• a neater way to cook and crisp bacon

  This technique is great for small batches of bacon. The addition of water keeps the initial cooking temperature low and gentle, so the meat retains its moisture and stays tender. This also prevents oil from splattering everywhere. By the time the water reaches its boiling point (212°F), the bacon fat is almost completely rendered, so you're much less likely to burn the meat while waiting for the fat to cook off. The meat plumps up while it cooks instead of shriveling, leaving the bacon pleasantly crisp, not tough or brittle. baconwater

• Antipasto

  We were very proud when Mom would make one of her colorful antipasti for church gatherings, but we loved to have them at home, all to ourselves. Mom had learned to make this dish when she married Dad. The antipasto is the first, or appetizer, course in Italian cuisine. The course begins the meal by introducing a variety of tastes, awakening the palate to what will follow. In Italy, the contents of the antipasto vary from season to season, depending on what is available, and the course is often served buffet-style, with many separate offerings. In Roseto, Pennsylvania, the plated antipasto often includes garden vegetables canned throughout the year, and the hostess served the antipasto with drinks while dinner was cooking. Either way, it's easy to do and doesn't involve any cooking. It's perfect if you're hosting guests for cocktails before dinner out. romaine lettucewhite albacore tunaroasted red pepperspepperoncini peppersFresh Italian parsleyhard-boiled eggsanchoviesblack olivesgreen olivesGenoa salamiprosciuttoartichoke heartsmushroomsCheddar cheeseMonterey Jack cheeseolive oil

• Arrabbiata Sauce

  For parties and special occasions we'd veer away from the basic marinara sauce and do something different, like an arrabbiata sauce. This spicy version of the basic marinara sauce can add a lot of interest to pasta. (Arrabiata means angry in the case of a person, and in the case of a dog, mad.) We think that Dad liked to make the arrabbiata sauce just so he could ask Checka if she was arrabbiata. Of course, it's now Checka who wears the mantle of best arrabbiata sauce maker in the clan. olive oilgarlicsmall onionsmall hot pepperBasic Tomato Saucesaltfreshly ground black pepperItalian parsleyParmigiano-Reggiano

• baby back ribs

  In May 2005, when Carm's younger brother, Butchok, graduated from San Francisco State University, Collin and Carm threw a party in Butch’s honor at their home. Collin and Carm made Mrs. Oguro's recipe for ribs. Everyone loved the ribs. onions and garlicsalt and pepperbaby back ribsbarbecue sauce
• baby chili

  In this scaled down version of the Cook's Illustrated chili recipe, the portion is smaller and the seasoning is lighter. Spicy elements have been eliminated. This recipe is perfect for babies who have already been introduced to solids (about 8 months old). The meat is so tender they can easily chew it with their gums. Plus the meat consumption helps with their iron intake. :) ground beefwatersaltpepperbaking sodaground cumingarlic powderground corianderdried oreganodried thymewhole peeled tomatoesvegetable oiloniongarlicwatersugarcider vinegarcilantro

• Basic Tomato Sauce

  The secret of our sauce is to let it cook its way to a depth of flavor possible only with meatballs simmering in the pot. If you can make some time to prepare our basic sauce ahead of time, even freezing it, it's amazing how you can turn a weekday into the real Italian thing. You can get the sauce started in a large pot while you make the meatballs. Grandmom liked to sauté her meatballs before placing them in the pot; Mom just put them right in without frying. tomatoestomato pastewatergarlic saltfreshly ground black pepperolive oilItalian seasoningpork bonesalt

  Our fall intern Darren indicated in his flavor profile that he really likes beef machaca. No one on the team had tasted machaca before, so we set out to make it. Our recipe has been combined and adapted from the ones posted on Food Network and Epicurious. We served this with the coleslaw recipe from Bakesale Betty's. The machaca and the coleslaw were delicious together! Standing at 6 feet tall, Darren is the tallest member of our team. He towers over all of us, so we've nicknamed Darren "Big D." :) lime juiceworcestershire sauceMaggiwatergarlicserrano chilecuminchili powdersalt and pepperolive oilskirt steakvegetable oilyellow onionbell peppergarlicserrano chilesdried oreganocuminsalt and pepperbeef brothdiced tomatoesTabascosalt and peppertortillaslimesalsalettuceguacamole

• braised short ribs in red wine sauce

  This is such a delicious and easy way to prepare braised short ribs. The pressure cooker does most of the heavy lifting. You just need to brown the meat, soften the veggies, toss in some flour, then add everything else. The frozen pearl onions help reduce prep time.

• carne norte (filipino corned beef)

  Filipinos love their food with garlic, onions, and tomato, and corned beef is no exception. Carne norte is an easy and savory option for brunch, dinner, or even a hangover. :) The proportions above are estimated, so feel free to adjust to taste. Since everything stews together, the ingredients don't need to be cut perfectly. We sometimes top our carne norte with an overeasy egg. Leftovers easily go into a toasted carne norte sandwich the next day. One of us learned how to cook this in college while hovering over the stove on the phone with our mom. This dish was a big hit among college friends. canola oiloniongarliccorned beeftomatowatersteamed ricegreen onionsTabasco
• carroll shelby's chili

  Carroll Shelby was a car designer, most famous for the Shelby Mustangs, yet also famous for his chili mix. We always have a packet in our pantry. This recipe is easy to make and tastes way better than canned chili. We've modified the ingredients and proportions to our taste, and we sometimes make it ahead of time then simmer it on low to reheat it. It seems to taste better the next day.

• charles phan's hainan chicken

  This recipe is one of our favorite preparations for a whole chicken. While we've adapted this recipe from Charles Phan's Slanted Door, we've made a few modifications. First, we use duck fat instead of chicken fat, mostly because we never have chicken fat on hand but duck fat is easily accessible from our butcher. Second, we cycle our chicken broth forward so that we have broth on hand for the next time we make this dish, see notes for more details. We also serve the whole chicken, including the breast. Last, we emulate the preparation from SF's Khin Khao in that we serve it with well-seasoned chicken broth on the side. kosher saltwhole chickengingergreen onionssaltduck fatjasmine ricegarlicThai chiligingerfish saucelimesugarcilantro
• charles phan's hot and sour shrimp

  We make this whenever we can get our hands on bac ha, which is the stem of the taro plant. We usually find it at the Asian market. It kind of looks like styrofoam when sliced, but it has a delicious crunchy texture that holds in the soup. Because the soup base is simmered and strained for the first phase, there's no need to pick out the seeds from the "seedless" tamarind paste. The paste will break up in the hot broth and the seeds will be separated when the soup is strained. chicken stockseedless tamarind pulpthai chilesavocado oilgarlicfish saucefreshly squeezed lime juicekosher saltshrimppineapplemung bean sproutsbac hafresh cilantrotoasted garlic

  When our family travelled to Washington DC in 2010 to visit the Anthonys, their long-time family friends, they came home with this amazing chicken caesar salad recipe. We'll often make this after a trip to Costco. We'll shred the breast from the rotisserie chicken, make the croutons from their roasted garlic bread, and cut up romaine lettuce from there. This is a versatile and tasty dish that can be portioned as an appetizer or as a meal.

• ferran adria’s bolognese sauce

  We decided to make this sauce in order to make use of leftover ingredients in the fridge. We ate some for that night’s dinner, stored some in the fridge for use later in the week (it keeps for 5 days), then packed some up in a food saver bag and threw it in the freezer (keeps for 6 months). We are now one simple overnight defrost and a quick pot of pasta away from an easy and delicious dinner! Because we are huge fans of lamb, we’ll probably use ground lamb the next time we make it. And to help shave a few calories and reduce some guilt, we’ll use less butter. :) Adapted from the basic recipes chapter in Ferran Adria’s The Family Meal. The lessons learned in the chapter’s preface is just as valuable as the recipe itself. The preface emphasizes the benefits of cooking base components, such as sauces and stocks, in large freezable quantities. Doing so expands the number of everyday recipes you can quickly make. butterground beefpork sausage meatonionscelerycarrotsextra-virgin olive oilcanned chopped tomatoestomato pastesugar

  This is another great recipe that our friend Brent shared with us. We sat on it for a while and were skeptical of the recipe since it came from a celebrity who we didn't know cooked. But Brent kept asking us if we had made it yet, as he truly vouched for it, so we gave it a shot. This recipe is definitely a keeper! The flavors were rich and robust, and the dumplings turned out light and fluffy. This meal is hearty, so you might want to avoid it if you are on a diet. We would make this dish again to share with family. Everything can be made ahead up to the point of the dumplings.

  Brace yourself... even though Jacques Pepin (JP) makes it look really easy, procuring and cooking this set of recipes is really a small project. Although we had to go to research morel mushroom prices and go to different stores to get the rabbit, horseradish, and morels, this small project was well worth the effort. The original Jacques Pepin recipe yields 4 servings of stew and saddle steak. I rewrote the recipe since we decided to spread the meals out over a few days since we are just a household of 2.

• jacques pepin's consommé recipe

  Broth is one of the most fulfilling things you can make in the kitchen. Consommé is the funnest magic trick you can do with your broth. Here’s how I got there. Sick in bed one day in May with the worst allergy attack of my life, I watched the DVD that came with the Jacques Pepin (JP) book Essential Pepin. In a KQED radio interview, JP said that the DVD was more valuable than the book, so I think to myself, "word, I better check this out!" In addition to lots of timeless techniques that he integrates into his show, the DVD also contained a segment where JP turned cloudy soup stock into crystal clear broth called consommé. I was so amazed that I made consommé as soon as I was feeling better.

We were pleased with the result and would definitely make it again the next time we have unused chicken skin.

  We first tasted Turkish food when we traveled to Istanbul in 2007. During an al fresco lunch, we tasted a little bit of everything and really liked it.

  Once you defrost a package of lumpia wrapper, you end up wasting it if you don't use it all up.

We paired it with a cucumber yogurt dipping sauce and some cilantro chutney. This unexpected appetizer tasted delicious with both dips.

  When I was growing up, having my grandma’s bistec for a meal always excited me! I’d be delighted to eat it for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. I love its saltiness and tanginess. I love how the flavor of the sauce gets into the onions and the rice. Bistec is a Filipino home-cooking dish that is essentially thin slices of beef marinated in lemon and soy sauce. The beef is seared and browned, the onions are sautéed, and a reduction sauce from the fond and drippings naturally emerges. This dish is a crowd pleaser for casual settings.

• numnums broth with kombu and special effects

  We always have home made broth in the freezer. When a recipe calls for broth, we just unmold the frozen broth from the container directly into a saucepan and then thaw it over medium-low heat. Our recipe will often vary, and in the photos above, we mixed and matched recipe components to come up with 3 different formulas. It always involves our vegetable and herb trimmings that we store in a ziplock bag in the freezer, aka our "gnarly bag." It always involves chicken bones from the butcher, and sometimes frozen chicken carcasses that we've saved from Costco rotisserie chicken. We kick it off in the morning, then strain and store the broth at the end of the day. We have all hands on deck involving all of the large pots that we own. The special effects include the following: kombu (dried edible kelp) for glutamates (compounds that add umami/savoriness), pulverized shiitake mushrooms for glutamates, vinegar to help extract minerals out of the bones, veal or other marrow bones for gelatin that's great for the skin, and ginger to aid with digestion. kombuchicken bonesveal marrow bonescold watervinegaronionherbes de Provenceclovesbay leavessoy saucegingergnarly bagshiitake mushrooms

The mushrooms on the bottom of the baking rack are an extra added bonus.

  Our Costco carries boneless short ribs, and when the marbling on them looks gorgeous, we always buy them. We often make braised short ribs in red wine sauce, but started to fear that we were going to tire of it, so we figured out a Korean way to prepare the boneless short ribs. We basically took the seasoning from one of our kalbi jjim recipes and combined it with the technique from the recipe for braised short ribs in red wine sauce. We're a fan of this technique because you simply brown the meat, then throw everything in the pot and set it and forget it.

  These wings are a more advanced version of the basic Korean chicken wings we used to make. The wings are sticky, slightly sweet, spicy, and they pack a punch! These are most delicious when eaten immediately ... with beer. :) Additional instructions have been included for preparing part of the wings for children who are not yet accustomed to so much heat. sugarsesame oilfish saucelime juicesoy saucegarlicgingergochujangchicken wingssesame seedsgochugarugochujanghoneyrice vinegarcoconut oilflourcoarse salt
• spicy eggplant, pork, and tofu stir fry
• spicy korean pork stir-fry

  This is a quick, easy, and tasty way to cook up pork tenderloin. Sometimes we don't have all the prescribed ingredients on hand, so we make do with what we have. We once made it though with dried shiitake mushrooms. It didn't taste amazing, so we'd recommend using fresh shiitakes every time. Toss the ingredients in the non-stick skillet to get the best coverage possible. sugargochugarugochujangsoy saucesojuscallionsyellow oniongarlicfresh gingerpork loinvegetable oilcarrotlong red chile peppersnap peasshiitake mushroomswhite rice

  Who would have thought to mix kimchi with butter? David Chang of NYC’s Momofuku did! The little bits of kimchi butter made each bite taste like heaven!

  Trader Joe's sells 3 pounds bags of organic sweet potatoes, but the First Descents' recipe for Sweet Potato Soup calls for 2 pounds. We cook this humble soup often, so to save ourselves from doing the math over and over again, we simply wrote our own version of this recipe with the converted measurements and ingredient replacements that we prefer. buttershallotthymechicken brothsweet potatosweet potato peelsaltpeppercider vinegarmaple syrupsalt and pepper
• Thai Basil Chicken - Gai Pad Krapow

  These flavorful bits of meat are easy for kids to eat. Just be sure to reduce or eliminate the chili for children's servings. We freeze this dish into small cubes for easy lunches for our daughter. We often double this easy recipe to make sure that we have enough leftovers for the freezer. oilbirds eye chilishallotgarlicground chickensoy saucefish saucehoneychicken brothThai basilquinoa or brown rice
• Thai chicken & mushroom soup (doubled for parties and to store)

  I made this soup for friends and family during the 2013 holiday season. Everyone loved it! Processing the lemongrass and shallots is the most time-consuming part, so I now chop it up in a food processor. I'll make this doubled version of the recipe for parties, or I cook half of it at a time for smaller groups. To make the soup a meal, serve it over steamed brown rice. vegetable oilshallotslemongrasscilantrofish saucechicken brothcoconut milkcoconut milksugarwhite mushroomsskinless chicken breastslime juiceThai red curry pastefish saucesteamed brown ricecilantro leavesserrano chilesscallionslimes
• thanksgiving turkey sopas

  Adapted from Jacques Pepin's cooked turkey carcass soup, the first taste of this reminded me of sopas, the chicken noodle soup that my family sometimes makes. To make it more closely resemble sopas, we've adjusted the proportions and even season it with Parmesan cheese. This is a great way to make use of the leftover turkey and bones after Thanksgiving. Don't forget to save the turkey juices for the soup! turkey bonesturkey juices or leftover garnisheswatercarrotsceleryleekfine egg noodlesParmesan cheese

• thirty-minute cassoulet

  Collin loves sausages and beans, so he naturally gravitated towards this recipe, which is Jacques Pepin's quick version of a cassoulet. The recipe calls for 1/2 cup of water, but after it simmers, it magically multiplies into a delicious, soupy base for the dish. It's the perfect dish to enjoy at the start of fall when the air first becomes brisk.

• torta, the filipino omelet

  This is one of my favorite Filipino home cooking dishes. It is a savory and satisfying meat omelet that is served as a main course over rice. Growing up, I’d always get excited when this was served for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Then in college, I’d make this for friends, and it’d always be a cost-effective crowd pleaser. This dish is great for families for that very reason, but it is also efficient because you can prepare and store the meat base in the fridge or freezer. Then when you need a quick, hearty meal, you just mix it up with eggs, cook it, and serve it with rice. Adapted from my mom’s recipe, initially transmitted through multiple phone calls while I hovered over the stove in college. avocado oilonionsgarlicground meatsaltpeppertomatoeggscreambuttercooked quinoaketchupTabasco

  In Tagalog, the word "baon" refers to a meal that you prepare at home and take with you. Yes, this is simply a recipe for a turkey sandwich. But we make this often for baon and for team lunch, so we use this checklist regularly to make sure that we have all the supplies we need on hand.
