Pasta with Shrimp and Browned Butter
We build big flavor into this dish by cooking tagliatelle or pappardelle—dried pastas made with egg—in a skillet, directly in the liquid that becomes the pasta sauce. The noodles’ delicate texture pairs perfectly with sweet, briny shrimp and the nuttiness of browned butter. Use larger-sized shrimp, large or extra-large, so they remain tender and plump. […]

Mexican Wedding Cookies
Mexican wedding cookies are as well traveled as Carmen Sandiego. In some circles, these little treats are known as "Russian tea cakes," while in other places, they masquerade as "Danish wedding cookies." Where I grew up, in Kentucky, they're called "snowballs," but down in Florida, they're "butterballs" instead. Food historians say this culinary enigma […]

Velveting is a Chinese technique of coating slices of meat, usually beef, pork or chicken, with cornstarch or baking soda before cooking for tenderization. For this stir-fry, we use a little of both—the soda tenderizes more effectively while the cornstarch helps thicken the sauce. To ensure the beef is well-seasoned, we also stir in a […]
