The spices are merely a vessel for culture, community, storytelling, and politics. The recipes were so fresh, simple, and seasonal. That's not the version of South Asian food that most people know.

Rosa Parks' pancake recipe, featuring peanut butter, showcases a unique twist on traditional pancakes, emphasizing the importance of food in the Civil Rights Movement.

Food has been used as more than a form of sustenance. Food trade melds cultures and stimulates economies, religious traditions almost always involve some aspect of food, and, most importantly, food brings people together.

The word ketchup was first documented centuries ago, but it was advertised as more of an ingredient than a condiment, and the primary components were anything but tomatoes.

Joanna Page is on top form with first guests, wine lovers Gary Barlow and Olly Smith: I know nothing about wine; I'm from Swansea, I was brought up with White Lightning.

The cake utilizes a technique called reverse creaming to make the crumb exceptionally tender. Usually it's done with a stand mixer, but in this recipe, you use your hands-kind of like you would making pie crust.

I was just sort of desperate. Anything that I could possibly make, I wanted to make, and I turned to the kitchen. I tried to make this almond cake, and it doesn't go exactly as planned. It goes awry. And I think that's kind of rare in cookbooks to see, you know, the first instance of baking turn out to be, you know, this sort of humiliation, this massive failure.

Take what you've got and make it work for you.

I was always obsessed with something. The food writer began testing cooking methods after stumbling across commenters butting heads under an article proclaiming the "best way" to cook bacon. Spotting the controversy behind an innocuous topic, Ella launched a regular "absolute best test" column for Food52, and experiments went wild.

According to Ruth Painter Randall, author of "Mary Lincoln: Portrait of a Marriage," per Mr. Lincoln's White House, Mrs. Lincoln specifically asked the cook to prepare "fricasseed chicken and small biscuits with thick cream gravy poured all over it, all on one platter." The cook obliged, and it was such a hit with the president that he had three helpings.

Slen­der as it is, there's no short­age of meaty mate­r­i­al: Mod­ern chefs may find some of the first Amer­i­can cook­book's meth­ods and mea­sure­ments take some get­ting used to. We like to cook, but we're not sure we pos­sess the where­with­al to tack­le a Crook­neck or Win­ter Squash Pud­ding. We've nev­er been called upon to "per­fume" our "whipt cream" with "musk or amber gum tied in a rag." And we wouldn't know a whortle­ber­ry if it bit us in the whit­pot.

"We just always believed that barbecue was a part of our culture, going all the way back in history," Cedric explained. And Anthony put it even more personally: "When you go to a barbecue, no matter where you go, it's like a family reunion. You've got the spades, you've got the dominoes, you've got the good music, you've got the great food, you've got the great camaraderie, you have family around you, and that's what this business is for us."

First, I gathered core ingredients. If you can't find Butterkäse (it's not widely sold in the US outside of Aldi), you can opt for the easier-to-find harvarti, which has a similar creamy texture. I also used a regular orange sweet potato. STEP 1: While Courtney doesn't specify how to prep the potato, I covered the sweet potato in a liberal amount of olive oil and sprinkled it with salt before airfying for an hour.

With budget-conscious cooks turning to Depression-era recipes for inspiration and help stretching their grocery dollars further, vintage is what's for dinner tonight. One-pot meals are an excellent way to keep kitchen clutter and dirty dishes to a minimum while yielding a hearty batch of food sure to satisfy even the most picky palates. If you love poultry, cream sauce, and the comfort of a plate of noodles, look no further than the humble turkey tetrazzini.

Soup is often thought of as a light appetizer, or a dish that needs bulking out with carb-heavy sides to feel substantial enough, but this is far from the truth. When whipping up a batch of homemade soup, you don't have to limit yourself to the standard veggie, meat, and broth combo. If you want to turn your comforting creation into a complete meal, there are plenty of delicious ways to upgrade the brothy base into something altogether more hearty.
