Serious Entertaining: Swedish Midsummer
As a country whose summer is relatively short, it's no surprise that Sweden goes all out for Midsommar, a celebration of the Summer Solstice that lasts a few days Of course when the sun doesn't set until the wee hours, my feeling is that every day should be a party. Here are some dishes you can make to celebrate the holiday.It's Memorial Day! Get off the Computer!
If you're reading this right now, you should probably stop and get yourself to the grill. That's where we'll be spending the day! And thanks to our grilling gurus Josh and Kenji, we've wised up with all the essential grilling tips. Armed with a plate full of our favorite summer recipes and a cold seasonal ale, we'll be relaxing outside today, away from this ol' computer guy. See you back here tomorrow!Serious Entertaining: Memorial Day
We're entering summer territory and my heart lifts at the thought of barbecues, sidewalk dining, and post-work "I can't believe it's still light out" drinking. I like to kick off my summer season by inviting over some friends and cooking up the types of dishes I look forward to most, such as blue cheese biscuits, spicy carrot salad, and cherry pie.Serious Entertaining: Cinco de Mayo
The truth is that Cinco de Mayo is primarily an American holiday, not a Mexican one. Does that mean that you should settle for bland bean burritos and margaritas mixed from a bottle? No, sir. Use this excuse to make some spicy guacamole, rockin tacos, and deeply chocolaty chocolate-chile cookies.Easter Recipes: Ham, Lamb, Sides, and Sweets
Will it be ham or lamb this year? It's always a battle between the two for the big Easter meal. While lamb is full of religious symbolism, the ham arguably makes for better leftover sandwiches. Whatever you decide, we have recipes for both, in addition to many springtime sides involving peas and asparagus, refreshing drinks, desserts, and homemade Easter basket treats.The Food Lab's Complete Guide To Buying, Storing, and Cooking a Leg of Lamb
I can think of only a precious few situations when I'd rather have a steak than a fatty, musky lamb chop. Or when I'd rather have a pot roast than a rich, slightly funky braised lamb shank. And when it comes to holiday roasts, the Prime Rib may be the king of the table, but the roasted leg of lamb is his wilder, funner cousin. Here's a guide to buying, seasoning, cooking, and carving lamb.Passover Recipes We Love
Here are some last-minute recipes for those chowing down at Seder tonight, or for any Passover meal during the next eight days. We've pulled out the brisket, matzo brei, Passover-friendly quinoa (when you're getting sick of all the potatoes!), flourless cakes and more from our favorite Jewish recipe authorities, including Arthur Schwartz, Joan Nathan, and Ed's wife Vicky who even pulled out the family heirloom recipes—on index cards!—for this. And the best way to wash down all that matzo? Kosher coke, of course.Serious Entertaining: Simple St. Patrick's Day Supper
I've made my fair share of soda breads, corned beef, and Guinness cakes over the years. This year I'm keeping it simple with a menu that honors some of Ireland's best ingredients.Serious Entertaining: A Cocktail Party for Carnival
Because one day of partying isn't enough, Rio Carnival 2011 will stretch from Saturday, March 5 to (Fat) Tuesday, March 8. The highlights of Brazilian carnival are parades with elaborate costumes and even more elaborate floats, all heralded by live music and dancing. Because revelers are so busy having fun, they'll often eat from street vendors throughout the day rather than sit down to one long meal. If, like me, you can't make it to Rio this year, you can still recreate the food and fun with this Carnival Cocktail Party.Hot Topics: Technique of the Week | The Food Lab
