Whether you’re crouching over a campfire or a backcountry stove, there just aren’t many culinary experiences more rewarding than those that involve cooking outdoors. There’s something about cooking over an open fire or in unspoiled, unfamiliar surroundings with nothing but forest, ocean, or desert around you, that makes it feel like you’ve earned your meal. On our recent trip to Olympic National Park, we found ourselves preparing meals in the most beautiful places....

My Mom’s History with Chicken Francese When my mom first came to America in the 1980s, the world of Western food was understandably foreign. Having grown up on a diet of the dishes her mother and grandmother would prepare back in Shanghai, she hadn’t tried foods from other provinces of China let alone the U.S. or Europe. My mom has told me stories about the culinary culture shock she experienced when she arrived in upstate New York....

Memories of Zha Ma Ye I remember eating these twists, or zhà má yè (炸麻叶), in Hubei when I was very little. Besides getting new clothes and red envelopes, zhà má yè was one of the things I most looked forward to. With oil scarce in those days, there was nothing more indulgent than fried food. At last, we could enjoy something crispy and crunchy—sometimes over the course of several days during the two-week-long Spring Festival....

Top it all with a flavorful sauce, and you have a restaurant quality stuffed eggplant dish. The pork in the stuffing is optional. It can be substituted with more shrimp or any other ground meat. You can also leave the stuffing out all together. If you just steam the eggplant slices and use a vegetable stock to make the sauce, you’d have a great vegan meal....

Posted Dec 14, 2017, Updated Jun 22, 2024 When it comes to candy, I am about as plane-Jane as they come. You’ll usually find me reaching for pure dark chocolate, or some sort of nut covered in dark chocolate – like these chocolate covered cashews.

Then they’re folded up in spring roll wrappers and fried for a couple minutes until golden and crispy....
