Rib Roast

Try this Rib Roast recipe from the cookbook The Last Schmaltz. My mom hates a rib steak (too fatty), but the rest of the family loves it (so fatty). Steaks are one thing, but slow-roasting a whole or even a half bone-in roast to rare is the best. Cut it into huge…

Patty Melt

Try this Patty Melt recipe from the cookbook The Last Schmaltz. Not quite a hamburger and not quite a grilled cheese, this is a grilled cheese sandwich with a hamburger patty inside. It’s the best non-hamburger in Toronto, as voted unanimously by me. The grilled cheese is fried in butter and…

Nutella Babka Bread Pudding

Try this Nutella Babka Bread Pudding recipe from the cookbook The Last Schmaltz. I stand with Elaine Benes (you know, Elaine from Seinfeld) on the great babka debate. Cinnamon babka is a lesser babka than chocolate babka. By a longshot. In this recipe, the sourness of the labneh and the sweetness…

Ask A Chef: Hamachi Crudo

Chef Hunter Pritchett of L.A.’s Melody shares his recipe for Hamachi Crudo Q: Passing through East Hollywood on vacation, I spotted the coolest little French restaurant: Melody. My husband and I popped in for dinner and we loved everything we ate! The food was fresh and local — exactly what you’d…

Cheesy Korean Lobster Tails

Because the lobster is cut into chunks midway during the cooking process (making it easy to eat right out of the shell), a good pair of kitchen shears will serve you well when making this recipe. Gochujang, a fermented Asian red chili paste, adds a sweet and spicy kick.

Indian-Spiced Back Ribs With Mango Barbecue Sauce

Steaming pork ribs before they hit the grill is the best way to get fall-off-the-bone, tender meat. The juices from the ribs and the spices from the marinade are cooked down and, combined with mango chutney, create a lovely, sweet and sticky sauce.

All-American Smash Burgers

Keep the meat loose when forming the patties, and don’t worry if they aren’t perfectly symmetrical — trust me, no one will care!…

The Paloma

If you love a margarita, this will be your new summer sipper. It’s a refreshing blend of sweet and sour flavors.

Cauliflower Steak Provençal

Anchovies add a salty, briny taste to the sauce, but they can be omitted to make this recipe suitable for vegetarians and vegans.

La Palma’s Sous Vide Chilled King Salmon With Avocado And Citrus

Delicate items like salmon fillets have a tendency to stick together while cooking. To help separate them, make sure there’s adequate olive oil in the freezer bag. The fish will be very tender so take care when removing it from the bag.

Sous Vide Harissa Carrots With Crispy Chickpeas

If you can’t fit all the carrots into one freezer bag, use a second bag and add 3 tablespoons of oil and 1⁄2 teaspoon of both salt and sugar to the recipe. Make sure that the carrots lay flat so they’re evenly exposed to the heat. If the bag floats,…

Harissa Baked Chicken

Try this Harissa Baked Chicken recipe from the cookbook Levant. Heat can register on the palate in a myriad of ways: a jalapeño lands differently than wasabi, and the same goes for black pepper and harissa. The latter is my favorite for imparting both flavor and fire, just assertive enough to jolt a…

Fall Fatoush Salad

Try this Fall Fatoush Salad recipe from the cookbook Levant. As I was writing this book, summer turned to fall, and the leaves started to change colors. I thought about our family’s yearly trip upstate to see nature’s seasonal show and was inspired to create this autumn-themed salad. My son suggested I…
