Introducing Serious Eats Recipes

At Serious Eats we love to eat and cook. Some of us here at SE world headquarters cook for therapeutic reasons at the end of a long, stress-filled day. Others, like me, cook most often when we have the luxury of time, on the weekends and on vacation. But the point is we all like to cook, and we found out after getting our survey back that many of our fellow Serious Eaters do, too. So from now on we are going to post at least one recipe every day Monday through Friday 52 weeks a year. That's our plan, anyway. Who knows what will happen once recipes start to appear regularly on Serious Eats. All hell could break loose,...

'4 Stars' Is Now 'Required Eating'

Hi, Serious Eaters! You've been giving us feedback over the last couple of weeks, and we've been listening. One thing you've told us after licking the bowl is that our "4 Stars" section was needlessly confusing. We've gone back into the kitchen, adjusted the "4 Stars" recipe, and what we've baked up, we hope, is infinitely more palatable. We've renamed it "Required Eating," which better conveys what this section is—links to the best food and food-related content that we can find. Bon appétit!...

Keep 'Em Coming, but What About R.W. Apple

The contest entries have been extraordinary, and keep them coming, but the piece by my buddy Johnny Apple in yesterday's Times should have reminded all of us that Apple was an inspiration to all food writers and food lovers. Nobody bought more passion and knowledge, not to mention reportorial skill and know-how, to food writing than Johnny. Johnny's posthumously published story yesterday had me thinking about jumping on a series of planes immediately, and I don't have the frequent flyer miles or the cash to do so....

Serious Eats Rorschach, Day 2

The response to the Food Rorschach test has been overwhelming and extremely gratifying. So gratifying that I feel compelled to offer a second food rorschach, based in part on questions posted by readers. And maybe what we'll do is try to do a single food rorschach question every day. I figure between our collective imaginations we should be able to come up with one good one a day for the foreseeable future. And if it stops being fun and starts to seem forced, you'll tell me and we'll stop. So here is the Day 2 Rorschach Test: 1) Thin or Thick-Crusted Pizza (Known in certain locales as a casserole) 2) Fried Chicken Drumstick or Wing 3) Ruffles or Regular Potato...
