Crisp Grilled Cheese Sandwich

Chef John at foodwishes did this one too, but cuts down on some of the prep and steps by melting the butter in the pan so you don't have to try and spread butter. I do like the idea of combining parmesan and chedder.

Vegan: Garbanzos con Espinacas y Jengibre (Spanish Chickpea and Spinach Stew with Ginger)

Great recipe Kenji! My husband and I loved the flavor of the ginger with the tomatoes. I added some kale to the stew, but besides that stuck to the recipe. I have a feeling that this is going to be rotated into my normal cooking repertoire!

Cornish Pasty

I made this recipe last night and found that there was a lot of filling leftover even after using two sheets of pie dough (bought a box of Pillsbury refrigerated dough). Maybe buying one box (2 sheets) of pie dough wasn't enough for this filling ratio, but I would suggest if you are going to use store bought dough, cut down on filling ingredients. Also I found out how important it is to have finely chopped ingredients, some of mine where not the most finely chopped and it really does make it difficult to close the pasties if they are too chunky.

Will, great article as always. I love your columns and can't wait to ready more of these!

@ J. Kenji Lopez-Alt - Got something to investigate for your next bloody mary version, have you ever tried adding a hit of kimchi juice to the mix? It adds a savory funkiness that I think works well.

Dinner Tonight: Crab and Avocado Sandwich

Just made this for dinner last night. Forgot to pick up a pepper, so added a bit of siracha as a substitute. This worked all right, but I think the pepper would have tasted a lot fresher. Also cheaped out on the crab and just got fancy crab instead of fancy lump crab, I would suggest you definitely spring for lump to get a more distinct crabby taste. Overall really like this recipe and I will probably make again.

Sriracha and SPAM Fried Rice

Just tried this recipe last night (with a halved recipe) and found that even using one whole tablespoon of sriracha to be too hot. I usually like my food right at medium, but I can usually can handle some hot stuff, but found that this was too hot for me. I did like the recipe and found it easy to cook, but just too hot. Next time I would probably only use 1 1/2 teaspoons for a halved recipe.

African Chicken in Peanut Sauce

This is a wonderful dish, I have made it 3 times and it has turned out great each time. It is a time consuming recipe but one that my fiancée loves. I usually only make this on special occasions because it does take so long, so make sure to leave 2 hours for prep time and cooking!
