Not Your Typical Vietnamese Restaurant Chef Jordan Kahn opened Red Medicine in 2010, inspired by many post-shift late night meals at Vietnamese restaurants around Los Angeles.

Kahn’s reinterpretation of Southeast Asian cuisine is simply stunning, almost too pretty… Read More →

Graham & Co., a small neighborhood café and family low-country restaurant in the teeny town of McClellanville, South Carolina serves the best coconut pie of its kind. It’s not too fancy, not complicated and it tastes like someone’s mother made it—assuming your mom loved coconut pie and… Read More →
My Seder Traditions For the uninformed, the Passover seder is a ritual feast that marks the beginning of the Jewish holiday of Passover. It is held at sundown on the 14th day of Nissan in the Hebrew calendar and on the 15th by observant Jews living outside Israel. It’s basically Thanksgiving for Jews, and it’s… Read More →

My Go-To Lasagna I prefer to make this classic Italian recipe with hearty eggplant slices and mushrooms in place of meat-heavy layers – it makes for a lighter, fresher meal. That said, if you’re craving a meaty ragu just brown a little ground beef or sausage in the pot before adding your tomatoes. This is… Read More →
A Noodle Shop With a Serious Cult Following If I had only one meal in all of Hong Kong, it would be at Kau Kee. It’s a legendary 100-year-old institution, popular with locals, travelers and anyone in-the-know – and it’s my favorite place in town. The small, always crowded dive has one specialty: braised beef… Read More →

A Passover Staple This is the only recipe I’ve come across that measures up to my grandmother’s. The matzoh ball has the perfect balance: light enough to float, dense enough to be a good “sinker.” When I make it as a main course, I serve the chicken in sixths with the skin and bone, adding… Read More →
Don’t be shy. Ask your butcher for venison hearts. Out of venison? Substitute lamb, calf or ox heart if you like. Most meat markets can easily accommodate these special orders. Cooking wild food is not about trying to cover up the unique flavor of game meats and birds, it’s about accentuating them, pairing them and… Read More →

Then, dinner is served. Dung beetles are a popular snack in rural Laos and… Read More →
