At once saucy, crunchy, juicy and chewy, potstickers are a cross-cultural appetizer that are worth the effort to make from scratch. Well, maybe not the wrappers. But even if you can't find those in your local grocer, we've got you covered with a non-traditional but low-impact method for making the dough from scratch as well!
Fun Fact: Shrimp Scampi is an amalgamation of many different traditional Italian preparations of scampi (otherwise known as langoustines, Dublin Bay prawns, or Norway Lobsters). Therefore, there isn’t one correct way in which to make it. Try swapping out the pasta in our recipes for rice, or even just a loaf of crusty bread.

This week, renowned pastry chef and Cronut®-inventor Dominique Ansel joins me in the kitchen to show me how to make a custardy classic: crème caramel, also known as flan.

This week on Basics, I'm sharing 10 kitchen tips I wish I had known when I first got started cooking. Joining for this episode is Sienna Mae Gomez!
Today we're making all different kinds of cookies using one "master" dough - slight tweaks yield triple chocolate, macadamia nut/coconut/cranberry/white chocolate, coffee-toffee, and pretzel/m&m/butterscotch/kettle corn/butterfinger madness cookies!

For just a moment, forget about suggested nutritional intake and indulge your inner child this National Ice Cream Day (or any day for that matter) with this decadent ice cream cake!

Dry-aged ribeye + beefy brisket + luscious caramelized onions + ooey gooey muenster cheese + homemade brioche buns = probably the best thing you’ll ever taste. Feel free to correct us, but we’re pretty sure that math checks out.

This week on Basics we're making the beloved smash burger and a riff on the mint mojito.
This week, Ethan Chlebowski joins us to tackle a question for the ages: just how do you make a guilt-free pizza that also, you know, tastes like pizza? The answer lies in a Roman specialty known as "Pinsa": a light, airy, chewy flatbread with fewer calories, more fiber, and more protein than its Neapolitan counterpart. Is it diet food? No. Does it look/taste/feel/smell/sound exactly like the real deal, all while delivering more of the nutrients your body so dearly needs? Yes!
This week we're taking a look inside the mind of the Swede - specifically, their delicious and addictive brand of meatballs - and their frankly not-as-delicious (in my opinion) brand of mulled wine, glögg. Just my opinion.
