After flipping through some Cook’s Illustrated magazines recently for some new recipes to try, and I came upon a recipe for gnocchi. I have maybe only had it once in a restaurant, but after looking at the recipe I thought I would give it a try. In case you have never had gnocchi (pronounced “nyokee”) [...]

It seems like a lot of people I know seem to dread making a turkey. People often want a dressing or stuffing, but that makes it easier to dry out the turkey. I was excited this year because my parents let me take over cooking the turkey for Thanksgiving. I wanted to try and come up with a [...] Ingredients: Melt the butter and add the celery and onions to a large skillet. Add salt, pepper, and poultry seasoning to taste. Cook over low heat for an hour. I know it’s now Winter and apples are more of a Fall fruit. Apples are still readily available, and I enjoy this recipe year round.

This recipe is a fantastic weeknight meal because all you have to do is throw it all together and bake it. You can have the kitchen cleaned up before your [...] Until recently, I had never made a souffle. Actually, I had never eaten one either. Souffles are infamous for being a difficult dish to make. I remembered watching the Good Eats episode where he makes a Cheese Souffle, and thinking it looked very doable. Making a souffle is very similar to making a mousse, and since I’ve done [...] In case you have never seen a vanilla bean in your life, you may be wondering how you split one correctly. It’s pretty basic once you know what you’re doing. You want to take a paring knife and insert the tip in the center of the bean. Pull the bean, not the blade, along the [...]
