Simple Sweet & Spicy Stir-Fry By Andrew Zimmern Velvet Chicken. Sexy name. Great dish. Classic technique. I wouldn’t call this entry-level Chinese cookery—it’s 201 coursework—but any novice can produce a stellar version of this dish because it’s so easy to execute. The boiling of the marinated meat in oil results in a velvety texture that… Read More →
Last week I spoke at the 75th annual American Public Gardens Association Conference, hosted by the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum and Como Park Zoo & Conservatory. Before the event, I sat down with Lisa Marchand of Minnesota Monthly to chat about our broken food system and the state’s farming potential. Read the article here. When… Read More →
Sour Cream Peach Pie By Andrew Zimmern Food with a story is always best. My pal Annette passed me this recipe that was passed to her by her mother-in-law, Inez Orvedal Kisser, of Fargo, North Dakota.

In May, we decided to take a short hiatus from the Go Fork Yourself Podcast. Our dear producer, Beth K. Gibbs, left the nest to follow her passion. We’re excited for her, but she leaves big shoes to fill. Andrew, always an optimist, said we’d be back up and running by the end of June.… Read More →
For decades, big soda companies have spent billions of dollars trying to convince the world that soda equals happiness. Perhaps no other advertisement in history exemplifies that more than the iconic “Hilltop” ad, where singers on a hillside expressed their wish to “buy the world a Coke.” But the truth is, sugar drinks promote type 2… Read More →
Beer-Battered Chicken Sandwich By Rebecca Lang Nearly everyone loves a fried chicken sandwich. This version does not disappoint. Choose a malty ale, such as Bell’s Best Brown, or a good seasonal beer from your favorite local brewery. A rich, caramel-kissed brew helps the flavors hold up all the way through frying. This batter is light… Read More →
Cornmeal-Crusted Chicken & White Barbecue Sauce By Rebecca Lang While living in Birmingham, Alabama, I had my first eye-opening taste of white barbecue sauce. To first see a barbecue sauce that’s on the opposite end of the color spectrum from the typical red varieties is intriguing. Its tart, peppery creaminess is simply wonderful. Common throughout north… Read More →

Kulcha By Andrew Zimmern North Indian Punjabi flatbread is called kulcha. Kulcha is ideally served with spicy pulses, dals and (most famously) choley, which are spice-braised chickpeas. Naan has had its day in the sun, and it seemed last year I couldn’t open a book or magazine without seeing a recipe for it. Kulcha is… Read More →

Homemade Ricotta Cheese By Andrew Zimmern In the ’70s and into the ’80s, cooking was a lot about shopping and assembly. In the ’90s and the aughts, certain ingredients became the sexy stalwarts of a new era of democratic cookery. Every dish had to have bacon in it, or boquerones, or Calabrian chiles. Now, everyone… Read More →
Sous Vide Cooking at Home By Madeleine Hill Look, I’m not Andrew Zimmern, but I do work for him (both a blessing and a curse). I love to cook, but I didn’t go to culinary school. Two years ago, I turned a hobby into a salaried job when I started testing Andrew’s recipes for Food & Wine… Read More →

It’s an eclectic mix of genres, of new and throwback tunes… Holly Williams to Talking Heads to The Jayhawks. Listen here or, if you… Read More →
Grilled “Chicken of the Sea” with Dried Shrimp Salsa By Andrew Zimmern In Cuba for the last 50 years, serving lobster was illegal in restaurants or home kitchens taking in guests. Locals found a way around the law by calling them chicken of the sea on menus.
Guacamole By Andrew Zimmern This super simple creamy guacamole is a lovely addition to your summertime repertoire. I make it as an accouterment for Mexican or Cuban-inspired dinners.
Hummus with White Miso By Tara O’Brady I am mad for the combination of white (shiro) miso and tahini. The unapologetic salinity and fermented, umami-rich edge of the miso teases the sesame paste’s mild, rich roundness into standing upright, while the tahini in turn balances out the miso’s oomph. I love nothing more than this… Read More →
Esquites & Yellow Tomato Gazpacho By Tara O’Brady You’re most likely familiar with elote, slathered grilled corn on the cob in a mixture of mayonnaise, chile powder, lime, salt, and cheese that is popular in Mexico. One summer dinner when we had more than the expected number at the table and not enough cobs for… Read More →
