Burnished-skinned, deeply flavored and more than just a little spicy, it’s no wonder that Peruvian chicken has become something of an obsession here in the United States. There are dozens of way to make this dish, but most recipes call for two different kinds of Peruvian chile pastes — aji amarilla and aji panca — […]

This recipe makes enough caramelized shallot mixture for a double batch of […]

Goan Coconut Milk Pilaf
Goa is situated on the western coast of India and has a warm climate perfect for growing coconuts. It’s no surprise, then, that Goan cuisine uses coconuts generously in dishes. The Goan spice combinations, influenced by Portuguese inhabitants, are also quite different from other parts of India, and that is what marks Goan cuisine.

Passatelli in Brodo
In Bologna, Italy, we tasted delicious home-cooked passatelli in brodo. Made with stale bread, cheese, eggs, broth, and little else, the dish exemplifies cucina povera, or peasant cooking. Passatelli are cylindrical dumplings—like fat, short spaghetti—made by extruding dough through smallish holes; the dumplings are simply poached and served in chicken broth. We highly recommend using […]
