A Soup Supper
2005-01-15
Soup for supper is an appealing concept, especially on a cold, snowy night. But for soup to work as a main course, it better be hearty. A light, clear broth simply won't do. Recipes - Quick Cheese Bread - Hearty Lentil Soup Equipment Corner - Vegetable peelers Tasting Lab - Mail order bac...

Regional Classics
2005-01-22
On occasion local dishes become so popular that they transcend their region. Gumbo is a taste of Louisiana in a big old bowl. Its distinct aroma and flavor are like a quick trip to the bayous outside of New Orleans. Recipes - Creole-Style Shrimp and Sausage Gumbo - Cincinnati Chili Equipment C...

E7
Flash in a Pan
2005-02-12
Dinner in less than 20 minutes is the holy grail of weeknight cooking. Many recipes make good on this promise, but most ultimately reflect the minimal effort exerted on the part of the cook. They are fine in a pinch but rarely worth making again. But it doesn't have to be this way. Recipes - Chic...

Family Favorites
2005-02-19
Cooking for a family isn't as easy as it was once. In Norman Rockwell pictures, the entire clan (with aunts, uncles, cousins, and grandparents) is gathered around the table with a dozen different dishes in front of them. No one has soccer practice or is working late. No one is on a weird diet, and t...

E11
Grill-Roasted Beef Tenderloin
2005-03-12
We don’t part easily with money, but we will on occasion break the bank and buy a beef tenderloin. The tender, buttery interior is the big draw, and the combination of a healthy dose of seasoning and the flavor from the charcoal grill is a perfect solution to a rather mild-tasting (boring) piece of ...

New Flavors from the Grill
2005-03-19
Even expert grillers can get in a rut. They make the same four or five recipes over and over again. Sure, the steaks are great, but isn’t there something a bit more exciting? Recipes - Thai Grilled Chicken with Spicy, Sweet, and Sour Dipping Sauce - Grilled Salmon with Maple-Soy Glaze Equipm...
E13
Mexican Favorites
2005-03-26

Quick Pasta

E15
A Passage to India
2005-04-09
Indian food has a reputation for being spicy (most of it is not) and hard to prepare at home (tell that to one billion Indians). However, it is true that many recipes require a long list of spices and other ingredients. Recipes - Chicken Biryani - Mulligatawny Soup Tasting Lab - Curry powder
E16
Pissaladière
2005-04-16
Pissaladière is Provençal street food, a fragrant, pizza-like tart prized for its contrast of salty black olives and anchovies against a backdrop of sweet caramelized onions and thyme. Recipes - Pissaladière Equipment Corner - Baking stones - Pizza cutters

In an Italian-American Kitchen
2005-04-23
In the test kitchen, we enjoy authentic Italian dishes such as pasta all'amatriciana (episode 18-Italian Classics) and osso buco and polenta (episode 19-Winter Supper). But we also like to prepare Italian-American dishes. Recipes - Eggplant Parmesan - Pasta with Chicken and Brocoli
E18
Italian Classics
2005-04-30
There seems to be an endless supply of "classic" Italian dishes. Just when we think we've mastered the canon, we realize there are more seminal Italian dishes to learn-recipes as important as pesto, steak fiorentina, or pasta with garlic and oil. Recipes - Pasta all'Amatriciana - Mushroom Risot...
E19
Winter Supper
2005-05-07
Stew and starch is a familiar and comforting winter combination. Stew-and-starch pairings include everything from beef stew and mashed potatoes to chicken paprikash and egg noodles. Our favorite Italian stew-and-starch combo is osso buco and polenta. Recipes - Osso Buco - Basic Polenta Tastin...
E20
Bistro Classics
