Cold Chicken, Carrot Salad and Yogurt Sauce
There are certain dinners we make for ourselves that maybe shouldn’t be shared in public. It’s one thing to share a recipe for a roast chicken, for example; everyone gets that, everyone wants that. But the next day, when that chicken’s cold and wrapped in aluminum foil in your refrigerator and you have a few…

How To Make Fried Chicken
The undisputed master of fried chicken here in New York City is Chef Charles Gabriel of Rack n’ Soul and now Charles’ Country Pan Fried Chicken (there’s a big article about it in today’s New York Times.) Chef Gabriel is such a master, it was an absolute privilege this summer to stand at his side…

There are two extremes when it comes to recipes. There are the soul-wrenching deeply-intricate 40-step recipes and then there are the Rachel Ray Sandra Lee Every Day Food 20-second recipes that appeal to working moms or non-working moms with slow reflexes.

Swinging Some Serious Fowl: Roast Chicken with Pan Gravy
First let me lure you in with chicken: And then bore you with family drama… My family was Jew-guilting me a great deal this week. “Happy Yom Kippur!” my grandma sang into the phone yesterday. “It’s not a happy holiday, grandma!” I retorted. “Then a very sad Yom Kippur. What are you doing for the…
