Zucchini Gnocchi

There are no potatoes in this homemade Zucchini Gnocchi. It’s mostly zucchini with a little flour and cheese, pan-fried with marinara sauce. Delish! Zucchini Gnocchi You may be familiar with my cauliflower gnocchi, which inspired this new version. Since zucchini is in season, I played around with this recipe and loved how it turned out. from Skinnytaste https://ift.tt/UaH0w1W via IFTTT

I Think About ‘Billboard Dad’ Every Time I Make Scrambled Eggs

Image
Scramble scramble. | Screenshot via YouTube If the whisk is missing and a fork “bruises” the eggs, is the answer shaking a resealable bag? The movies I watched as a kid seared some valuable nuggets of information into my brain. Every time I eat a banana, I think of Honey, I Shrunk the Kids and remember that bananas have potassium. I know that Gremlins , if they were real, should never be fed after midnight. While I likely won’t ever get a perm, thanks to Legally Blonde I remember that if I ever change my mind, I won’t be able to wash my hair immediately. And every time I lift a whisk to make scrambled eggs, I think of the Olsen twins and how they offered a better option. Billboard Dad , the Olsen twins’ direct-to-video 1998 movie, opens with Emily Tyler, played by Ashley Olsen, rollerblading home from Venice Beach with her surfboard in hand. She’s greeted by her sister, Tess, played by Mary-Kate, who is cracking an egg and asks if she’s seen the whisk. “We lost the whisk?” Emil

The Best Pasta Salad Recipes, According to Eater Staff 

Image
Bettina Makalintal/Eater Follow these Eater-approved, summer-friendly recipes to the letter, or consider them your starting points for experimentation There’s no time of year that we’d really ever turn down pasta salad. But we certainly lean on it the most in the summer, when we need travel-friendly dishes to bring to picnics or refreshingly cold food to eat from the fridge. When asked about their favorite pasta salad recipes, several Eater staffers replied that they don’t tend to use one. This is another upside of pasta salad, of course: It’s an easy catch-all for staple ingredients like pickles and other briny things, cheese, charcuterie, and whatever fresh herbs or crunchy vegetables are on hand. To go no-recipe with pasta salad, it’s all about creating a balance of salty, sour, fresh, and cured elements, while remembering to season more aggressively since the cold fridge mutes flavors. That being said, we have a few favorite pasta salad recipes that we return to all season. F

How I Got My Job: Editing — And Now, Owning — Legendary Food Publication Saveur

Photo by Thom Payne Kat Craddock’s journey through restaurant jobs and food media took an unexpected turn when she purchased the magazine she worked for earlier this year In How I Got My Job , folks from across the food and restaurant industry answer Eater’s questions about, well, how they got their job. Today’s installment: Kat Craddock. On April 10, 2023, Kat Craddock announced that she had purchased Saveur , the celebrated food publication she’d been reading since its inception in 1994 and working at for over seven years. By this point, she’d seen the brand go through innumerable changes, both internally and within the media landscape, and she thought that acquiring it herself was its best chance at long-term success — and she loved it too much to watch it fail. “I started to see that putting this publication back into the hands of the editors might be the only way to make it last,” Craddock explains. “It’s a unique publication that never fit tidily into the business models

The Casa Bonita Reopening Is Real but It Might as Well Be a Joke

Image
Casa Bonita. | Hyoung Chang/Getty The “South Park” creators have dumped $40 million into the beloved Colorado restaurant, which is now selectively open, but to what end is still unclear You wanna come on down to where, exactly? If the answer is “unincorporated Park County, Colorado,” an hour or two outside of Denver, great news: Two guys from around there have been making a TV show about it for 26 years and counting. Relatedly: Casa Bonita is back , sort of. For now, it’s in a limited soft-open period that offers tickets (not reservations) through an email list, via the website . People, especially Denverites and media outlets, seem to be very excited about it, despite (or perhaps because of) every aspect of the ongoing saga of this restaurant’s reopening having been over-the-top and parodical, not unlike that show I just mentioned. For those just tuning in, Denver’s Casa Bonita is “ the Disneyland of Mexican restaurants ,” a childhood treasure adored for its entertainment nove

How NYC’s Michelin-Starred Casa Enrique Makes Ceviche

Image
Chef Cosme Aguilar uses locally sourced fresh fluke Casa Enrique has been serving New Yorkers some of the city’s best Mexican food since it opened in 2012. Chef Cosme Aguilar worked in French fine dining before applying those techniques to his mother’s recipes at the restaurant. And two years after it opened, the Michelin guide awarded it one star. “What I want is to be the best in the neighborhood and we went beyond that,” says Aguilar. One dish that helped them earn the distinction is the fluke ceviche. “We only have one ceviche, which is a fluke,” says Aguilar. “We cook it with lime and some spices and salt.” When filleting the fish, Aguilar uses a Japanese style of slicing, so the fish comes out in strips rather than chunks. Once the fish is cut up and marinated with chile serrano and lime, it is put into the fridge for two minutes. Before serving, it’s garnished with onion, avocado, radishes, and tomato. “From good to very good is a minute difference. Take your time,” says A

A Mandyara Beats a Blender Every Time

Image
A couple of mandyara churners. A hand-held mandyara (mathani), a wooden churner common in India, allows you to mash and blend your way to the perfect texture in every dish Raised as a third-culture kid with Sindhi heritage in Dubai, I didn’t properly begin cooking Indian food until my late 20s. My husband professed that his love for Indian food was at least as great, if not more than, his love for me. I wasn’t completely inept in the kitchen; my creamy, well-seasoned hummus was “seriously impressive” (his words), and I could make a perfectly crispy za’atar-spiced zucchini burger. But Indian food, with all its complex flavors and textures, had remained, for the most part, uncharted territory. History has put some distance between me and Sindhi cuisine. Sindhis are people with roots in the Sindh region of modern-day Pakistan, and my grandparents fled Pakistan to India during Partition in 1947. Then my parents resettled in Dubai in the ’70s, like droves of Indian immigrants to the UA

Want to Eat Like Barbie? Get Some Beets.

Image
Barbeet. | Shuttersock/Mattel, Inc. Pink food is everywhere because of Barbie — and because of the humble beetroot It’s important to remember that in Greta Gerwig’s Barbie , Barbie doesn’t eat. When in Barbieland, she holds cups of milk and pieces of toast up to her mouth but, being plastic, she cannot actually ingest anything. This changes when she gets to the real world and at one point has to figure out how to sip a cup of tea. But otherwise, food is not important to her life. Despite that, the internet is exploding with Barbie-themed recipes. Across TikTok and Instagram there are meals meant to evoke the Barbie lifestyle, which just means food that is not normally pink has been made so. And many of them rely on one ingredient to get their signature color. If you want to start eating like Barbie, it’s time to embrace beets. Multiple viral recipes for Barbie pasta employ beets , blended into a sauce with ingredients like sour cream, cheese, or greek yogurt . The pasta recip

Out of the Box and Into Cake, It’s Barbie! 

Image
Lille Allen/Eater Barbie cakes aren’t just for kids’ birthday parties anymore Barbie turned 30 the year I was born. That same year, my grandmother bought a dome cake pan for making Barbie cakes: typically, a Barbie doll enveloped to the waist in frosted layers of cake, carved into the shape of a voluminous skirt. In her words,“I had my first granddaughter and I envisioned making a lot of Barbie cakes.” Several more granddaughters followed and so did more Barbie cake baking accessories. I grew up watching my grandmother make Barbie cakes in her home-based bakery for customers across North Texas. Now, 20-something years later, Greta Gerwig’s hot pink feature film has promised us a summer of Barbie. Food brands are turning everything pink — from the obvious Pinkberry with its Barbie Land Berry Pink froyo to the more obscure Pastificio G. Di Martino Barbie Pennette Rigate — and the Barbie cake is primed for a comeback, as those who never had the iconic buttercream-frocked doll as ch
