This is Julia Child's traditional take on the simple yet aromatic Provencal vegetable soup. What distinguishes this soup from similar ones is the freshness of its vegetables and the incorporation of pistou, a sauce made with garlic, basil, tomato, and cheese. Each time I prepare this, I'm amazed by the flavor of the broth that this recipe produces. Annotated Cooknotes: This is a quick and straightforward soup. It's also perfect for using up leftovers from the fridge. If you

This rich and comforting chicken stew is quick enough for a weeknight dinner but hearty enough for a leisurely Sunday meal. Boneless chicken thighs are preferred over breasts because they retain their juiciness longer. Cooking them in the stew with sweet paprika, chicken stock, and a hint of apple cider vinegar enhances the flavor remarkably, while dried herbs and a variety of vegetables add depth and texture. It comes from the New York Times Cooking App. Annotated Cooking No

This recipe is from Chef Steve at Vivaldi restaurant in Toronto, Canada, but it's a simple, straightforward falafel recipe. I adore falafel, and making it at home can be both delicious and enjoyable. Annotated Cooking Notes : Two things about making homemade falafel. You really want to keep the oil temperature low; it will keep your falafel tender. Secondly, it's worth getting a falafel press. Since you need to soak the chickpeas overnight, you can easily order one from Amaz

I'm always a fan of natural ingredients over processed chemical ingredients. Could you make an Onion Dip by using a packet of stuff? Yes, will it taste as good as a Dip made from Onions? No. This recipe is easy and straightforward to make; it just takes a little time to caramelize the onions. Ingredients 2 tablespoon Olive Oil 1 large Yellow Onion (cut into even 1/4-inch thick rings) 1 clove Garlic (minced) 1 1/2 cup Sour Cream 3/4 cup Mayonnaise Kosher Salt Pepper Directions

This is another family reciper that is a hit on our mezza table. And again it could not be easier to put together. Annotated Cooking Notes: I just pulled the cheese right out of the package, it's probably better if spread a little thinner, maybe use a spatula to press it down, but you're gonna up the mess factor. Ingredients 1 package Alouette Garlic Herb cheese spread 1 jar Dalmatia Spread Sour Cherry - 8.5 Oz 1 package of unsalted, already shelled pistachios. Baked Crack

There's a tradition that eating collard greens on New Year's Day brings wealth and prosperity for the coming year, as the green leaves represent paper money (like "greenbacks"). This is especially true when they are served with black-eyed peas (representing coins) and cornbread (symbolizing gold) for a prosperous meal. My mother brought these recipes from the Appalachian Mountains of West Virginia and prepared them every year. Hearty Greens are ideal for cold winter nights. A

I discovered a video on YouTube from "Kitchen in the Shire" in which she referred to a dish as "The Egg Thing," which she learned from a lady at the Norwegian Church. After some research and discussions with my Norwegian in-laws, I found out that the actual name is Strata, but "Egg Thing" is quite fitting too! In Norway, this dish is a traditional Christmas morning favorite. It's similar to a cheesy bread pudding and kind of like a quiche. Annotated Cooking Notes: You can def

This recipe is from Eva over at Pastagrammer.com . It takes a while to cook, but it can be made well in advance. You can cook this dish hours ahead of time, let the ingredients sit, and quickly toss them together for dinner. Secra e Suriaca literally translates to Swiss chard and beans.

Yes, this recipe can intimidate people, but that is only because poaching eggs are scary; if you follow the process, it's not hard to master the technique.

This recipe is divine and perfect for that Sunday Brunch w/ friends. it's easy to make this visually stunning and can be a show stopper to your table. Julia's Hollandaise sauce is a simple recipe that is perfect for p

This recipe and I have an interesting history. I first tried gnudi at my all-time favorite restaurant, Animal. The moment I tasted it, I fell in love with the silky velvet texture. It took me several months and several conversations with several Chefs de Cuisine of Animal and head chef Vinny Dotolo. The word gnudi translates to nude and refers to a naked ravioli. So essentially, these are raviolis without the pasta dressing. Annotated Cooking Notes: A few things. 1) You need

Growing up in an Armenian family, tabbouleh was a frequent dish on our dinner table. It's a vibrant, refreshing burst of flavor, and for me, it embodies the taste of home, love, and tradition in every spoonful. Annotated Cooking Notes: This is almost identical to my mom's recipe, but it originates from feelgoodfoodie.net . Yumna, the cook, made some excellent choices. The first is soaking the bulgur in the dressing. While my mom used to soak the wheat in water and prepare th
