Pork Chop with White Wine Sauce / Tostone Tostada with Stewed Chicken & Parsnip Hot Sauce / Norwegian Fish Pudding

Blog Post & Recipe: Pork Chop with White Wine Sauce

A creamy, white wine sauce is perfect with either chicken or pork – the white meats are delicate enough to let the nuances of white wine shine through.

Blog Post & Recipe: Tostone Tostada with Stewed Chicken and Parsnip Hot Sauce

This one is almost like a crostini or toastada but it uses a fried plantain as the vessel for the delicious stewed chicken and hot sauce. Oh and the secret ingredient in the hot sauce? Parsnip.

Questioned about Indonesian food and how it is perceived, she says it is the most misrepresented cuisine of south-east Asia. ''But I believe it is the most majestic,'' she says.

Blog Post & Recipe: Creamed Turnips with Their Greens

I love turnips. They’re a highlight of the fall vegetable yield, but often overlooked I think. Though they look a bit like a parsnip, they have an underlying bite that sweet little parsnips lack. Maybe they’re the crotchety grandpa of the root vegetable world. The greens, like mustard or beet greens, are pretty thick. They need a decent boil, and, in this case, a nice creamy sauce.

Blog Post & Recipe: jibaritos with guava paste

Months ago I learned what a jibarito was, when I came across it on a blog. I bookmarked the recipe for this grilled cheese sandwich that uses ripe plaintain in place of bread, but I could never make it--I was missing a key ingredient. And then a few weeks ago, my aunt walked into the kitchen with it: guava paste! ... Having had it now, I can tell you that any jelly would make a decent substitute for guava paste, and jibaritos are special.

To add to the earthy bite of roasted figs we snipped some fresh sage to the recipe. Wonderful, fragrant sage rounded off the roasted figs beautifully and the addition of some red wine really finished off the recipe perfectly.

Blog Post & Recipe: Irish Ale Battered Fish + Chickpea Chips

These chips are somewhat time-consuming upfront, but well worth the trouble. Totally delicious and marginally more healthy than potatoes because chickpeas are protein packed. In fact, you could make a meal out of the chickpea chips alone.

Bone Marrow Dumplings / 5 Quince Recipes / Roasted Blackfish with Olives and Sage

From the section titled “Getting to the Marrow”

Marrow is more versatile than you might think. Apart from eating it straight from the bone, you can use it like you would any other fat, adding it to dumplings, hamburgers, and dessert. It is also an excellent fat for sautéing and frying.

Blog Post & Recipes: On the Savory Side: 5 Quince Recipes

Quince are too astringent and rather unpleasant to eat raw and their skins are quite tough and even waxy. But once you get beyond this, when cooked and baked, they're sheer bliss.

Blog Post & Recipe: Cook the Book: Roasted Blackfish with Olives and Sage

Instead of overpowering the delicate fish, the sage and olives do a wonderful job bringing out its oceanic sweetness with hints of brine and herbal green notes. The lemon lends that acid zip that every piece of fish benefits from and a sprinkling of hot chile at the end gives it a pleasantly warm top note.

Blog Post & Recipe: Sweet Potato With A Poached Egg & Tangy Arugula Sauce

I also find myself wishing more restaurants made tasty and healthier veggie variations on the classic poached egg meal. So, I’m constantly racking my brain for creative ideas on how to put a tasty twist on it. I’ve made it with an artichoke heart as the base with a red pepper aioli, and I’ve made it with avocado, sauteed tomatoes and shallots and a Greek yogurt hollandaise sauce. My most recent preparation, and perhaps my new favorite, was inspired by a ton of leftover arugula in my refrigerator.

Gaji Bokkeum (Stir-fried Eggplants) / Battered Fish / Parsnip & Cocoa Nib Cake

Recipe: Sunday Supper: Fried Sweetbreads with Carrot Salad

Sweetbreads are the thymus or pancreas (neck and stomatch sweetbread, respectively) of a calf. They are subtly flavored and have a delicate texture, and are an excellent introduction to those who are a little wary of offal. Sweetbreads are a treat. This is a simple preparation that adds some crunch to the soft nuggets of sweetbreads.

Blog Post & Recipe: Simple Grilled Fish with Basil

Let me start by saying that I almost always cook bass-like fish whole. Why? They have huge heads for their size, and big, round rib cages. This means you get a paltry yield off them if you try to fillet the fish. Unless you are very good, your yield will be barely 30 percent of live weight. Contrast that with salmon, where you can get upwards of 60-70 percent.

Blog Post & Recipe: A healthy cooking technique made fragrant, delicious: Chinese-style Steamed Fish

Bamboo steamers have become the traditional and most popular tool for steaming foods. We certainly love ours. But there are ways to steam food if you don’t have one. One is to set a wire cake rack inside a deep, lidded skillet large enough to accommodate a glass pie plate or other vessel to hold the food you’re steaming. That method works well for this dish.

Article & Recipe: Dry-braised stuffed okra makes for a tender dish

I also wanted to stuff the vegetable, and experimented with a few combinations. Minced anchovy mixed with sweet and smoked paprikas turned out to be a Food & Wine staff favorite. It didn't take a lot of stuffing to fill the lengthwise slit in the okra, and the flavors were plenty intense. You can hold the stuffed okra for several hours before cooking. Brown them in a hot skillet lightly coated with oil, then reduce heat to low, cover and cook until tender.

It's so safe you could even enlist the wee folk for this task!

Fried fish bones taste like what you imagine of thin and delicate bones: crunchy at the thick parts and crispy at the thin parts, with a slightly fishy flavor.

Blog Post & Recipe: vegetable tamarind soup, sayur asam

I think almost all South East Asian countries have their own version of tamarind-based soup, slightly spicy with loads of soft vegetables. Malaysians with their laksa soup, Filipinos with sinigang, Thais with tom yam. Sourish tamarind deserves much more credits than it already has. It is one of the ingredients that made our cuisine as exotic as it now is.

Our tamarind soup uses sliced tamarind (asam potong) and salam leaves with vegetables that can nicely soak up all the beautiful flavors from tamarind, bay leaves, lemongrass, palm sugar (gula merah) and chilies.

The three lamb recipes I’m proposing for your holiday table look similar and indeed are similar to one another; after all, they’re all roasted lamb legs in a Mediterranean mode. But they’re quite distinct in terms of flavor and technique: one is made with a simple if exotic dry spice rub; one is slathered with yogurt and sweet seasonings; and the third is smeared with an herb paste not unlike classic pesto.
