10+ Best Single Malt Scotch Whisky Brands 2021

Posted in New

If you don't fancy yourself a whisky connoisseur quite yet, here's a quick rundown of everything you should know before picking out a single malt scotch for yourself. Though the name may make you assume otherwise, single malt scotch whisky can be produced anywhere in the world, not just in Scotland.

While margaritas are objectively delicious, tequila can be used for other mixed cocktails and enjoyed neat or on the rocks. But, first things first, we need to go through a little background behind the three main types of tequila: blanco, reposado, and añejo. The difference is all in the aging process. As the name suggests, blanco tequila is the clearest in color and goes well in mixed drinks or as a complement to Mexican dishes. This longer aging process gives it more complex flavors that can be better appreciated when sipped alone rather than mixed into a cocktail.

A Can of Soup Is the Secret to These Stew-y Spiced Baked Eggs

Creamy soups, chunky soups, noodle soups, bisques—I probably could have named the column Three Eggs and a Soup and still had enough to work with for a few months of meals. But I love lentils in any form, especially with eggs, so that seemed as a good a jumping-off point as any. To key to this easy baked eggs recipe is beginning with as blank a canvas as you can find—that is, the most boring and plain-looking can of lentil soup that your local grocery store has to offer (like this one from Amy’s). Save the “Lentil + Vegetable,” “Golden Lentil,” “Butternut and Lentil,” “Creamy Lentil,” and “Sausage & Lentil” for another time: Today is all about “Lentil,” no flair, nothing extra.

So when I came across the cauliflower and cabbage gratin in Scandinavian Green, the new plant-forward cookbook by Danish chef Trine Hahnemann, I immediately flagged the page. This casserole is not the dump-and-stir sort—the sauce is made from scratch and the vegetables are blanched in salted water prior to assembly. To make it, you whisk the poaching liquid from your cabbage and cauliflower into a simple roux (flour and melted butter; whisk it in by the half-cupful to avoid lumps). Stir the chopped, blanched cabbage and cauliflower into the yolk-enriched sauce, and finally fold in the beaten egg whites.

(Also, garlic chips and garlic oil make incredible leftovers; see below for suggestions.) (Ponseca's recipe calls for four cups of cooked rice; if you're starting from scratch, figure 1 1/4 cups of uncooked grain.) You can enjoy it as is, but my favorite way to eat sinangag is topped with a fried egg. Use It UpYou’ll have extra garlic chips and garlic oil; store them in separate airtight containers in the fridge for up to seven days.

A Gingery, Fizzy, Smoky Cocktail for New Year’s Eve

The time feels right to make a French 75 (gin, lemon, sugar, and fizz) or classic Champagne cocktail (fizz, plus a bitters-soaked sugar cube). It’s really not that complicated to find your signature sparkling drink. What she means is that you should feel empowered to take (almost) any cocktail you like and add sparkling wine. The Penicillin cocktail is a gingery, honey-sweetened scotch drink that’s so beloved that many folks assume it’s a classic. But with each toast, and each sip, the citrus and sparkling wine shine through, a bright light like a brand new year.

A Lemony Cranberry Pie For a Brighter Thanksgiving

Posted in Featured

What I will point out, however, is that the easiest pie you’ll ever make for Thanksgiving is this lemony cranberry number. The cranberry pie recipe comes from Epi contributor Sarah Jampel, who adores chess pie and was looking to offer a Thanksgiving option that’s as easy as clafoutis—the eggy fruit-studded French dessert. What makes this Thanksgiving pie a true standout, though, is the cranberries. The result is a pie with a crackly—nearly crusted—golden top adorned with jewellike pops of bright red cranberry. It’s a simple setup devised to make Thanksgiving 2020 a deliciously calm holiday, but if you find yourself turning to it (and to this cranberry pie recipe) again in years to come, we wouldn’t be surprised.

A New Frosted Flakes Flavor Will Be Hitting Shelves This Year

Posted in New

If you were one of the people who felt cheated when Kellogg's discontinued their Cinnamon Frosted Flakes release, then buckle up, because the ride isn't over just yet. The iconic brand, which released Mashups, Frosted Flakes with Marshmallows, and cereal bars all in 2020, just announced the release of a "new" flavor: Frosted Flakes with Crispy Cinnamon Basketballs. Slated to be a true slam dunk, the new variation will still include the classic sweet frosted flavor of Frosted Flakes, but will also include mini cinnamon-dusted basketball-shaped pieces that pack a huge crunch. And, to add a little more insult to injury, they'll only be around for a limited time—which means you'll probably want to stockpile as many boxes as you can once April rolls around.

Aunt Jemima Has A New Name, Pearl Milling Company

PepsiCo announced this week that it has officially changed the name of its Aunt Jemima pancake and syrup products to Pearl Milling Company. The company said that Pearl Milling Company was founded in 1888 in St. Joseph, MO, and was the originator of the self-rising pancake mix that would later become known as the Aunt Jemima brand.

Best Microwave Baked Potato Recipe

You'll need to clean your potato first, especially if you like to eat your baked potato with the skin on. With a fork, stab your potato all over: this helps the steam escape during the heating process to prevent a potato explosion inside your microwave, and helps the potato take on a fluffier texture when cooked. We like a traditional russet potato for our baked potato, but you can really give any tuber variation this same treatment—depending on the size and density of your potato, cooking times will vary. Of course, if you still want to actually bake your baked potato in an oven, we've got you covered there too. Leave us a rating and maybe a picture of your "baked" potato too!

Bill Gates Wants Us To Eat 100% Synthetic Beef. He Has a Point.

Bill Gates suggests synthetic beef like Beyond Meat is a key part of climate action. The Microsoft cofounder and chair of the investment fund Breakthrough Energy Ventures recently suggested that “all rich countries should move to 100 [percent] synthetic beef” in an interview with MIT Technology Review. Why is Gates, a direct and indirect investor in brands like Beyond Meats and Impossible Foods, pushing for synthetic meat—particularly synthetic beef—as a climate solution? In wealthier nations, then, synthetic beef is a good place to start to solve that protein problem—and slow the effects of climate change, too. “I do think all rich countries should move to 100 percent synthetic beef.

Can the Proclamation Duo Pan Really Do It All?

Posted in Featured

I used the Proclamation Duo over the course of a few months, folding it into my regular cooking routine. I roasted, I braised, I pan-fried, I sautéed, and I boiled, all to find out if these were really the only two pans I needed. The Hybrid pot was also ideal for searing thanks to its aluminum core stainless steel body, which provided consistent, even heat distribution. The problem areasProclamation claims that their pans are “lightweight,” but the carbon steel Sidekick skillet weighs around six pounds and the Hybrid pot weights four pounds, meaning that, when used together as a Dutch oven, the Proclamation Duo weighs a whole 10 pounds. If those are your metrics, perhaps the Proclamation Duo qualifies as lightweight.

Chef John's Make-Ahead Turkey Gravy

I felt that 10 cups of water was too much for a couple of turkey wings and adjusted to 31/2 cups of water and 3 1/2 cups of canned chicken stock. The only difference is that I use 6 or 8 turkey wings because there isn't much fat on a wing, and I use chicken or turkey broth instead of the water. It's my favorite gravy recipe. I ended up with 7 cups of gravy at the end because I used 14 cups of water at the broth-making stage.

Chewy Brownies: How to Make Them

Posted in All Recipes

It made me think: Two eggs and 1¼ cups of sugar must be the ultimate egg-to-sugar ratio for a properly chewy brownie. Weller has since ditched this extra step, claiming that the high oven temperature, short bake time, and general ratio of ingredients do enough work already to produce wonderfully chewy brownies. Whether or not you choose to live by the Steve Ritual, there’s one thing you can’t deny: Medrich’s brownies chew. The conversation surrounding cakey brownies versus fudgy brownies goes way back, but the research on chewy brownies is surprisingly minimal. Next, I asked them if they prefer chewy brownies or cakey brownies; the results were overwhelming in favor of the former (89% for chewy, and just a small but vocal 11% for cakey).

Crustless Spinach Quiche

Eggs and Potatoes Will Carry You Through

Sénégalais staples are rooted in rice, fish and vegetables, ingredients that get expressed and remixed into tantalizing works of art. Yet my desire for variety is always constant, which is why I recently found myself reaching for a few fresh eggs and potatoes: items that have infinite levels of versatility. There, one can purchase all of the basic necessities, such as gas canisters, onions, rice, and credit to place calls. I calculate each step with precision, considering the faulty infrastructure and unpredictable sand (there is no dirt in Senegal, just sand). I headed to the boutique with intentions of pasta and garlic oil for lunch (lunch is the biggest meal of the day), but managed to catch the eggs on a side glance.

Fast Food Chains Turn To Ghost Kitchens

Posted in Favorites

This has meant many food providers have had to get creative, including increasing the presence of so-called dark kitchens, also called ghost or cloud kitchens. Restaurants, caterers, and fast food chains can rent out space in facilities designed to make food specifically for delivery or catering. Wendy's has been an adopter of ghost kitchens around the world, and Chick-fil-A has also used them in the past. A recent TikTok noted a few other popular "ghost kitchens" and Denny's announced this week that it would be testing two new "virtual brands" this year. It's worth noting that some people have mixed feelings about so-called "ghost kitchens," specifically ones that have different names than their parent restaurants.

For the Best Vegetarian Ramen, Roast Your Squash With Miso

And that’s why the next time I make pumpkin soup, I’m coming back to this brilliant new recipe from Epi contributor Hetty McKinnon. Or, take McKinnon’s next step: Purée a portion of the roasted squash with more miso and a ginger-and-garlic enhanced vegetable broth. The final broth is thinner than your average puréed pumpkin soup, but silkier, with a bit more body than the usual miso ramen broth. You’ll need to boil some salted water to briefly cook some bouncy fresh ramen noodles. It’s also easy to blanch extra broccolini (to toss with a spicy vinaigrette), roast extra squash (for a fall-favorite sandwich), or both (to make quick work of a seedy hummus bowl) for later in the week.

For the Crispiest, Crackliest Roasted Potatoes, You Need Egg Whites

Posted in All Recipes

I’ve spent most of my adult life being wary of roasted potato recipes. Instead, what matters is the type of potato and the addition of one special ingredient: Egg whites. “The egg whites help to create an herby, salt-and-pepper coating on the potatoes,” Kluger explained to me on the phone. All you need to do is whip two egg whites, using a whisk, in a bowl until they’re foamy (and there’s no liquid remaining in the bowl). Then put the coated potatoes in a strainer and discard the excess egg whites.

Forget Mini Kitchen Torches, a Full-Size Torch Is So Much Better

In my cooking life—both as a professional chef and as a home cook—I have frequently used a small kitchen torch. For real flaming help in the kitchen, though, I much prefer a full-size blowtorch.

Growing Citrus Indoors Is Possible—Here’s How

Posted in New

Growing citrus indoors is a hobby that requires a certain amount of care, and some may not find it fulfilling or worthwhile. But growing a citrus tree inside is not impossible, and people, like my colleague Joey Hernandez at Bon Appétit, actually love doing it. Citrus trees also do not like to be near drafty windows and radiators because they’re sensitive to temperature fluctuations. Citrus trees need natural day/night temperature fluctuations in order to bloom, so leaving your tree indoors year-round likely won’t cut it. While it may seem like a lot, it hasn’t kept countless people around the world from caring and growing their own citrus indoors for centuries.

Hot Tip: For a Pumpkin Pie That Doesn’t Crack, Cool It in the Oven

Posted in All Recipes

Claire Saffitz has made a lot of pumpkin pie. As a lifelong lover of pumpkin pie and then as a food editor in the Bon Appétit Test Kitchen, she’s cooked through more iterations of the Thanksgiving classic than you can imagine. “What I don’t like,” she told me in a recent phone call, “is when pumpkin pie tastes like baked purée with too many spices and not enough eggs.” Good pumpkin pie, she says, is custardy, but not stodgy: The slices should have a “slight quiver.” Her recipe gets you there. But even if you already have a go-to recipe you love, Saffitz has a tip that can be applied to any pumpkin pie: Let it cool in the oven. Saffitz also says you should keep your pumpkin pie out of the refrigerator at all costs—at least until after you slice it.

How Erick Williams Created the Perfect Thanksgiving Mac and Cheese

Posted in Trending

Chef Erick Williams used to look forward to Thanksgiving as the day when he'd eat that special, once-a-year food: a bowl of cereal. For all of his ambivalence about celebrating Thanksgiving, Williams is nevertheless very opinionated about how Thanksgiving food should taste. And the mac and cheese—well, the mac and cheese wasn’t on the chef’s mind, because up until a few years ago he’d never been a fan. But when he started planning the menu for Virtue, where he serves American southern food, Williams had to face mac and cheese straight on. That’s not my jam.’”Williams knew that few dishes conjure as much emotion as a mac and cheese.

How to Bake on a Budget

I learned the art of baking on a budget at a very young age. In my family, as long as we had flour, butter, sugar and eggs on hand, we were always baking. It was then that I found that baking can be fun and delicious even if you’re on a limited budget. You will need to purchase measuring spoons, measuring cups, a whisk, a sturdy heatproof rubber spatula or spoon, and a large mixing bowl. You don’t always need to buy top-of-the-line (Epi’s reviews often offer budget picks for these items), but quality pans are a sensible investment.

So you'll want to start your order by asking for an iced venti green tea latte with coconut milk then you'll ask your barista for some lemonade and vanilla bean powder. If you prefer your drinks warm in the winter months, you can order this drink with the same customizations and ask for a venti green tea latte to start rather than the iced version.

How to Turn Your Kitchen Table Into a Home Office Space—and Back Again

Posted in All Recipes

I thought my kitchen table was a multiuse zone before I started working from home; now the small space is a home office, dining area, photo studio, and video conference call command center, often all at the same time. The best work from home setup (that isn't in a designated office space) needs to be comfortable, functional, and most importantly, removable. The Betterback seat support keeps its shape regardless of the chair you use it with, so even a kitchen table bench can become a comfortable work station.

How to Turn an Almost-Empty Peanut Butter Jar Into Dinner

Posted in New

A jar of peanut butter that used to last at least a month in my single life now disappears in just one week. I don't ever want to be the kind of partner who hides the peanut butter jar. Like making peanut butter sauce with the teeny bit left in the bottom of each jar. Warm water is best because it helps to loosen the nut butter more quickly, and generally equal parts nut butter to liquid is the best ratio. And luckily, now I've learned to always have a backup jar of peanut butter in the house.

In my pick for 2020’s recipe of the year, Meera Sodha taps into the iconic flavor combination—which is the backbone of the Bombay sandwich, a beloved Indian street food—for the Bombay rolls in her latest cookbook. Sodha’s book is called East, and it is (though she had no way of knowing or planning for this) the perfect book for right now. The Bombay rolls, like the ingredient dream team they’re based around, manage to check a startling number of flavor and textural boxes. They’re cheesy, crunchy, spicy, bright, buttery—and thanks to a bit of brilliance on Sodha’s part, flaky as well. Grated sharp cheddar cheese and thinly sliced red onion round out the ingredient list, sprinkled generously over the top.

So far, however, nothing has even come close to dethroning the undisputed queen of alternative dairy in my house: the old-school, earthy-crunchy, cardboard box favorite that is Edensoy Organic. Edensoy is the soy milk brand from Eden Foods, an organic foods company that started as a grocery co-op among friends in Ann Arbor, Michigan in 1968. In addition to its complete line of soy milks, I’m a big fan of Eden's apple-cherry butter, black sesame tahini, and many specialty Japanese ingredients. To me, unsweetened Edensoy soy milk is the perfect all-purpose milk alternative. In the mid-90s to early 2000s, that ingredient was soy, maligned for its purported relationship to a handful of health problems.

Leftover Cranberry Sauce Is the Key to This Swirled Snacking Cake

Unlike a can of pumpkin purée, which I’m happy to eat in the form of muffins or a loaf cake any time between August and January, canned cranberry sauce has a very narrow window of opportunity for use. This is a simple recipe for a snacking cake, the kind of easy unfrosted treat that works just as well for breakfast as it does an afternoon pick-me-up. The cake batter gets orange too, in the form of zest rubbed into the sugar. This step helps ensure that the zest is incorporated evenly throughout the cake and doesn’t clump in one spot. Spoon your cranberry in spots across the top, then use a knife to swirl the batter and sauce together.

Mango Purée Is Not Just for Drinks

Posted in Featured

The minute the container of mango purée arrived at my front door, I started to regret volunteering. Most mango purée you can find at the grocery store is made from a mix of mango and sugar; the ingredients list will often note a percentage of each, most commonly 90% mango and 10% sugar. An obvious use for mango purée (which many of the labels specify) is in drinks. To me, cocktails were mango purée table stakes, the arena where I was sure the ingredient would shine. Because sweetened mango purée has about twice the sugar content of standard applesauce, you’ll have to adjust recipes accordingly; for this loaf, for example, I reduced the added sugar by half and swapped in mango purée in the same amount as the applesauce.

Milk Powder Is the Key to Better Cookies, Brownies, and Cakes

Posted in Favorites

But recently, I learned that there is a single ingredient that can make almost every baked good better: milk powder. Milk powder, also called powdered milk (not to be confused with malted milk powder), is what happens when you evaporate all the liquid out of milk—it’s essentially milk in its most concentrated form. What’s more, milk powder is ideal for the baking-heavy times we’re in: its low moisture content means that you don’t have to refrigerate it—it can sit in your pantry for more than a year. Chef Christina Tosi, author of Momofuku Milk Bar and Milk Bar: Kids Only, says she can’t think of a dessert that milk powder wouldn’t improve. “Milk powder has an amazing way of adding a terrific baseline flavor,” she explains.

Mistakes Everyone Makes When Reading A Recipe

I'm sure you've heard it before, but reading a recipe through multiple times before ever starting it is extremely important. Reading through a recipe before starting it will also give you the time to look up different techniques or instructions that you may not understand. "One cup pecans, chopped" is different from "one cup chopped pecans." ...You're allowed to be upset, of course, but if you substitute more than three items in a recipe, then you have officially changed the recipe. This brings us back to our #1 tip of reading the recipe before you start: The recipe will indicate how you need to divide the ingredient and, of course, when you’ll be using it.

We get it, you got mesmerized by how half-and-half swirls into your iced coffee. It's a good rule of thumb to use if you're going rogue and making your own order so you don't overdo it.

Otherwise, they'd leave you space for all that in your grande cup and you'll get shorted a few ounces.

Olive Oil Makes Great Cakes, and This Recipe Is Proof

Posted in New

Where butter is sweet, milky, and often in the background of a cake’s flavor, olive oil is earthy, grassy, and bold. An olive oil cake will always have a savory edge, sometimes even a backnote of bitterness, that a butter cake will lack. Which brings us to another benefit of olive oil cakes: longevity. “I think olive oil cakes kind of get better with age,” says Elizabeth Quijada, the pastry chef at Abraço, a New York City coffee shop that is known for their olive oil cake. Olive oil cake is the only thing we're eating for breakfast now.

Not All Great Bread Is Sourdough and This Loaf Proves It

Posted in New

Sourdough enthusiasts may consider straight doughs to have less flavor, character, and aroma than breads made with a natural starter or pre-ferment. The raised eyebrows that straight doughs receive are an important part of the definition. “In 1980, when I [opened the bakery Bread Alone], nobody had a clue about sourdough, and neither did I,” says Leader. A few years ago, while on research trips for Living Bread in Europe, Leader saw just how significantly Robertson’s book (and bread) had influenced the culture. But the intense focus on sourdough, and specifically Tartine’s sourdough, has made bread-baking look more and more like a monoculture.

Ottolenghi Flavor Is the Cookbook Thrill We Need This Winter

Crisp-edged and pillow-middled, and always with an imperfect swoosh to them—the typical relaxed look that hides how fiddly Ottolenghi’s flavors can be to capture at home. In his latest book, the vegetarian Ottolenghi Flavor, cowritten with brilliant recipe developer Ixta Belfrage and longtime collaborator Tara Wigley, the flavors and techniques have evolved. Still far from gluttonous, but glamorous all the same, Ottolenghi’s vegetables, all gussied up, will carry us through till spring.

East Asian flavors have appeared in previous books, and in Flavor, Mexican, Cuban, Brazilian, and Italian ingredients often come to play.

R-Rated Onions

Posted in New

Real and true caramelized onions are onions don’t take 10 minutes to cook. Other caramelized onions are PG…these are rated R. It takes the better part of an hour to coax their sugars from blonde to nutty brown. Manipulated in the best kind of way by steam heat, then dry heat over a longer period of time than I’m typically keen to require in a multi-part recipe, caramelized onions are a leisurely labor of love that loves you back. Like a perfect stock or just the right amount of MSG, onions cooked low and slow until their sugars deepen and their flavor shape-shifts lend a hard-to-quantify but easy-to-appreciate dimension to food. And in less scene-stealing appearances, caramelized onions show us that a simple ingredient coddled a certain way can give a flimsy dish a sultry backbone, or make a one-note meal all grown-up.

Real Caramelized Onions, Your Time Is Now

In her new book This Will Make It Taste Good, Vivian Howard confesses to having guided readers down a false path—she says her first book instructs them at least 25 times to “cook onions until caramelized, about 10 minutes.”But true caramelized onions—real caramelized onions—take far longer than 10 minutes to achieve. Let’s call it Weeknight Caramelized Onions or Quick Caramelized Onions (henceforth QCO). But then there are real caramelized onions (RCOs). Now, says Howard, is an ideal time to “nail down [a technique] you might never have pursued otherwise.”A time lapse of caramelized onions from 0 minutes to 60 minutes. At 30 minutes you’ll see that the onions have relaxed even further—as if they’ve had just one sip too many at a cocktail party.

That means you can easily add pasta water into sauces, or use produce-rinsing water to water plants.

The Best Bottles for Your Nonalcoholic Bar If You Love Bitter Drinks and Aperitivi

You only need a small amount to transform a glass of seltzer into a crisp, bitter, remarkably refreshing predinner beverage. Aecorn Bitter is made with Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier grapes, plus loads of bitter citrus, including grapefruit and Seville orange. Versin Rojo Non-Alcoholic Vermouth AlternativeThis nonalcoholic vermouth alternative tastes like a mix of apple cider, grape juice, and bitters. Unlike the bright red bitter sodas of Italy, these aren’t sweet at all, and they’re truly refreshing. And while vanilla-laced sweetness is definitely a big part of the flavor, it has a refreshing bitter, herbal undercurrent that’s bolder and crisper than many of the other options.

The Best Fancy Halloween Candy to Buy for Yourself

Posted in Favorites

A few years ago, my parents moved from the high-traffic, kid-friendly neighborhood where I grew up to a quieter part of town, and they immediately became the kind of people who give out full-size candy bars on Halloween. The moral of this story is that the fewer people you’re supplying candy to on Halloween, the more you should ball out. What is Halloween in 2020 if not an excuse to buy the fanciest candy you can find? You deserve the primo chocolate bars and best gummies around, the ones you’d usually pass over for being a bit too deluxe on a regular day. This is the year we plan our fancy Halloween candy consumption weeks in advance.

The Best Heated Seating (and Insulated Seats) for Eating Outdoors

Low-cost sleeping pads do a similar job and can be placed under an outdoor picnic blanket to shield you from the cool ground below.

The Best Instant Pot For You: A Comprehensive Guide to Every Size and Model

Posted in Favorites

But finding the best Instant Pot model for your unique cooking needs is a more involved task than it may seem. Though every Instant Pot model has the same basic multi-cooking functionality that made it a household favorite, some are more versatile than others. The 6-quart Instant Pot is the most popular option—many recipes call for a 6-quart Instant Pot, and a meal cooked in the 6-quart variety feeds 3–6 people. Each Instant Pot has a minimum of five built-in smart programs (pressure cook, slow cook, sauté, and keep warm) that make up its multi-functionality. Since each Instant Pot model is a little different, it's important to read the manual and learn about the various features and settings of your Instant Pot.

The Best Non-Dairy Yogurt for Baking

Posted in All Recipes

Yogurt is often the ringer ingredient in a baked good, the unassuming addition that is actually doing way more work than it seems. At least, until now, because I convinced my workplace to let me test ten of the leading brands to determine the very best non-dairy yogurt for baking. Yogurt makes baked goods moist and tender, with a subtle and balancing tang. It’s also important to note the style of yogurt that a recipe requires; Greek yogurt, which has less whey and more protein than regular yogurt, makes for a thicker batter and puffier, more structured end result. I also liked this recipe because aside from the yogurt, it is entirely dairy-free; I didn’t want to judge a baked good that relied on other milk products to work out.

The Best Plant-Based Dairy Brands

Posted in New

The journey started fifteen years ago: Faced with a daughter who developed a severe milk allergy as a toddler, I began seeking, tasting, and testing plant-based dairy products. For many years, it was that plant-based dairy largely failed to mimic the real thing in terms of texture, taste, and/or performance in cooking and baking. Plant-based dairy is now as mainstream in American supermarkets as the stuff from cows, and it’s among the fastest-growing food categories worldwide. Here in America, the plant-based dairy market grew nearly 30% in the last decade. The most common ingredients you’ll find in vegan dairy include coconut, coconut oil, tree nuts, oats, rice, olive oil, and avocado oil.

The Best Turkey Leg Recipe for 2020 Will Convince You Dark Meat Is the Way to Go

Posted in All Recipes

Epi Test Kitchen director Chris Morocco has a confession—although it didn't take much prodding to get it out of him when I asked about his newest Thanksgiving recipe. “I can't stand roasted dark meat turkey,” he told me. For me—and I think for many turkey lovers—the dark meat is where the party starts on a bronzed bird fresh out of the oven. To remedy that, Chris based his new Thanksgiving turkey leg recipe on duck confit, but pulled in aromatics from the Mexican pantry to add warmth and deep, savory flavor. Kendra also says to take note of the garlic confit that cooks with the turkey, but isn't used for serving.

Potato ricerA potato ricer is widely regarded as the best tool for mashed potatoes that are smooth and fluffy. But Sevier says his mom breaks out the hand mixer every time she makes mashed potatoes, and they are, I’m quoting here, “the best mashed potatoes you will ever have.” Potatoes made this way are light and fluffy with a few lumps, and they come together very quickly. I think totally smooth mashed potatoes are kind of alarming and contrary to nature—too much like baby food for my holiday table.

While narrow-mouthed vases can sometimes restrain multistemmed flower arrangements, they are quite well-suited for a single stem with a large bloom, like sunflowers or chrysanthemums. “A vase that is taller than it is wide is more useful for your average person who doesn’t want to spend a gazillion dollars on flowers,” Patterson notes.

The Case for Thanksgiving Chicken

Posted in Favorites

It’s clear we have been misled by Big Turkey, tricked into thinking we can’t eat a better bird on Thanksgiving. Everyday chicken is a boneless skinless breast or freezer nuggets—the chicken equivalent of a turkey sandwich, which somehow doesn’t disqualify a whole turkey from celebratory main course duty. Turkey, especially boring Thanksgiving turkey, is totally thrill-less, so we psych ourselves up with what surrounds it. Of course, I do not really think that psychoanalyzing turkey makers and eaters is going to convince you to make a Thanksgiving chicken (unless…?). Split the difference by ordering Thanksgiving chicken: You can spring for a local, fully pastured bird you can be proud of for less money per pound than an ethically-produced turkey.

The Swedish Torch Is the Best Way to Start a Fire

Posted in New

To understand the appeal of the Swedish torch, it helps to remember all the pain points of building a campfire. Especially now that I know the Swedish torch exists. The Swedish torch, variously known as a Swedish log, Canadian candle, or any combination of fire-baring words and nationalities, is incredibly simple. The cuts allow for air circulation, which makes the fire burn more efficiently—one Swedish torch normally burns for two to three hours. When I witnessed the magic of the Swedish torch for the first time, it humbled me.

The Secret to the Crispiest (and Easiest) Hash Browns Is Boiling Potatoes in Advance

A totally fine food, but they’re not hash browns. But making hash browns at home is—I’ll just say it—so annoying. Hash browns made from partially boiled potatoes are softer and creamier on the inside than your average diner hash browns (I consider this a good thing) and also get extremely crispy on the outside. I often boil potatoes—Yukon Golds, which I find work best for this technique—specifically to become hash browns. My guess is that after your first audibly crunchy bite, you’ll be Team Cheater hash browns for life—with the social media to prove it.

Still, if you’re looking for a less expensive starter model, the Vitamix E310 might be the best pick for you—and it’s also on sale. It lost the top slot in our product test only because it’s a little louder than the 5200 and its container holds a little less.

The purée recipe makes a full cup of bright, salty, sprightly sauce, but you need only a quarter cup to finish the beet plate.

This Thanksgiving Calls for Mini Pie Pans

Instead, this is the year you should expand your baking collection to include a pie pan in the “miniature” category, falling between four and seven inches across. Scaling a standard recipe down to fit into your mini pan pan will take a little math, but I promise it's nothing you can't handle. When scaling down from a big pan to a smaller one, as we're doing here, divide the area of the small pan by the area of the large pan. Start checking on your mini pies early and rely on the testing and visual cues that recipe calls for—like “golden brown and is set in the center”—rather than the minute marker.

This Valentine's Day, Build a Whole Meal Around One Spendy Ingredient

It is my professional opinion (I am a professional eater of dinner) that you should stay in on Valentine's Day every single year. The money you might have otherwise spent on over-priced Champagne or roses (don't buy roses!) My advice is to build your evening around one fancy ingredient used a few ways, to keep the party going course after course. Build your Valentine's Day dinner around saffron by starting with a pitcher of Nik Sharma's sumac and saffron refresher, a fizzy, non-alcoholic bev that gets its tart flavor from a spiced simple syrup. The resulting slices of cured meat are rich, nutty, and fatty—so good they'll put your normal cheeseboard stuff to shame.

Vegan Sour Cream and Onion Dip Recipe

Posted in All Recipes

While plant-based dairy has come a long way from the early days of margarine and soy-only yogurts, plant-based sour creams have yet to meet the mark. Plant-based cream cheese, I’ve found, best approximates the flavor—and the texture—of sour cream, especially when mixed or blended, such as in this vegan dip. Miyoko’s, Kite Hill, or Violife vegan cream cheese all work well for this recipe, but I find that Miyoko’s, which is cashew-based, is best both in terms of texture and taste with Kite Hill a close second. I add dried onion pieces to the recipe for a slightly brighter final flavor and for additional texture, but you can omit it if you like. This recipe is adapted from The Art of the Perfect Sauce, which I wrote with chef Lorilynn Bauer.

Watermelon La Croix Is the Best/Worst Flavor of La Croix

Posted in Featured

Earlier this summer I encountered previously unfamiliar bricks in the wall of La Croix boxes at my corner bodega. Watermelon La Croix? Drinking watermelon La Croix is like staring at a watermelon-shaped neon sign; it is like tasting water harvested from a spring haunted by a watermelon ghost. Many have compared it to coconut as one of the more divisive La Croix flavors on shelves. So, will you be among the watermelon La Croix lovers?

We Tried KitchenAid's New Cordless Appliances

Posted in New

In an ideal world, your kitchen is chock-full of well-placed electrical outlets with available sockets. For this reason I was eager to try the new Cordless Collection from KitchenAid. I wasn’t acutely aware of just how beholden I was to the outlets in my kitchen before I tested these tools. Using this set, I realized that your basic hand blender and hand mixer are both fundamentally changed by the addition of a battery and the removal of cords. The hand blender comes with four-point stainless-steel blades to quickly purée and liquify ingredients into hummus, smoothies, and soups.

What Food Is OK To Keep During A Power Outage?

Posted in Trending

Although having nonperishable food items and coolers on hand is always a plus, there are some general rules to follow when deciding what food is still good to eat after being stored in a fridge that has lost power. Temperature is key when figuring out if your food is still in good shape to eat. Of course, shelf-stable foods like canned vegetables, fruits, and meats that do not require certain temperatures for storage are all safe to eat during power outages as well. Otherwise, you should safely dispose of the food to avoid food poisoning or other adverse reactions that consuming them may cause.

What Olive Oils Do Chefs Use? We Asked 5 of Them About Their Favorites

Posted in Favorites

Still, even chefs have a variety of preferences—and place varying levels of importance on the specific brand—when it comes to olive oil. To some, like Amanda Cohen, the chef at New York City’s Dirt Candy, there’s nothing precious about olive oil. Claire Saffitz, Contributing Editor at Bon Appétit: Frantoia Extra Virgin Olive OilBon Appétit’s Claire Saffitz uses olive oil every single day. For a more widely available oil, Nosrat recommends the organic extra virgin olive oil on Costco’s shelves. “Most of the pasta, meat, and fish dishes I make for dinner use olive oil in the cooking process and I often drizzle extra virgin olive oil over rested meat and fish before serving.”

When It Comes to Curd, Lemons Are Just the Beginning

Posted in Favorites

Lemon curd serves a vital purpose in my household: it's a stand-in, at times, for the kind of sour candy that’ll burn your tongue off. That longing for zing sometimes ends in the artificial substitute—a handful of Extreme Sour SweetTarts—but, more than often than not, it leads me toward a batch of lemon curd. But lemon curd isn't the only curd, and there’s no need to stop at one sour spread. Recently, instead of enjoying grapefruit segments as an afternoon snack, I’ve been turning them into a fragrant, delightfully sour curd. “Curd works best when there is some sharpness present, to counter the sweetness,” baker and cookbook author Edd Kimber explained in a recent email.

White Terry's Chocolate Orange Hot Chocolates Exist

If the latter is the one for you, you’ll want to know more about this woman’s Terry’s White Chocolate Orange hot chocolate, won’t you? Dolly’s Desserts – a dessert parlour in Barnsley – recently shared a TikTok of their hot chocolate artiste extraordinaire, Charlie (with the good hair), making a hot chocolate from a Terry’s White Chocolate Orange. Then it’s toppings time: Charlie opts for another segment of the Chocolate Orange, plus white chocolate curls, orange dessert sauce and a light dusting of chocolate powder. I’m guessing white hot chocolate’s your thing, or else you wouldn’t be here, so let me tell you about Whittard’s toffee popcorn and white chocolate version of its instant hot chocolate powder.

White Chicken Enchilada Slow-Cooker Casserole

Posted in Featured

I also substituted Rotel, drained, for the green chili's and used jalapeno sour cream dip for 1/2 the sour cream and added a can of black beans, drained. Also the combination of sour cream cream of chicken soup and chicken needs something to kick it up. Also the recipe specified 15 chicken thighs but not the amount of chicken breasts. I used four large breast and that was not enough; I couldn't taste the chicken around all the tortillas. This is almost like a recipe I used to make, but the addition of the sour cream makes it much better.

While it’s a late addition to my kitchen, this ancient West African grain is by no means new; Farmers in West Africa have been growing fonio for thousands of years. Yolélé, a joint venture between chef Pierre Thiam, who grew up in Senegal, and entrepreneur Philip Teverow, aims to bring the grain to the American market. “I’ve dreamed of bringing the signature ingredients of West African kitchens to a global audience to provide a source of income for subsistence farmers in the Sahel region,” Thiam says.

Why These Chefs Use Coconut Vinegar for Just About Everything

Posted in All Recipes

“In our cooking, every dish has some kind of component from the coconut tree: coconut milk, or grated coconut, or even coconut vinegar.” The last ingredient was what brought me to Thottungal in the first place. Many natural health websites also claim that coconut vinegar is superior to another health food darling, apple cider vinegar (ACV, for those in the know). Compared to the acidic potency of white vinegar, coconut vinegar is much milder. The coconut vinegar, he says, emphasizes the tang of the mango while adding a touch of complementary, subtle coconut flavor.

Why You Should Crumple Parchment Paper

Posted in Featured

Case in point: crumpling parchment paper. Before laying a round of parchment paper on the bottom of her springform pan, she crumpled the paper into a ball and then smoothed it out again. Now, “anytime I pull a length of parchment, I automatically crumple it.”The crumple addresses a small but vexing problem with parchment paper: its reluctance to lay flat at the bottom of a pan. The first is to buy parchment paper in flat sheets, or—if you really want to get exacting—rounds that are precut to fit common cake pans. Foil can conduct heat that you may not want, but with the crumple technique, parchment is just as malleable as foil.
