisfying that it may become your go-to for summer, the recipe you keep in your back pocket. Strawberries are the classic choice, but this would also be heavenly in high summer with very ripe peaches or any…

    October 1, 2020Rob

    Recipe from Erin Jeanne McDowell who states, “I had tasted a few swamp pies before, but never tried making one until Amanda Hesser posted her recipe for Raspberry Swamp Pie here on Food52. I love that recipe and the creamy, juicy combo of fruit + custard pie it produces. But in my upcoming pie book, I wanted to try a few tweaks. Instead of using a top crust, I use a streusel topping, which gets “flooded” by the custard toward the end of baking. The result is a creamy blueberry crumb masterpiece—unanimously named one of the top five pies in…

  • Indoor Pulled Chicken

    March 30, 2020Rob

    Recipe from America’s Test Kitchen which states, “Do not trim the fat from the chicken thighs; it contributes to the flavor and texture of the pulled chicken. If you don’t have 3 tablespoons of fat to add back to the pot in step 3, add melted butter to make up the difference. We like mild molasses in this recipe; do not use blackstrap. Serve the pulled chicken on white bread or hamburger buns with pickles and coleslaw.”

  • Classic French Toast

    September 17, 2019Rob

    NY Times recipe from Julia Moskin who states, “Here’s a recipe for the kind of French toast people line up for outside restaurants on Sunday morning. It’s simple: no new ingredients, tools or technology needed. You don’t even need stale bread. What you do need is thick-cut white bread, dunked into an egg-milk mixture with extra richness from egg yolks and heavy cream. That gives the French toast a buttery taste and firm but fluffy texture. (Oversoaking is the enemy here; the mixture should fill the bread, not cause it to break.) For an appetizing, lacy brown crust, sprinkle on…

    May 28, 2019Rob

    NY Times recipe from Sam Sifton who states, “We think of ribs as an all-day affair, the meat cooked in smoke and low heat until it begins to pull from the bone. But baby backs are quicker and can be grilled as well, and the result is delicious. This recipe benefits from a basting technique used by the chef and barbecue madman Adam Perry Lang, who thins out his barbecue sauce with water, then paints it onto the meat he’s cooking in coat after coat, allowing it to reduce and intensify rather than seize up and burn.”

  • Blackout Chocolate Cake

    May 14, 2019Rob

    Bon Appetit recipe by Rick Martinez who states, “According to legend (a.k.a. the Internet), this decadent chocolate cake was first created by Ebinger’s bakery in Brooklyn, New York, and named after the blackout drills during World War II. To re-create it, we learned that patience is key: giving all the separate components time to chill yielded the best texture.”

    November 27, 2018Rob

    NY Times recipe from Julia Moskin who states, “When panko, Japanese bread crumbs, first appeared here, American cooks leaped to embrace their spiky crunch. (The first article about it in the New York Times appeared in 1998.) But how could breadcrumbs arrive from Japan, a land without bread? The answer is here, in the lofty, feathery white bread that is a staple at bakeries in Asia — and in Asian bakery chains like Fay Da and Paris Baguette. (Panko is often made from the heels of the loaf, called the “ears” in Japanese.) Milk bread was developed in Japan in…

  • Skillet Chicken Potpie

    October 19, 2018Rob

    NY Times recipe from Alison Roman who states, “Using store-bought puff pastry instead of homemade pie crust for a chicken potpie might seem like cheating, but rest assured it’s for the best, adding shatteringly flaky layers that even the best pie crust lacks. This recipe calls for bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts or thighs, so that the chicken fat rendered from searing can serve as the base of the gravy. But for a weeknight-friendly version, shredded rotisserie chicken can be used instead. Just use a tablespoon or two of butter to replace the fat. (A note about store-bought puff pastry: No…

    May 25, 2018Rob

    NY Times recipe from Sam Sifton who states, “This is an old-school banana pudding down to its bed of Nilla wafers, topped with a quilt of meringue, above a pudding that owes some hold to cornstarch. It is not in any way fancy, though the meringue has its moments. The peaks may weep a little, if you let the dessert sit for a while to draw admiring glances from your guests, but no matter. It’s fantastic inside, where it counts.”

Because America may have contributed to its creation, carbonara is Exhibit A in the back-and-forth between Italy and the United States when it comes to food. Remember: the main goal is creaminess.”

As long as you keep the butter to flour ratio constant (1 stick butter to 1 cup flour), everything else is negotiable. You can reduce or increase the sugar and salt, or mix in any type of flavoring from citrus zest to vanilla to herbs and spices. You can even alter the type of flour, swapping in some rice flour for all purpose flour for increased crunch, or cornmeal for a nubby…

  • Cast-Iron Steak

    May 8, 2017Rob

    NY Times recipe from Julia Moskin who writes, “This isn’t steakhouse steak; it’s your-house steak, ideal for home cooks who want fast weeknight meals. The rules are simple: buy boneless cuts (they cook evenly), thinner steaks (they cook through on top of the stove), dry them well (to maximize crust), then salt and sear them in an insanely hot, preferably cast-iron pan. The recipe here is a radical departure from the conventional wisdom on steak, which commands you to salt the meat beforehand, put it on the heat and then leave it alone. Instead, you should salt the pan (not…

    NY Times recipe from Sam Sifton who states, “Barbecued chicken isn’t, really: It’s grilled rather than smoke-roasted at low temperature. But it requires a similar attention to technique. You’ll want to move the pieces around on the grill to keep them from burning, and flip them often as well. Cooking barbecued chicken benefits from a basting technique used by the chef and outdoor cooking maven Adam Perry Lang, who thins out his sauce with water, then paints it onto the meat he’s cooking coat after coat, allowing it to reduce and intensify rather than seize up and burn.”

It makes a great brunch dish, served with fresh fruit compote. Or add a handful of chocolate chips before baking for a decidedly more decadent outcome.”

It is an ideal replacement for traditional homemade bread, and it is also high in protein. So how do you make it? All you need is three ingredients: eggs, cream cheese and cream of tartar.
