| Latke Cookies Are a Hanukkah Miracle Posted: 30 Nov 2021 08:00 AM PST A Big Little Recipe has the smallest-possible ingredient list and big everything else: flavor, creativity, wow factor. That means five ingredients or fewer—not including water, salt, black pepper, and certain fats (like oil and butter), since we're guessing you have those covered. Inspired by the column, the Big Little Recipes cookbook is available now. Like, right now. Though latkes are inseparable from all the Hanukkahs of my life, the word itself is barely older than my grandmother. "Latke" nudged its way into the English language in 1927, thousands of years after the rededication of the Second Temple of Jerusalem. |
| 5 Best Meringue Powder Substitutes (Glossy Icing, Guaranteed) Posted: 30 Nov 2021 07:59 AM PST Royal icing is the glaze that makes sugar cookies look beautiful for holidays. They're what allows you to transform basic sugar cookies into iced pumpkins, snowflakes, Easter eggs, and Christmas trees. Making royal icing is simple and calls for only a few ingredients, but one of those ingredients is a bit unusual, especially if you're not a regular home baker—it's meringue powder! Meringue powder can easily be found in craft stores, big box retailers, and many grocery stores, but if you decide to bake a batch of sugar cookies on a whim in the middle of a blizzard, you may peer in your pantry and find that you're out of meringue powder (or maybe you never had it in the first place). There are several ways to go about replacing meringue powder, all without having to put your snow boots on. Here are our go-to meringue powder substitutes. From Our Shop But First, What Is Meringue Powder?Real quick: meringue powder is made up of a combination of cornstarch, egg whites, and sugar. There are some gums, preservatives, and artificial flavors added to most store-bought versions, but at its core, that's all meringue powder is. |
| 9 Gifts for Kids Who Love To Cook, According to a Kid Who Loves To Cook Posted: 30 Nov 2021 05:30 AM PST I live with my 4-year-old son Arthur (or Artie) in a relatively small apartment in Brooklyn, New York where we have only one real closet and almost every square inch is maxed out. For me, that means that every toy I buy for him has to cross off more than one box to make the cut. In a perfect world, all of his toys are fun, educational to some degree, and easy on the eyes (and ears). With the guidelines I've set for Artie, I've put together a list of gifts perfect for kids who love food and cooking. These beautiful and functional toys and accessories may just inspire a life-long interest in the culinary arts, which I already see in Artie. Now, if only I could figure out how to get him interested in cleaning up... |

| How to Bake Belgian Buns from 'The Great British Bake Off' Posted: 29 Nov 2021 01:45 PM PST Just as the tryptophan wore off on Friday morning, home cooks and bakers everywhere gathered around to watch the finale of 'The Great British Bake Off'. "You're going to have to use your baking knowledge on this one because we've taken out most of the method," said co-judge Paul Hollywood. For the technical challenge, the three remaining contestants—Chegs, Crystelle, and Giuseppe—needed to make one dozen Belgian buns filled with sultanas, which are a type of dried fruit similar to raisins or currants, and lemon curd. Belgian Buns are often compared to Chelsea Buns, which generally contain a brown sugar filling, dried fruit, and apricot jam. From Our Shop But what are Belgian Buns as seen on The Great British Bake Off, anyway? According to Paul Hollywood: |

| 28 Make-Ahead Christmas Appetizers for a Stress-Free Holiday Posted: 29 Nov 2021 09:00 AM PST A few years back, I came to the realization that the star of my holiday table is not in fact the turkey, or the ham, or even the crown rib roast. Though we all ostensibly come together for the picture-perfect moment when Dad carves up the big bird, or slices up the roast, the real excitement is the flurry of activity that happens around cocktail hour. Regardless of what's on the dinner menu, everyone jumps for the tartlets, canapés, and mile-long cheese board I place out hours before dinnertime. Who doesn't love tasting different bites of cheesy, gooey, savory snacks before all the mashed potatoes and gravy? I also realized that as much as my guests and I love appetizers, I seem to dread my appetizer prep each year (let's face it—making 100 of anything can be time-consuming and just a little stressful). But, knowing I couldn't give up my favorite little bites (give the people what they want!), I thought about what I could do to get them checked off the list well ahead of the big day. It soon dawned on me: If I chose wisely, many of my cocktail nibbles could be made weeks ahead of time and stockpiled in my freezer. |
| How Baba's Surprise Pastries Kept Our Family Together Posted: 29 Nov 2021 09:32 AM PST Good food is worth a thousand words—sometimes more. In My Family Recipe, a writer shares the story of a single dish that's meaningful to them and their loved ones. The packages began arriving in early April, a few weeks after the pandemic confined my father to his home. The first box contained sambusac, Iraqi pastries filled, variably, with chickpea paste, salted cheese, or a mix of nuts, sugar, and cinnamon. The next box carried kubbot, deep-fried Iraqi dumplings with ground meat, cumin, cardamom, and pine nuts. After that came jars of quince jam and Tupperwares of stuffed grape leaves, which we shared with our neighbors. The fifth box—this time at my son's request—delivered gaurag, a crunchy Iraqi flatbread, packaged in enough Bubble Wrap to survive the flight from Los Angeles to the Bronx intact. It did. |
