Kenji Lopez-Alt] It always baffles me when I hear statistics about lamb consumption in the US. And why? My bet's on the latter, and because I love lamb so hard, I'm going to try my best to remedy that situation, starting with the best way to cook a boneless leg of lamb. Sound good to you? Tame the Game Lamb meat is, by its very nature, gamey and barnyard-y tasting—it's one of the reasons why the meat is not as popular as mild chicken or beef, and while I personally love that funky aroma, when I cook for guests, I find ways to try and keep it at least slightly under wraps.

This is one of the many reasons I prefer cooking boneless lamb legs to on-the-bone roasts. Flavor Boost. The Food Lab Redux: Perfect Prime Rib. It's time for another round of The Food Lab.

Kenji Lopez-Alt] Is there anything more truly beautiful than a perfect prime rib? It's the roast that has most often graced my family's holiday table in various states of increasing deliciousness (I mean, you should see the overcooked, under-browned, dried up, flavorless things we used to eat!) Here is the state of the affairs in the Prime Rib Universe as they stand today.

How to Cook How do we get there? How to Carve. The Best Chocolate Chip Cookies. Mini Vanilla Wafer Cookies. Nilla Wafers are good cookies, if a bit on the boring side because they are so plain, and I always enjoyed eating them when I was little. After trying the Trader Joe’s Vanilla Wafers, cookies meant to be a gourmet version of the classic wafer cookies because they are loaded with lots of vanilla bean, I knew that I wanted to make a version myself.

I wanted to get a good flavor and to keep their kid-friendly appeal, as that is what drew me to the cookies initially. I ended up making miniature vanilla wafers. They’re crispy, have a good vanilla flavor and are ridiculously addictive. Their addictivenes comes from the fact that you can literally eat them by the handful. Each cookie is no larger than a dime in diameter! The hardest thing about getting this cookie recipe right was the coloring of the finished cookies. Since the cookies are so small, any variation in size will mean a change in baking time.

Creamy Crockpot Hot Cocoa {Best Ever!} I meant to start my Holiday goodies series on December 1st, but if you keep up with me on my facebook page, then you know that we had a water mishap.

A switch had gone bad on our water tank, & we had NO running water in the house for nearly 2 days. We were filling up containers of water from the neighbor’s outdoor spigot, & using that for all of our water needs. I had NO idea that it takes nearly 3 gallons of water to simply flush a toilet! If anything, my 2 day experience with no running water made me appreciate it so much more. I was cooking during the ordeal, then it came time to do the dishes – but kinda hard to do without water! I am SO glad that is over with now. I am starting off the Holiday goody season with my recipe for Hot Cocoa in the Crockpot. Decadent doesn’t even begin to describe this. Stir the cream, sweetened condensed milk, chocolate chips, milk, & vanilla together in your crockpot. Cover, & cook on low for 2 hours – coming back to whisk it every so often. Ingredients.

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! It is hard to believe that Christmas is less than a month away. As soon as Thanksgiving is over, I start thinking about Christmas baking. For my first treat of this Christmas season, I made Cranberry White Chocolate Chip Cookies.

Each year, as the days shorten and the nights get increasingly frigid, the hours I clock in the kitchen take a drastic tick upward. I crave braises, soups, and hearty baked goods to combat the chilly darkness. This season, the cookbook I’m turning to again and again for these cozy, warming dishes is Yvette Van Boven’s Home Made Winter. A follow-up to her first book, which was simply called, Home Made, this second volume is bursting with beautifully imperfect photography, charming line drawings, and enticingly seasonal recipes.

One of the things that makes this book so darn special is its visual appeal. On my initial trip through Home Made Winter, I made a list of 27 recipes that I want to try. First out of my kitchen was the Brown Soda Bread on page 23. Finally, I tried the Cranberry Clafoutis on page 224. Now, if you’ll excuse me, there’s a loaf of soda bread in the kitchen, calling my name. Brown Soda Bread Ingredients Instructions Preheat oven to 350°F.

Gentle Soup of Leeks & Chestnuts. Alt Pies | Table Matters. It wouldn’t be a true Thanksgiving without some pie after your turkey. But, at least in my house, which is probably true for many others, the Thanksgiving dessert spread hasn’t changed at all during my 20 years of existence (and probably for even longer than that). Classic desserts such as apple, pecan, and pumpkin pie are as important to Thanksgiving as the Macy’s Parade, the green bean casserole, or the yearly anticipation for Black Friday sales. But of late, I’ve grown restless with these traditional baked goods, and so I’ve decided to revamp the Thanksgiving dessert table. My quibble with the usual turkey day desserts is their predictability – their sugary predictability, that is.

After a coma-inducing overload of tryptophan from gorging myself on turkey, the last thing I need is a simultaneous sugar buzz from also eating too much pie. I started brainstorming some more savory, less sweet pies to round out a perfect Thanksgiving meal. (Not Mémère’s) Spiced-Out Chocolate Mousse Pie. Double Chocolate Peppermint Crunch Cookies.
