Japanese-Style Oxtails I taught a grilling class called “Head-to-Tail with Tim Love” at the Austin Food & Wine Festival. We were grilling with hundreds of people, all with their own grills. I demonstrated recipes with the tail, specifically the oxtail, and it was a blast. I love Asian glazes like the one below, the flavors… Read More →
One of My Favorite Argentinian Dishes Braise the rabbit in red wine until it falls off the bone, then grill it for an amazing smoky flavor.
Crab, Lobster, Shrimp & Rice Stew This is one of the recipes I demonstrated at the KitchenAid event last weekend with the lovely Gail Simmons. This asopao (stew) is Trinidad-inspired, but it fits neatly into the Flo-ribbean cooking genre. This asopao is pure Trinidadian magic. Don’t be shy about passing plenty of extra limes and hot… Read More →
It’s a No-Brainer Brains aren’t just for zombies. Brains are a delicacy eaten by people all around the world. The most popular are lamb, pig and cow brains, but you can really eat any animal’s brain, provided it’s fresh. I’ve even dined on squirrel brain. It was delicious! Brains are full of healthy nutrients like… Read More →

A Vibrant Raw-Fish Salad I first tasted this dish on the island of Cat Hai, off the Vietnamese coast. My crew and I fell into a small restaurant that was really the front porch of a family home. They walked us out back to their “kitchen,” pointed at a few raw ingredients and looked at me.… Read More →
Amateur Schmamateur Adam Roberts took a big risk when he quit law school to start an amateur food blog in 2004. As it turns out, he’s pretty good at it. Seamlessly weaving recipes and photographs with personal narratives and humor, Adam transformed his a hobby into a full-fledged career (jealous?). For his new cookbook, Secrets of… Read More →

Sautéed Shrimp with Garlic & Guindilla Pepper By José Andrés
My Game-Day Specialty When I invite the guys over to watch football, I like to roast a ham or a few birds and lay out some buns and mustard, and I always serve this chili. I leave it next to the fireplace, so the pot stays warm, and let everyone help themselves. I put out… Read More →
A Mongolian Staple One of my all time top five fave recipes. These lamb dumplings are insanely addictive. Versions of this dish are served all over Mongolia, although most are made with fermented mare’s milk instead of yogurt. You will surely find this recipe a little more accessible.
Queen of the Test Kitchen Tasting Table‘s senior food editor Raquel Pelzel lives and breathes food. As director of TT’s test kitchen, her head’s in the fridge most days crafting creative content for their daily email publications, she’s also written over a dozen cookbooks (including a few James Beard award-winners) and she still loves to… Read More →
Bayou Soul Food Deep in the Louisiana bayou, Cajuns still live off the land—trapping, shrimping, crabbing and hunting. Cooks make gumbo with nutria, a giant, water-dwelling rodent. I learned my gumbo techniques from a trapper’s wife, but I use oysters and crab; no rodent required. This dish’s success hinges on the roux, which is the foundation to all… Read More →
Island-Style Jambalaya Over the years, I have expanded my repertoire of killer soups, stews and braises for superb oven-to-table one-pot meals, and this is one of the better recipes. This asopao (stew) is Trinidad-inspired, but it fits neatly into the Flo-ribbean cooking genre. This asopao is pure Trinidadian magic. Don’t be shy about passing plenty of… Read More →
Addictive Flavors of Malaysia By Andrew Zimmern A few years ago, I went to Malaysia for the first time and spent every second I could on New Lane in Penang. It’s arguably the single greatest street-food stroll in the world. Among the hundreds of stalls are a few that turn out chicken wings and chicken… Read More →
I am eight years old. I am on a food recon trip with my dad in the middle of a fall day in Los Angeles. He is there for work, and I am tagging along for a few days of fun with my old man. We arrive at the place he has been searching for,… 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. Serves four. Instructions Combine honey and wine in a small sauce pot, bring to a boil, drop whole shallots in, cover and cook for 20… Read More →
Love a big, juicy steak? Try this alternative. Ox heart is one of the most underrated cuts of meat. Period. It’s a huge muscle, and makes for an extremely tender stead. You could serve this at a party and guests would rave about this amazing cut, not suspecting for a second that it’s heart. The… Read More →
Light, Refreshing & Perfect for Summer By Andrew Zimmern I love this dish. Served as a main with fried green tomatoes and crusty baguette or a hearty appetizer, it’s one of my go-to summer staples. You could make the soused shrimp ahead of time and it’ll be good, but it’s best when served immediately. I like… Read More →
Wok-Tossed, Twice-Cooked I make this dish all the time with soft shell crabs, but it is equally good with shrimp. For the crab version, I skip the salt rub and simply cut my crabs in half before dipping in the egg white. The sauce recipe came to me from my pal Vikram, who uses it all the… Read More →
Make Extra, These are Addictive. I’ve made these ribs hundreds of times. I love demoing it at food festivals, I’ve taught it in dozens of cooking classes, and I make it at home regularly. Friends and family clamor for the recipe, and are surprised at just how easy this dish is to whip up at… Read More →
Simple Stir Fry I always recommend this recipe to cooks new to Chinese cuisine. It’s not authentic, but I teach it all of the time because it schools American cooks on what is going on in your pan. Instructions Combine beef tenderloin, corn starch, rice wine, hot chile paste and soy sauce, and marinate overnight… Read More →
