A fried egg sandwich fills the void at any time of day quickly and pleasantly. They’re seldom seen anymore, though on a recent trip to the Florida Keys, I was surprised to find fried egg sandwiches on many cafe menus, usually adorned with cheese, bacon, ham, or tomatoes, smashed between pieces of ..

This is a fresh, colorful salad of fruit that is easy to make — you just need a half—liter (2-cup) siphon (the kind used for whipping cream) to make the foam.

Great on the grill as a steak or fajitas. Leave whole while grilling to maintain juices.

Cuttlefish are bigger than squid and have large "bones" that often get made into earrings. They also have a little sac inside the body containing a sweet—tasting black ink, which they squirt at enemies in self-defense, and which we use in this recipe. Clean the cuttlefish in the same ..

Today we are seeing more and more premium chickens available, and usually they are worth their higher price, though not always. Typically, these chickens are from old-fashioned breeds known more for their flavor than their plump breasts and perfectly even shape. Often called "free-range" ..

I read the note about throwing it all in the food processor too late. I'll do that next time.... much faster! This is really tasty!

A tasty appetizer you can serve cold. Escabeche is of Spanish origin and refers to both a dish of fried fish that is marinated in an acidic mixture before serving, and to the marinade itself.

Look for bell peppers with smooth sides, so you can cut them lengthwise and lay the pieces flat for the most direct contact with the grate.

Buy the best-quality oil and vinegar you can afford, because you can't put in flavor that isn't already there. And make up a big bottle, so that you use it all the time. I would be a very happy man if every British family had a bottle of Giorgio's homemade vinaigrette in the fridge.

All three of these fish are grilled in much the same way except for tuna, which is best cooked like a steak, rare or medium-rare. Swordfish and shark, however; are ready when they reach an internal temperature of 130°F. If you are serving rare tuna, try to buy 2 large steaks instead of 4 smaller ..

Grill-roast the peppers and peel them so they would be sweet and tender. Make a balsamic vinaigrette and use it as a marinade for the onions, to give them a boost of flavor before they go on the grill.

At most parties that have appetizers, one that most parties have is a little meatball that has a tooth pick stuck in them. In the past the meat was beef but now it can be ground sausage, lamb, turkey or chicken. The last party I went to had all of them. The different ones were all in the same bowl ..

Chicken breasts are a lot tastier cooked with their bone and skin intact, but there are ways to enhance the flavor of boneless, skinless breasts. You can always serve them with a sauce - the sauces served with bone-in, skin-on sautéed chicken breasts work for boneless breasts, too - or you can coat ..

Clarified soup and stocks: As the fish and egg whites cook and coagulate, they will entrap all the fine particles in the stock. When the crust is parted it should reveal a crystal clear stock beneath.

Some fillets look completely boneless, but if you run a fingertip over their surface you might feel the ends of tiny bones [called pin bones], which must be removed. Use needle-nose pliers or a similar tool, like tweezers, to grab the end of each bone and carefully pull it out at an angle [towards ..

If you want to make the dough by hand instead of with a stand mixer; work the ingredients with a wooden spoon in the order - and to the same consistency - shown here. Shortbread dough is similar to extra buttery sweet pastry dough but contains no liquid. These cookies are quite salty - a delicious ..

You can make this and the following recipes with penne if you prefer. We make our own fresh garganelli. If you do this, or if you can find good fresh garganelli in an Italian delicatessen, you need to cook the pasta for 2 or 3 minutes only. You can make your own walnut paste, hut you need a lot of ..
