Like many oddly named cocktails, the New York sour is a misnomer. The drink originated almost 800 miles away in Chicago. So how did it get this mismatched name? Rumor has it that the cocktail became popular in NYC bars and they settled on the name there after going through titles like the “continental sour” and “claret snap.” But those stories are unconfirmed, so let’s file this cocktail’s name origin story into the unknown folder....
It is flaky, it is buttery, it is un-fussy, and it needs no difficult-to-clean equipment—just your clean hands and a large bowl. The secret? Sour cream. No added water, instead you add sour cream. I’m not kidding. This method works and it couldn’t be easier. The recipe comes from my friend, former Zuni Cafe chef Kathi Riley, who has been using it as her go-to pastry crust recipe for 25 years and who graciously shared it with me to share with you....
I used to think a garlic press was the #1 most unnecessary kitchen tool, and I would get on my imaginary soapbox and share my strong feelings to anyone who would listen.

Why the Oxo Garlic Press Is the Best My encounter with OXO’s garlic press was quite unplanned....

So call your family into the kitchen for extra helping hands. 2. Flourless Chocolate Cake Exactly zero people will take a bite and wonder what’s missing in this decadent chocolate cake (hint: It’s gluten)....
I love pâtés of all kinds (see Pâté Maison), but they usually have liver in them, which many people don’t like. Oxtail pâté, however, has no liver, and is just made with the rich, flavorful meat of oxtails. If you’ve gone through the trouble to make the oxtail bouillon, making this pâté is a cinch, since you are starting with already cooked oxtails. It takes only a few minutes to prepare with a food processor....

Pork chops are our stand-by midweek meal approach because they are so easy to prepare and they cook up so quickly! Pork pairs especially well with many types of fruit — pineapple, apples, citrus, cherries, pears. The sweetness in the fruit brings out the natural sweetness in the pork. An acid added to the fruit, like vinegar, will brighten both the flavors in the fruit and the pork. In this recipe we are first searing the pork chops on the stovetop and then lowering the heat until they finish cooking....
Beautifully marbled with fat, this roast is rich, juicy, and tender—a feast for the eyes and the belly. How to Cook Prime Rib It’s also very easy to cook.

Salmon cakes are an easy, quick meal that the whole family will love. Looking for a way to jazz them up this season? Fold in sweet Well•Pict raspberries and top with a chipotle aioli to truly elevate this otherwise simple weeknight dinner. Of course, if you’ve got kids at the table, you can adjust the spice level by using less (or more) of the chipotle chili powder if you’d like – or leaving the aioli off altogether....
So, if you get a late morning hankering for some lentils, you can easily whip up a batch in time for lunch. Dal: A Staple Indian Recipe This red lentil dal recipe comes by way of my friend Kerissa Barron, who spent several months living and traveling through India. According to Kerissa, every region of India has its own version of the Indian staple dal, which is essentially lentil soup....
The Rob Roy, named after a Broadway play, dates back to the late 19th century. You can think of it as the Manhattan’s bolder cousin—it uses an identical liquor ratio but with scotch instead of bourbon or rye. My Recommendation for the Best Scotch A blended scotch works well—more expensive bottle’s subtle characteristics would be muted here. The flavors of scotch can vary wildly, from almost-sweet and oaky to something that tastes like licking a fire pit....
Rum is varied, and I enjoy drinks that highlight the unique aspects of a particular bottle. A classic daiquiri does that, and so does the rum old fashioned. The rum old fashioned doesn’t have a clear-cut history, as many an imbiber has been mixing rum with sugar, water—and later, bitters—for hundreds of years now. But as the cocktail revival of the 2000s brought classics back to a whole new drinking generation, variations on rum drinks returned to popularity....
During one of these summer road trips when I was nine, we stopped to visit my grandmother’s entire family in Illinois, where I met several of my mother’s extended family for the first time. One person in particular who fascinated me was my mother’s cousin. She was queer, openly out, and not a single person in the family avoided acknowledging who she was. It was so accepted that they were even disappointed that her partner was not able to attend the reunion due to work commitments....
This ice cream is all about those classic childhood s’mores flavors—vanilla ice cream, slightly charred marshmallows, crispy graham crackers, and chocolate to bring it all together. It is sweet, so a little goes a long way. What Is Custard? I prefer to use custard as my ice cream base regardless of how I flavor it, and here’s why. Custards are made with eggs. Egg yolks contain lecithin, which are chains of fatty acids that make great emulsifiers....

What Is an English Breakfast? There’s a lot going on with the full English breakfast. Typically, there would be bacon and a few types of sausage on the plate, along with simmered beans, roasted mushrooms and tomatoes, and fried eggs. Normally, these things are cooked in separate skillets, then assembled together on the plate. By the way, an Irish Breakfast is similar, but usually includes different kinds of meat or other proteins and a few different puddings....
