The Food Lab Thanksgiving Special: Gingery Glazed Carrots
On paper, glazing vegetables seems very simple, but there's more to it than just cooking some root vegetables with a bit of butter and liquid in a skillet.Cooking with Kids: Spiced Carrot and Walnut Bread
I promise this isn't the usual (vaguely insulting) case of "Here's how to sneak vegetables into your kids' diet!" I've actually been making this moist, fragrant quick bread for years, and not just because it's virtuous. I return to the recipe because it's so flavorful—moist and rich from the carrots and toasted walnuts, not too sweet and fantastic with a steaming mug of Earl Gray.Video: New Baby Carrots Marketing Campaign
Baby carrots are tired of being considered so baby carrot-ish. They want to be cool like junk food! As part of a new ad campaign "Eat 'Em Like Junk Food," here are three new ads for baby carrots, where they strive to be seductive (oh, baby...carrots), sci-fi-futuristic, and as X-TREME as pterodactyls. Watch the ads, after the jump.Sous-Vide 101: Glazed Carrots
I'm the first to admit that sous-vide is not the best way to cook everything, and that goes for the majority of my favorite vegetables. Peas, asparagus, ramps—all those delicious, fresh spring flavors do better with a quick blanch or a sauté. That said, there are some vegetables for which sous-vide cooking can't be beat. For me, carrots top that list. When cooked in a sealed bag with a little bit of butter, sugar, and salt, the natural flavor of the carrot intensifies into a sweeter, stronger, and downright tastier version of itself.Knife Skills: How to Cut Carrots
Along with the past two installments, this week's knife skills column wraps up the traditional mirepoix combination of onions, celery, and carrots. After this, you are fully armed to at least begin cooking any number of traditional French and Italian dishes.How to Make Battuto: The Italian Soffritto
Although you hardly hear the word anymore—it's even hard to find in classic Italian cookbooks—battuto is basically an Italian (and much more fun to say) term for finely chopped aromatics (apparently, the words translates as "beaten"). Usually it's a combo of onions, celery, carrots, garlic and parsley cooked in fat such as lard or, more recently, butter or olive oil, and it can sometimes includes a meat like pancetta, bacon or prosciutto. But almost always it's the first element of a dish to hit the pan, and the one that makes you close your eyes and hum after taking the first bite later on.How to Make Olive Penguins
Penguin parts. These are probably meant for six-year olds, but they still provide me with gobs of joy. All you need is a black olive (for the penguin head), a bigger one (for the bulbous bod), a little carrot medallion (with a triangle sliced out for the beak), and a mozzarella ball (or cream cheese works). Extra credit if you can make them an edible igloo. It's pretty self-explanatory but check out mathea.tanner's adorable Flickr photos or if you really need step-by-step instructions, here you go.

[Photograph: Alastair Levy] Something about receiving a big raw vegetable in the mail sounds way more appealing than a flat paper envelope. Maybe it's the whole image of a mailman stuffing it into the letter drop. This was taken by UK photographer Alastair Levy. [via Swiss Miss] Related Video: The Juiced Carrots So many carrots!

Behold, the freakiest video of juicing carrots you will ever see. If you never thought carrot juice looked like blood before, that'll change after watching this short film by Paul Whittington of Orange Core Films. Watch the video after the jump....Hot Topics: Technique of the Week | The Food Lab
