A Different Kind of Breakfast Waffle Judy and I love to have these waffles alone, but Sarah and Kaitlin insist that they are better complemented with bacon and eggs on a Sunday morning. Either way, you can have ‘em however you like, on any day you want, because like any other waffle, they freeze and reheat nicely in the toaster oven! So why waffles over the traditional scallion pancakes? For me, they’re not only delicious, but easy!...

We were actually hoping to include this dish in our cookbook, but when we had to cut out 20 recipes due to page constraints, it ended up on the cutting room floor.

When we were based out of Beijing, trips to Shanghai were a relatively common occurrence. A couple of hours on the bullet train, and we could escape smoggy Beijing to visit my mom’s side of the family, eat all our favorite local foods, and just have a change of pace. As for the differences between Beijing and Shanghai, people often say that Beijing is an intellectual’s city—one of art, politics, and discourse, whereas Shanghai is more about business and fashion....

The perfectly sweet way to end a beautiful summer meal! I usually end up making pies or fruit crisps but sometimes it’s nice to have something that’s really easy, no baking required and totally no fuss while still enjoying the summer bounty....

In this article, we’ll tell you everything you need to know about this prized Japanese ingredient. What Is Wasabi? Wasabi is a Japanese root (or rhizome, if we’re being picky about it) related to horseradish with a potently spicy, sinus-clearing flavor. It grows naturally in mountain streams and rivers in Japan, and it’s incredibly difficult to grow commercially. According to some experts, it is THE most difficult plant in the world to cultivate on a large scale, and can therefore fetch a hefty market price––upwards of $80 or $90 per pound....

It’s really not difficult to see why cumin lamb, flavored with whole cumin seeds, has become such a popular dish. Cumin and lamb is a flavor match made in heaven. Add some hot peppers and plenty of cilantro, and it’s a dish too perfect to ignore. With white rice…I’ll use a phrase that Bill and the girls taught me over the years: Daaaaaaaang. As a matter of fact, cumin lamb is one of my mother’s favorite dishes, and she usually doesn’t even like lamb....

However, all I am actually going to talk about is the glory that is…the store-bought bakery chocolate chip cookie. Now hear me out. We all know that the cookies churned out of commercial bakeries in grocery stores and warehouse stores like Costco and BJ’s are filled with processed fats and oils, refined sugars, and generic chocolate. But in the same turn they are, quite simply, Freaking Amazing. They’re chewy, chock full o’ chocolate chunks, and yield an ever so slightly crunchy edge to contrast with the delectably molten centers, which—though they have long-since cooled—magically retain their original texture via the unfortunate but admittedly delicious hocus pocus of shortening and hydrogenated oil blends....
