Brown stew chicken might seem like a snooze of a name for a recipe, but don’t be fooled—Jamaica’s signature marvel of a dish offers a galaxy of flavors that explains its massive fan base on the island and among the country’s expats. In other words, the name of this chicken thigh dinner may underdeliver in terms of the “wow” factor, but overdelivers at first bite. Why the cult-like devotion? The dish’s components—and how they’re assembled and cooked—delivers a master class […]
It’s the end of August, and it seems like everyone’s out-of-office messages are on. It’s wonderful to take a break from day-to-day stressors and indulge in little luxuries. Going out to eat every day of vacation can be expensive, though, and if you’re staying in a rental, you might want to take advantage of your place’s kitchen and dining area. Cooking in an unfamiliar kitchen poses its own issues: Nothing is where it should be, the stove runs extra-hot and […]
There might be some rogue nights when we’re willing to take on a cooking project, like red-wine-braised short ribs or fresh semolina pasta. But most of the time we’re looking for speedy mealtime solutions (yes, we BA editors are just like you). These 30-minute dinner ideas are the ones we turn to time and time again—the faithful hits for when it’s 7 p.m. and we’re already starving. Make no mistake, though, quick is by no means synonymous with boring: Our […]
A pair of Roman-inspired pasta dishes. If you’ve never tried to make homemade pasta, it really couldn’t be easier than this recipe for pici – little pasta worms with a wonderfully bouncy texture. I’d usually serve them Padella-style with cacio e pepe, but, in a nod to getting one of my five-a-day into dinner, here they’re paired with an easy broccoli and walnut pesto. Pasta with chickpeas and rosemary is another Roman classic, which I’ve taken great liberties with, adding […]
Comment on this storyComment Butter is butter, right? Not quite. As familiar as we all are with the ingredient — drizzled on popcorn, mixed in baked goods, mashed with potatoes or simply slathered on a piece of bread — not all butters are created equal. Sure, you’re aware of salted and unsalted sticks (the unsalted variety is typically used in cooking and baking), and may even be familiar with the difference between American- and European-style butters (the latter have a […]
Good morning. There’s some very nice writing about recipes in The New York Times Magazine this week, not surprisingly under the byline of Ligaya Mishan. Her subject is a hummus recipe (above), dating back to 13th century Syria, that Lucien Zayan of the Invisible Dog Art Center in Brooklyn served at a dinner series he runs, la Salle A Manger. We don’t have a lot of recipes that are so old. In fact, Ligaya reports, there is no documentation of […]
Nothing quite says summer in the food world like tomato season. Whether it’s homegrown picked and eaten straight off the vine, or a perfectly plump, juicy farmers market find, the fruit commonly misidentified as a vegetable is the perfect summertime ingredient. While the current growing season has been a bit off in some areas around the U.S., the vibrant fruits are finally at their peak, which to many chefs and home cooks signals the start of something delicious — tomato […]
Comment on this storyComment On any given day at the height of tomato season, the lunch I whip up for myself might be a juicy heirloom tomato cut into wedges, drizzled with olive oil, sprinkled with flaky salt and plated with a scoop of tuna or chicken salad, perhaps with a slice of sourdough bread to soak up the juices. It’s a simple and satisfying no-brainer of a meal. But hankering for something a little less basic, and having several […]
Summer is not a time for spending too long in the kitchen. Cook we must, though, as eat we always will, so here are some dishes to make you want to get cooking, quickly, before getting out, just as quickly, eating well and then assuming a horizontal position somewhere under a tree. Harissa pilchards with zingy herb salsa (pictured top) Tinned fish makes one of easiest, tastiest, quickest and most cost-effective meals, and I often use it straight from the […]
