Immune Boosting Bone Broth


  • Author: Anna Franklin

Description

A stew to boost your immune health when you need it the most.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 whole chickens
  • 4 carrots cut into large pieces
  • 4 celery stalks cut into large pieces
  • 2 onions cut into large pieces
  • 6 cloves garlic, whole
  • 1⁄4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tbsp. sea salt
  • 2 tbsp. whole peppercorns
  • 1015 pieces dried astragalus root
  • 2 whole bay leaves
  • 2 gallons water


Instructions

  1. Roast two whole chickens in the oven until golden brown. No need to worry about the inside being cooked, you just want the outside to brown for extra flavor.
  2. Add everything into a large stockpot and bring to a boil.
  3. Once the broth has come to a boil, allow to simmer for 12 -24 hours, skimming the top occasionally to remove the foam that forms at the top. (the longer you allow your broth to simmer, the more flavor and nutrients your broth will have.) Turn off the heat ad carefully strain your broth. (you may be tempted to save the meat from the chickens but at this point all the flavor and nutrients will be in the broth and no longer in the meat of the chicken.)
  4. Strain your broth and use it in soups, stews, chili, or sip it as is with some cracked black pepper on top!

0

Experience the ethereal allure of saffron panna cotta. The saffron-infused cream and its golden hues will help you savor the lusciousness of this Italian dessert. Indulge in a delicate dance of flavors and textures resulting in a subtle sweetness that lingers on your palate. The experience is elevated with a luscious sauce of butter, honey, and bourbon, gracefully drizzled over the delicate panna cotta like liquid gold. Prepare to be captivated by this culinary masterpiece, an ode to elegance and indulgence.

The History of Panna Cotta

Food historians debate exactly where panna cotta comes from. According to a legend, though it originated in Italy, it was actually a Hungarian lady who first baked it in northern Italy. Panna cotta means “cooked cream.” Because it has so many variations, the only real rule is that you have to have cream as the base. For flavors, you can use caramel, coffee, liqueurs, lavender, herbs, chocolate, rose petals, teas, fruits, and of course, saffron as we have in our saffron panna cotta!

Saffron Panna Cotta


  • Author: Veda Sankaran

Description

A spin on an Italian dessert.


Ingredients

Scale

For the Panna Cotta:

  • 1 tbsp unflavored gelatin
  • 1 ½ cups heavy cream
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1 ½ cups + 2 tsp half and half
  • 4 pinches of saffron threads

For the sauce:

  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 4 tbsp sugar
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 2 tsp honey
  • A few sprinkles of Vietnamese cinnamon (approx. 1/16th tsp)
  • 1 tbsp bourbon
  • Pinch of salt


Instructions

For the Panna Cotta:

  1. Sprinkle a tbsp of gelatin over the 2 tsp of half and half to bloom for 5 minutes.
  2. Pour the cream and half and half into a pot to warm with the sugar. Keep the heat low; you don’t want the cream to simmer or boil.
  3. Stir until sugar dissolves, and add the saffron threads and stir until the threads infuse the cream with flavor. Take off the heat and stir in the gelatin.
  4. Place back on low heat, stirring to dissolve the gelatin completely. Be careful not to overheat the cream, as it will ruin the thickening power of the gelatin.
  5. Take a little bit of the cream between your fingers to test if the gelatin is completely dissolved.
  6. Either use a non-stick spray or another way of greasing your ramekins or glass bowls. Pour the cream evenly into 4 ramekins/bowls, depending on size. Cover and refrigerate for 2-4 hours if serving in a ramekin or overnight if loosening and inverting onto a dessert plate.

For the sauce:

  1. Melt the butter in a small pan.
  2. Add the sugar and stir continuously on medium-low heat until the butter and sugar melt and emulsifies.
  3. Then slowly add the water, stirring as you do. Simmer for a minute, then continuously stir the honey, cinnamon, and salt. Finally, add the bourbon and simmer until the sauce begins to thicken.
  4. To serve, simply spoon the sauce over the panna cotta and enjoy!

Can the “Color of the Year” Be All Things to All People?

0
A photo of the Pantone color of the year swatch in the shade Peach Fuzz.

Each Fall and Winter, a number of influential individuals and brands announce what they foresee as the “color of the year” for the following year. What follows is typically a frenzy of sorts, with brands rushing to post their wares available in that hue—clothing, tableware, paint, interiors, and graphic design. “Look, everyone. We’re on trend!”

Predicting Peach

For 2024, a number of predictions were were peach-adjacent. Pantone, arguably the most well-known of the predictions, chose “Peach Fuzz”, which it says brings “a feeling of kindness and tenderness, communicating a message of caring and sharing, community and collaboration.”

A post from @ukariane.ua, “The official Instagram of Ukraine” which said Pantone’s 2024 color of the year reminded them of “sunrises and sunsets in the Ukrainian Carpathians when the sun plays with colours on the treetops and meadows”

The trend forecasting company WGSN similarly chose Apricot Crush, and HGTV Home by Sherwin Williams chose Persimmon—both shades somewhere between pink and orange. The British paint company Deluxe picked Sweet Embrace, a dustier, softer pink, still in the neighborhood.

By contrast, several prominent brands chose shades in the blue and green family, including Valspar’s Renew Blue (a pale turquoise), Graham and Brown’s Viridis (a near-celadon), and Sherwin Williams’ Upward SW (a pale sky-blue).

At the launch event of Peach Fuzz in New York, speakers ascribed to it a great number of attributes to it: sophisticated, contemporary, understated, impactful, a reflection of the past, clean, and nurturing. Quite a tall order for a single color!

Staying Outside the Predictions

But not everyone rushes to embrace the newly-crowned colors. When Pantone introduced Very Peri in 2022, I interviewed the Paris-based trend forecaster Li Edelkoort for an article in the New York Times. She said the company was “pushing a shade of purplish blue down people’s throats with no relation to the way we are living and evolving. Humans want to be embraced by their environments in troubled times, which doesn’t allow for an invented, non-cool blue hue.”

Can any single shade represent the ethos of, well, everything? Across state lines and international borders? In ceramics, sneakers, and sofas alike? Must everything from the year before be chucked out and replaced each January? The internet suggests a Barbieverse approach: a monochromatic world in which clothing, cars, and (in the case of the movie) even mountains appear in a matching hue.

So, one hopes, the Color of the Year is not a recommendation that everything be produced in it, only to be replaced twelve months later. I think it’s more a chance to be remind you of a color that might have fallen out of fashion, or one that hasn’t gotten much attention in the past. Use it as background thought to lead you somewhere else. It’s interesting that these colors have not been rewarded for achievement or past performance—like Best Picture or Album of the Year—but rather for their perceived potential. Used judiciously, I think that’s worthy of consideration.

Must-See Design Shops in Paris

You never know what you’ll find at design shops in Paris… This week is Maison et Objet, the twice-annual design exhibition, as well as Paris Déco Off, which takes place in shops and showrooms around the city. In between walking the aisles of the show and arrondissement hopping, it’s a great time to visit the city’s many outstanding design stores. Plus, it’s also sale season! Here are three of my favorites right now (plus a couple of perennial favorites).

Merci

111, bd Beaumarchais, 75003

Look for the iconic red Fiat inside a slightly hidden courtyard. After browsing the extensive fashions (men, women, children) on the main and basement floors, head upstairs for a huge selection of reasonably priced housewares—including bath and bed linens. They carry a large amount of Serax tableware as well as unique pieces Paola Navone-designed plates with adorable French themes.

Empreintes

Spread out in a more than 6,000 square foot, natural-light-bathed space on three floors, Empreintes is dedicated to unique pieces from France-based makers. There’s jewelry, accessories, some furniture, lighting, stationery, and many pieces of handmade and hand-painted ceramics. (It’s a great place to find a perfect gift.) The artists vary, but the work is typically delightful and affordable.

Moustache

If you’re looking for something unusual and decidedly modern, head to the 10th and spend some time in Moustache. Its one of those “could be an art gallery” shops, but without the attitude. Pieces from the French design studio Big-Game—striking, saturated-color tubular chairs, benches, and stools—are a highlight. As are the deer-shaped, CNC-milled coffee tables.

These are the absolute Best Sloppy Joe Hand Pies. This version of the traditional Sloppy Joe, emphasis on sloppy, is much less of a mess. Store-bought sheets of pie crust dough are used to create a fun, well-contained, juicy, meaty treat. They can be a filling meal, but they’re also a perfect party food. Use any ground meat of your choice to make these simple and versatile hand pies.

Best Sloppy Joe Hand Pies Recipe

Fresh green peppers, some whole and some chopped, carrots chopped in little triangles, and whole red red onions on cutting boards and small plates on a grey background with part of a large chef knife showing in the upper left corner.

Gather all of your ingredients from the recipe below and start your prep with the fresh veggies.

Minced red onion, green pepper and carrots on a slate surface and in a bowl with a cast iron skillet with raw ground beef.

Step 1:

Chop the 3/4 cup red onion, 1/2 cup green pepper, 1/4 cup habanero, and 1/4 cup carrots in preparation for sautéing with the ground beef.

Four small bowls, 1 with seasoning, 1 with relish, 1 with mustard, and one with ketchup on a blue/grey surface with a small wooden tray on the right with salt, pepper and paprika, and fresh whole red onions and habanero pepper s on the left.

A Zamboni, Snow-Cone Cocktail that's a vibrant blue ball of ice in a clear glass cup with a silver spoon sitting on pieces of white marble with large cubes of ice.

Zamboni, Snow Cone Cocktail? Yep! You heard that right! Have you ever felt that hockey fans are put in the penalty box when it comes to tailgating or game watch parties? Same! That’s why we wanted to create a fun, icy treat for our hockey-loving fans. While creating this cocktail, an homage to the snow cone, it was nearly impossible not to recall those brightly-colored cones from our childhood. Those sugary, syurpy sweet treats were a way to cool us down in the summer and treat our sweet tooth. In order to truly recreate the whimsical treats from our youth, it was a goal to include bright, vibrant color. Save your cheap shot on our liquor selection! We chose to modify the classic Blue Lagoon cocktail, invented by Andy MacElhone at the famous Harry’s New York Bar in Paris, to serve as our Zamboni Snow Cone Cocktail flavoring.

Pigs in a Blanket with 3 Party-Perfect Dips

Mini pigs in a blanket on a slate tray sitting on a greenish surface with 3 bowls of dips.

Is a party even a party without Pigs in a Blanket? We’re elevating the Pigs in a Blanket game with 3 Party-Perfect Dips. Dive into a trio of exceptional flavors with Harissa and Chili Mayo, Horseradish and Cream Cheese, and Jalapeño Mustard dips. You need little else on the table with these mini weenies. They’re wrapped in crescent dough and surrounded by dips exploding with flavor. Just be sure to double, triple, or quadruple the recipes according to your party size.

Can You Make Vegetarian Pigs in a Blanket?

To create a vegetarian option, you can substitute the hot dogs with a variety of vegetarian alternatives depending on the texture and taste you prefer. Plant-based meats are a good starting point since you can access vegetarian sausage pretty easily. But, if you want to focus only on fresh produce, jalapeño peppers, dates, confit potatoes, or mushrooms are other options that can help make pigs in a blanket vegetarian and even vegan-friendly. Just remember to adjust your dips accordingly (specifically the cream cheese one) in case one of your guests is vegan as well.

Braised Cabbage and Beans

A blue bowl holdsbraised cabbage and beans topped with a lemon slice and accompanied by a fork, spoon, and glass of lemon water.

In our Braised Cabbage and Beans recipe you get a hearty dose of both of these superfoods along with tasty vegetable stock, spicy peppers, and a bit of lemon juice for that tangy zing. It’s a dish that’s simple to prepare and warms the soul during the cold days of winter. The specific type of canned peppers we use are quite spicy. If you’d like something more mild, you can replace them with canned roasted red peppers.

Light up the stove and get a-cookin’, folks. You’ll be glad you did.
