The Impossible "chicken" is maybe cut a ...Read more

Paul Theroux had it right when he pronounced January "the season of recovery and preparation."

First, the recovery. I'll bet you're just as weary as the rest of us after so many holiday activities which, for me, included chasing after grandkids, imbibing in a little too much red wine and logging way too many miles on the Pennsylvania Turnpike ...Read more

Parsley is one reliable green this time of year. No matter the weather, you can count on parsley — curly and Italian — to be in every grocery store, and the kitchen workhorse can do more than garnish a plate.

It makes a delightful salad, perhaps best known as an ingredient in tabbouleh. While most tabbouleh recipes pay homage to bulgur, I ...Read more

I love Cheetos.

All kinds, all shapes and sizes. But when I learned Cheetos has a Simply line of baked snacks with no artificial flavors, color or preservatives, I was truly in love.

PHILADELPHIA — In early December, when Chance Anies, 33, the chef and owner of Tabachoy in Bella Vista, went shopping at Hung Vuong Market on Washington Avenue for bagoong, the Filipino shrimp paste, he noticed an alarming absence. He went to First Oriental, then other Asian markets in Philly, and then to several Asian pantry wholesalers. No ...Read more

Imagine my disappointment. The chop suey sundae is not at all what I thought it was.

I imagined it to be chicken and celery and bamboo shoots and water chestnuts served in an Americanized version of a vaguely Cantonese sauce served over ice cream, possibly with rice. And that’s probably what you thought it was, too.

But alas, it appears to ...Read more

This recipe works on a pizza stone and baking sheet as well. As long as you preheat whichever one you use, the crust will come out crispy every time.

Cast-Iron ...Read more
