Do you like chicken? Then you’ll love garlic chicken, a classic recipe of chicken parts that have been browned in olive oil, then cooked with white wine and garlic. It’s also known as “40 Clove Chicken” because that’s how many garlic cloves you’ll use to make the dish. So, crazy right? 40 cloves? Here’s the thing. There’s something about the browning and stewing of the garlic that completely mellows it out....
This version falls somewhere in the middle. There’s nothing too adventurous about the stuffing, but the gouda cheese is a definite upgrade from cheddar or parmesan and melts beautifully in the mushrooms. The Best Mushrooms to Use for Stuffed Mushrooms When it comes to stuffed mushrooms, one element I don’t recommend upgrading is the actual mushroom itself. I use white button mushrooms. They are readily available, easy to prepare, and are the perfect size and texture for a stuffed mushroom....
The recipe I’m sharing today is one of my favorite versions. It has a bright strawberry and pineapple salsa that truly makes it taste of summer!

The salsa is made with pineapple and bright, juicy summer strawberries. If strawberries aren’t in season where you live, you can use blackberries, peaches, or even kiwi....

That’s the way it should be said if you are anywhere in the vicinity of New England, which is the birthplace of this wonderful clam stew. The word “chowder” is thought to have been derived from “chaudière,” an old French term for cauldron, or a big cooking pot. What Goes Into Clam Chowder? Traditionally, chowder is made with salt pork, onions, potatoes, milk or cream, butter, and fish like cod or haddock, or clams....
Cake Batter Up! Funfetti cake is cake with rainbow sprinkles folded into the batter that when baked looks like confetti. That’s why it’s sometimes called confetti cake. It is almost always flavored with vanilla as I do in this recipe, but some bakers, like Molly Yeh, add almond extract to mimic the boxed cake. To ensure the sprinkles pop, the cake itself is typically white or yellow. Yellow cake uses whole eggs—the yolk gives it a yellow hue—while white cake, like in this recipe, relies only on the egg whites....

It incorporates honey, an ingredient that is commonly enjoyed for the Jewish holiday because it symbolizes a sweet new year.

And then you added the simple syrup to the strained infusion–the climactic step–and the whole works turned cloudy. I feel ya. It happened to me. Don’t dump it! There’s a fix. It’s an unusual process, but it is pretty cool. You can clarify your Campari with what’s known as a milk wash. Why Homemade Campari Turns Cloudy Polyphenols are compounds found in many of the bitter botanicals used in making alcohol infusions like Campari....
There’s an easier way. Cut the whole head into quarters first, and then angle the knife to cut out the cores. Note that the cauliflower cores and leaves are perfectly edible; the cauliflower cores are much like broccoli cores. If you want, peel them and slice them for snacks, or chop them and cook them the way you would the florets. You can chop the core and leaves and cook them along with the florets....

Same goes for making sauerkraut from scratch. It’s simple in theory: combine shredded cabbage and salt, then wait. But if you, like me, set out to ferment your own kraut and failed multiple times, never fear! I learned the secrets the hard way, and now I’m going to share them with you.

First things first: start with fresh garlic! When buying garlic, leave behind any heads with green sprouts. You want garlic that’s firm, with the skin intact, not flaking off or splitting. Second: you can buy garlic in many forms, and that’ll make a difference in how you should store it. Here’s how to store the different forms of garlic: Whole Garlic Heads These have the longest shelf life of different garlic forms—up to six months, in fact, though there are a lot of variables at play: humidity, temperature, and the quality of the garlic itself....
