Vegetable Curry

A complex and flavorful curry with vegetables front and center requires a few tricks—the bar is definitely higher here compared with a meat-based curry, where deeper, more complex flavor is inherently easier to achieve. We developed this bold curry for vegetable lovers unwilling to make compromises on flavor but also reluctant to spend hours in the kitchen. This recipe, which is more streamlined than most, uses supermarket staples and store-bought curry powder and garam masala, which we toast in a dry skillet to ramp up their flavor. With chickpeas, potatoes, cauliflower, and peas, it offers an interesting and appealing combination of textures and flavors.

Pork Lo Mein

Order pork lo mein from your typical take-out joint, and the dish invariably disappoints with greasy flavors and sodden vegetables. We wanted a version representative of the best any good Chinese home cook could turn out: chewy noodles tossed in a salty-sweet sauce and accented with bits of smoky char siu (barbecued pork) and still-crisp cabbage. Fresh Chinese noodles gave us the good, wheaty taste and firm texture we were after, and we also discovered that dried linguine worked just as well and was easier to find. We used our meat marinade as a sauce base, with a little chicken broth and a teaspoon of cornstarch for added body. After less than an hour of active cooking time, we had a pork lo mein with the flavor and texture that Chinese takeout rarely delivers.

Extra-Crunchy Fried Chicken

Fried chicken is pretty straightforward: you coat chicken pieces in flour or batter and drop them into hot oil. And while fried chicken is a pretty basic dish, there is a little more to making the very best fried chicken. In this online class, you will learn how to achieve an extra crispy golden coating as well as perfectly cooked chicken. You will discover important details of what chicken to use, how best to prepare it, and when you know it’s properly cooked. For the coating, you will learn a simple method to an extra crispy coating that is a real crowd pleaser. And forget the deep fat frying—we skip the quarts of oil and settle for 4 cups, which slows the cooking down just enough to ensure perfectly cooked chicken just as the coating crisps and browns. We will even show you how to reheat your leftover fried chicken so it’s as crispy as when it came out of the pot.
