Dinner Tonight: Alice Waters' Gazpacho. [Photograph: Blake Royer] Gazpacho is all over the place in summertime. It's the iconic chilled summer soup; refreshing and acidic and featuring the almighty tomato at its seasonal peak.

Prepping a beer cooler for low-temp cooking [Photographs: J. Kenji Lopez-Alt] By this point, there is absolutely no question that the method of cooking foods at precise low-temperatures in vacuum-sealed pouches (commonly referred to as "sous-vide") has revolutionized fine-dining kitchens around the world.

There is not a Michelin-starred chef who would part easily with their Polyscience circulators.

Oven-baked Wild Mushroom Risotto - Risotto - Recipes - from Deli. I've always loved real Italian risotto, a creamy mass with the rice grains al dente – but oh, the bother of all that stirring to make it. Then, one day, I was making a good old-fashioned rice pudding and I thought, why not try a risotto in the oven?
