Yu xiang qie zi By Fuchsia Dunlop This dish, almost more than any other, expresses for me the gorgeous layering of flavors that is the signature of Sichuanese cooking.

The Other, Other White Meat Chicken and turkey continue to populate tables across the country, but maybe it’s time we start eating gator.

Alligator meat has a fine texture, similar to chicken and pork, but contains less calories, fat and cholesterol than either… Read More →
A Springtime Brunch As the temperatures creep above freezing and the snow starts to melt, I get excited to swap out root vegetables and heavy stews for Spring ingredients and vibrant flavors. This year, I’m thinking beyond the traditional ham-and-deviled-egg Easter feast, opting for fresh asparagus and lobster salad, tarragon-encrusted lamb with goat cheese and my… Read More →

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. Although he uses fragrant, traditional ingredients in his wildly creative menu, this isn’t your traditional Vietnamese joint. Kahn’s reinterpretation of Southeast Asian cuisine is simply stunning, almost too pretty… 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 →
