Get inspired—sign up here for her emails. --- As much as I’d like to delude myself into thinking it’s still summer, the cool air, the maxed-out September schedules, and the creep of Halloween candy in my local Key Food is suggesting otherwise. To take the sting out of this somber reality, I bring you spiced lamb, a hearty salad, a soothing pear and almond cake, and what follows below . . . Read More >> http://dlvr.it/TDPgpn

Introducing 'Yes Chef,' Our New Series With Tips, Tricks, and Recipes From Restaurant Pros

Image
Although we at Food52 love to celebrate the avid home cook, a quick scroll through any collection of our most popular recipes proves the following: Our community really, really loves recipes developed by world-class chefs. So we took the notes and created Yes, Chef—a new video series where talented, working chefs share their favorite techniques, ingredients, and dishes directly with you. In the series’ first episode, we’re joined by Jeff Kim, the chef and co-owner of Nudibranch—an East Village hotspot that weaves together Korean and Spanish flavors. The restaurant reflects Jeff’s culinary journey: Prior to opening his own spot, the young chef cut his teeth at New York City hotspots like Momofuku Ssäm Bar and Eleven Madison Park as well as at Spain’s three-Michelin-starred El Celler de Can Roca.

5 Expert Spanish Wine Pairings From a Celebrated Chef

Image
We’ve partnered with Marqués de Cáceres to feature five Spanish dishes that pair perfectly with their premium wines. From a fruit-forward rosé to bubbly cava, there’s a wine to fit every mood. There’s no better way to capture the taste of Spain than with a glass of Marqués de Cáceres. But to really bring those Iberian flavors home, the well-known Spanish wine brand tapped Chef David Viana from The Lovely Lita to create five dishes to pair with their wines. If you’re unfamiliar, The Lovely Lita is a modern Iberian restaurant in Aberdeen, New Jersey which highlights classic dishes in unexpected preparations (think: paella with duck confit and chorizo, or salted cod agnolotti). It was a James Beard Award semifinalist for the best new restaurant in the country this year, a fitting recognition for David, who received a Best Chef nom in 2018 from the James Beard Foundation. This partnership brings the two together with an enticing menu to pair with any bottle of Marqués de Cáceres, from ...

Meet The Designer Behind Dansk’s ’70s-Era Fish Trivet

Image
The story behind the Dansk trivet is actually a fashion one: Gunnar Cyrén, an award-winning Swedish designer responsible for some of the world’s most coveted flatware, would’ve never worked with Dansk if he hadn’t walked into a Parisian hotel wearing his worst corduroy suit. Days prior to arriving at the hotel, some time during the summer of 1969, Gunnar was in the midst of a family vacation in Sweden’s SkÃ¥ne county when the phone rang. On the other line was Dansk founder Ted Nierenberg—again. Read More >> http://dlvr.it/TDCHyk

We Tried Cooking With Beef Tallow—Here’s What We Thought

Every Cookbook Our Baking Club Has Baked Through

Image
Months after we launched our Food52 Cookbook Club as a Facebook Group in 2017, our club moderator Linsey Sowa realized our pastry, pie, cake, bread, and cookie-loving members wanted a place to go deep on baking. So we began a dedicated Food52 Baking Club that followed the same rules. Together, we’ve cooked through nearly 100 cookbooks together. To make the titles easy to find for our new and current members—over 32,000 and counting!—we're listing them here for easy access and inspo. Read More >> http://dlvr.it/TCJ6mZ

Every Book Our Cookbook Club Has Cooked Through

Image
Since the Food52 Cookbook Club launched as a Facebook Group in 2017, we've cooked through nearly 100 cookbooks together. To make the titles easy to find for our new and current members—nearly 40,000 and counting!—we're listing them here for easy access and inspo. The way our members cook together across continents and time zones is simple: We post pics and reviews of the recipes we make from one of our chosen books. This could mean our "Book of the Month," our annual "Bonus Book," or any past cookbook we've covered for a Throwback Thursday or Throwback Month (August and February) post. Even if you can't get your hands on your own copy, we make sure you can still cook along with us, by excerpting recipes from our chosen cookbooks and only selecting titles that you can also download to a device.

Use These Tomato Care Tips for the Best Homegrown Tomatoes

Image
Have you ever bought a tomato plant at your local nursery, only to have it go into a tailspin as the summer heat cranks up? Maybe the leaves start to yellow, or look dried out and develop spots. So many things can go awry if you aren’t familiar with pruning and feeding your plant—but how and when should you step in with shears and fertilizer? While tomato growing may seem like a cakewalk when you’ve purchased a starter plant, the summer produce staple can be tricky to maintain until you master a few best practices. So, to learn how to grow the best tomato plants at home, I visited Brooklyn Grange, New York City’s largest network of rooftop farms. Visible from my desk, Brooklyn Grange’s farm in the Brooklyn Navy Yard is the envy of our office, and seeing it in person momentarily made me consider changing professions in favor of being one with the plants (as if I could handle the unrelenting sun!).

On Fluffy Coke

@food52 dirty soda summer?👀 this is our first time making one & trying one…🥤 #f52community #dirtysoda #fluffycoke #coffeerecipe #recipe #drinkrecipe #sweettreet #dietcoke ♬ Time's Up - Moondough A Fluffy Coke is simple to make. You line the inside of a glass cup with marshmallow fluff and then fill it with Coca-Cola. What happens after you make it on camera is, well, much more complex. I made fluffy Coke for Annie's Cafe—a video series where I recreate the internet's favorite complicated, confectionary coffees. While a beverage consisting of soda and whipped marshmallow is, of course, not coffee, my version—which includes an oat milk cold foam and a splash of vanilla syrup—aligns with the series' spirit: It's sweet, drinkable, and trending online.
