Grilled Tilapia

Southwest Spiced Grilled TilapiaThis seasoning blend really works well with fish. I was very pleased with the flavor when I took it off the grill, put it on my plate, and took my first bite!

It doesn’t get much simpler than this. Mix the spices, spice the fillets, and grill them up.

11 Chillies You Should Know

null
In the past year or two, I've noticed certain chilies coming to the fore, in my own cooking and others', so I put together this list of chilies that are worth seeking out. It's based on my own predilections and those of a few farmers, other hot sauce fiends, and chefs, and it includes chilies ranging from the not-very-hot to the frankly painful. (Sometimes I like them that way.)

Smoky and Savory Ways to use Pepperoni

null
Pepperoni is still number one among pizza toppings, but beyond that, it hardly gets any respect. Admittedly, it's not the fanciest salami around, but it's smoky, fatty, and delicious—what's not to respect? Keep reading for 10 recipes (only two of which can reasonably be called pizzas) that will display your humble supermarket salami in a whole new light.

Potato Pizza

potato pizza (pizza con potate)
I have been holding out way too long on giving one of the great Roman pizzas, pizza con potate e rosmarino (which, like most things, sounds much sexier in Italian than the thudful translation of “potato pizza with rosemary”) the adoration-driven revisit it deserves on this site. I first talked about potato pizza here in 2008, but I never felt that the recipe did it justice. Jim Lahey, who had recently blown up everything we knew about making bread with his brilliant no-knead boule, was preparing to open a pizza place and had shared his potato pizza recipe with Martha Stewart, but I’d had trouble with it — the proportions seemed off (not enough potato, a persnickety dough), it was low on details I needed (like how big it was supposed to be), and it had pesky steps (like soaking the potatoes in several changes of ice water, so not fun if one lacks one of those fancy fridges with icemakers). But it wasn’t until went to Rome in 2013 that I realized exactly how far off it was from the ideal. (Don’t worry, Lahey is going to come rescue us in a bit.)

Vegan Snacks to Satisfy Every Cravings!

null

There are plenty of options that require little to no prep, but, to keep your taste buds on board with this new approach to eating, it's worthwhile to try out some more involved dips, finger foods, and small bites. Here are 18 to start with.

This is a must try!

sesame soba and ribboned omelet salad
In times of lots of worry and little sleep, like most of us, I return to my comforts and staples: avocado toasta great pot of meatballs, and as many ways as I can find to intersect noodles and eggs. While I am fairly certain I could live off this fiery, crunchy spaghetti pangrattato with crispy eggs for the rest of my life, as bits of spring have been in the air, I am always ready for fresh takes on cold noodles.
