Panini are little sandwiches that are put through a press that
warms up the filling and gives the bread a delicious grilled
flavor. Ten years ago, you would have had to get on a plane and
gone to Italy to enjoy one, but today you can find panini
everywhere--in Italian restaurants, restaurant chains like Panera,
even higher-end supermarkets are selling panini in their take-out
foods sections. Because its popularity, the panini press (think a
small George Foreman Grill) has become the hottest selling small
appliance on the market. Everyone is selling them. Williams-Sonoma
and Sur La Table carry brands like LeCreuset, All-Clad, and Krups,
while Target sells a Hamilton Beach model for less than $50 and
Wal-Mart a Breadman version for $39.95.
From a wok to a clay pot, every cuisine has a ubiquitous pot or pan that can cook just about anything. In the United States, the most common pan is a simple 12-inch skillet. Here you'll find 125 recipes that will transform and expand the way you use this versatile piece of cookware. To liberate the skillet from commonplace fare, we share what we've learned from our travels and from cooks in more than 35 countries. We drew inspiration from the East African islands of Mauritius and Reunion for Shrimp Rougaille, based on a Creole tomato sauce that reflects European and Indian influences. And in India, a wok-like vessel called a kadai or karahi is common. We use a skillet instead to make Chicken Curry with Tomatoes and Bell Peppers. The skillet also is a good choice for the stir-fried Sichuan classic Spicy Glass Noodles with Ground Pork, fragrant Vietnamese-Style Lemon Grass Tofu, and Mexican-Style Cauliflower Rice. You can even use it to make Three-Cheese Pasta, Skillet-Roasted Peruvian-style Chicken, and Pizza with Fennel Salami and Red Onion. To make it easy to find the recipe you need, we organized chapters by cooking times (an hour or less, 45 minutes, and under 30 minutes) as well as sections for side dishes, pastas, grains, stir-fries, pan roasts, and skillet-griddled sandwiches. And because the cooking is limited to one pan, the techniques are straightforward and the clean-up is easy. Great cooking is rarely about which pan you put on your stove. It's about what you put inside it. Push those limits, and find a new world in your kitchen.

2018 James Beard Foundation Book Award Finalist, "Single Subject" Category "Top Ten Cookbook of 2017"-Booklist Stocks and broths are the foundation of good cooking, yet information on their use is often relegated to the introductions or appendices of cookbooks. Until now there has not been a comprehensive culinary guide to stocks in the canon, save for snippets here and there. Hard to believe, since most passionate home cooks and professional chefs know that using stocks and broths-both on their own and as the base for a recipe-can turn a moderately flavorful dish into a masterpiece. Mastering Stocks and Broths is the comprehensive guide to culinary stocks and broths that passionate home cooks and innovative chefs have all been waiting for. Rachael Mamane, a self-taught cook and owner of small-scale broth company Brooklyn Bouillon, is reminiscent of M. F. K. Fisher, Patience Gray, and Julia Child. She takes us on a culinary journey into the science behind fundamental stocks and the truth about well-crafted bone broths, and offers over 100 complex and unique recipes incorporating stocks as foundational ingredients. Mastering Stocks and Broths includes a historical culinary narrative about stocks in the classic French technique as well as through the lens of other cultures around the world. Readers will learn about the importance of quality sourcing, the practical and health benefits of stocks and broths, and detailed methodology on how to develop, store, and use them in a home kitchen. The recipes place a playful emphasis on the value of zero waste, turning spent bones, produce seconds, and leftover animal fats into practical products to use around the home. Readers will turn to this book when they find themselves wondering what to do with the carcass of a store-bought roast chicken and they want to learn how to make every inch of their vegetables go further. Perhaps most important to remember: a good stock takes time. This is part of the pleasure-making stocks is meditative and meaningful, if you allow yourself the occasion. Building a stock often happens in the background of most kitchens-a smell that permeates a residence, a gentle warmth that radiates from the kitchen. Readers will be inspired by Mamane's approach to truly slow cookery and her effervescent love for food itself.
