Spaghetti Squash Carbonara – Illusion Pasta

I think this beautiful spaghetti squash carbonara is probably the most delicious way to eat spaghetti squash.

Zucchini Roll Lasagna on Turkey Bolognese – No Pasta, No Problem

They say a lasagna without pasta is like a dance without music.

Charred Red Cabbage and Carrot Salad – The Moment is Now

When I heard recently that charred red cabbage was “having a moment,” as my friend phrased it, I thought he was kidding. Charred cabbage is having a moment? Why?

Beans and Greens Tartine – Prepare to Open Face

Why call something an “open-face sandwich” when you can call it a “tartine?” The joke answer is because you want them to know what it is, which besides being funny is a fair point.

Baked Cowboy Dip – The Dip Formerly Known as “Cowboy Cr@#k”

This delicious, and highly addictive Cowboy Dip used to be called “Cowboy Cr@#k Dip,” which is what I called it, many, many times in the original voiceover for this video.

Russian Tomato Salad Bruschetta – Two-Thirds of Me on a Plate

That Zucchini Spaghetti Stanley Tucci Loves (Spaghetti alla Nerano) – As Good as Advertised

SI get a fair number of video ideas watching food travel television shows, and during these productions, it’s not uncommon for the host to heap praise on the local offerings, but Stanley Tucci, in his new show, “Searching for Italy,” took this to another level, calling the dish, “life changing,” “unbelievable,” and “one of the best things I’ve ever eaten.” I love a... to read the rest of Chef John's article about Zucchini Spaghetti, please follow this link to become a member.)

Quick Chicken Couscous – One of the Other Fast Foods

When I was much younger, and not quite as wise, I lived on a steady diet of fast food. I’m talking at least one meal a day, and often more.

Loaded Butternut Squash "Cordon Bleu" – Developed After Countless Minutes of Research

I really wanted to do something different with butternut squash. As in, not just roasting it, or turning it into a soup, which tend to be the two most common applications, so I eventually decided on a “loaded” twice-baked butternut squash.

Roasted Roman-Style Romanesco – The World’s Most Delicious Fractal

Romanesco looks like something brought to earth by aliens, which is fitting, since the taste is out of this world. And, because of this UFO’s (unidentified flavorful object’s) bizarre appearance, many shoppers are hesitant to add it to their cart, which hopefully won’t be the case after watching just how easy it is to prepare this mysterious vegetable.

Stuffed Pasta Wheels – Let the Good Times Roll

Bloody Mary Burrata – An Experiment in Liquefying Salads

I don’t think there’s actually a difference between a liquid salad, and a cold vegetable soup, but if there is, I’d like this Bloody Mary Burrata recipe to be considered the former. Especially since I already posted a gazpacho this summer. But regardless of what you call this strange hybrid, it really was delicious, fun to eat, and very refreshing.

I was recently gifted some homemade Bloody Mary mix by a couple of new friends, Clayton and Linda-Marie, which unfortunately I haven’t been able to enjoy yet. However, the combination of seeing that on the counter, along with a tub of burrata cheese in the fridge, led to this rather odd attempt. While the Bloody Mary part of the equation completely dominated the tomato and mozzarella salad element, I still found this thoroughly enjoyable to eat, which at the end of the day, is all that matters.

I’m not exactly sure how best to serve this, but a small portion as a starter would seem to make the most sense. Or, maybe a larger serving, paired with a crusty hunk of bread as a brunch item. Vodka sold separately. So, whether you’re going to take this idea and run with it, or you’re just going to do the first part, and make some real Bloody Marys, I hope you give this a try soon. Enjoy!


Ingredients for 4 portions of Blood Mary Burrata:
2 pounds fresh vine-ripened tomatoes
1/3 cup sliced celery
1/4 cup sliced hot or mild red peppers
1/2 clove garlic
1/2 cup water
juice of one lemon
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce, or to taste
2 teaspoon hot sauce, or to taste
2 tablespoons hot prepared horseradish, or to taste
2 teaspoon black pepper, or to taste
1 teaspoon kosher salt, or to taste

For Service:
1 cup Blood Mary Burrata base
2 ounces burrata cheese, or fresh mozzarella
sliced olives, celery, and cherry tomatoes to garnish
freshly grated horseradish root for the top
freshly ground black pepper and olive oil to finish, optional

Cherry Tomato & Cheese Galette – Perfect for First Time Growers

When people grow cherry tomatoes for the first time, they often make the mistake of planting more than one or two bushes, which a few short months later usually means a ridiculously large harvest, as in more cherry tomatoes than you can possibly use. Well, this cherry tomato and cheese galette might help, a little.

While “galette” sounds a little fancy, they’re actually one of the easier type of pies to make, and above and beyond the simple technique, they are incredibly adaptable to whatever is in season. Whether that’s sweet fruit, or savory vegetables, there are very few things you can’t galette.

Just be sure to bake them long enough, since the bottom needs to brown, as well as you want whatever filling you’re using to dry out a bit. Your oven time will vary depending on the exact size and shape of your galette, so once you take it out, peak underneath to make sure it’s browned. Basically, you should bake this as long as you possibly can, without it burning, so be brave.

This will also work with larger, sliced tomatoes, but just be careful you let them drain on some towels first. Other than that, there’s not much else to worry about, except what to do with those other 5 pints of cherry tomatoes. Even if you have to go to the store to buy yours, I think this is well worth the trip, and I really do hope you give this cherry tomato galette a try soon. Enjoy!


Ingredients for one 12-inch pizza pan sized galette:
For the dough:
1 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons corn meal
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, cubed, frozen
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
1/4 cup ice water
For the filling:
8 ounces soft goat cheese or other fresh cheese
1 egg yolk
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
pinch of cayenne
2 tablespoons sliced basil
For the rest:
3 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon Dijon
sea salt to sprinkle over the top once cooled, optional

- Bake at 425 F. for 30-35 minutes or until well browned. To be safe, place a foil-lined pan on rack under galette to catch any possible drips.
