Khao Niaw Sankhaya Turian (sticky rice with durian custard)|Pok Pok

Sticky Rice with Durian Custard

Khao Niaw Sankhaya Turian By Andy Ricker Durian has a powerful aroma. Westerners, who tend to shun the fruit, would probably choose a stronger term. In Southeast Asia, however, durian is considered the queen of fruit and it fetches a high price. Yet even where durian has fans, it’s not always welcome. Cabs, trains, and…  Read More

Hastings-Style Shrimp

A Game Changing Cooking Technique By Andrew Zimmern OK, so I was with Hot and Hot Fish Club’s amazing chef Chris Hastings, standing in his Birmingham, Alabama, restaurant kitchen and eating my way through his mise en place about an hour before service.

Turkey Leftovers

Turkey Tetrazzini I always make a Thanksgiving turkey because I love the leftovers turned into sandwiches, soups, and my son’s favorite, turkey tetrazzini. I usually use up my last scraps of meat, and the salty kiss of some killer parmesan with this pasta casserole. We also love Turkey a la King – it’s creamy and sublime, Old…  Read More

Zuppa Verde

Italian Farmhouse Cooking By Andrew Zimmern Every cook wants to know how to make this superb zuppa verde, and the reason is its simplicity. As in all Italian food, simplicity trumps all.

Chicken-Fried Squirrel with Pan Gravy

One of my favorite mild, white meats. By Andrew Zimmern Pan-fried squirrel in a sturdy gravy is one of my favorite dishes come holiday time.

Hot Wok Crickets By Andrew Zimmern High in protein and rich in minerals, crickets are the most popular insect eaten around the world.

Vushka|Kramarczuk's Family Classics

Vushka (VOOSH-kah)

Ukrainian Mushroom Dumplings By Orest & Katie Kramarczuk This is a delightful little dumpling if you are a mushroom lover. It translates to “tiny ear” because of the final shape it takes. We would always eat them served in a steaming bowl of Borscht. The beet and mushroom flavor is a wonderful combination.

GiGi’s Chopped Salad With Green Goddess Dressing

Steakhouse-Style Entrée Salad By Andrew Zimmern This is my interpretation of a chopped salad I grew up eating in New York City, a staple at our old-school neighborhood steak house. The veggie-heavy dish gets plenty of protein from the shrimp and hard-boiled eggs, vitamin C and fiber from the fresh green beans and peas, while celery…  Read More

Andrew Zimmern's Steamed Mussels

Steamed Mussels with Aioli

Mejillones By Andrew Zimmern My childhood summers were spent on the South Fork of Long Island, New York, where we clammed in the bay, crabbed in the salt ponds with heads of snapper, blues and porgies, and foraged for ropes of mussels. My dad would hold on to my ankles and lower me between the…  Read More

Aunt Suzanne’s Famous Caramel Pecan Bars

It’s a stunner By Andrew Zimmern These are my Aunt Suzanne’s famous Caramel Pecan Bars. She says she got the recipe off a butter box; I am guessing Land O’Lakes, in the 1980s. It’s a stunner, and addictive, so make two batches at a time. They are that good. Land O’Lakes test kitchen should be…  Read More

Raghavan Iyer’s Indian Slaw

Not-Your-Mother’s Coleslaw By Raghavan Iyer Unless your mama is from western India, chances are this is not your mother’s mayo- smothered, garlic powder-ridden coleslaw.
