This cocktail is fetch! If you’ve ever been personally victimized by a “Regina George,” this cocktail is for you. It looks sweet, but once you taste it you’ll fall victim to its tang.

Mark Chutko’s TABLE Favorites

0
Two bowls filled with a dark reddish brown broth with spicy sausage and greens as butter sits to the left and two spoons sit in the top right.

TABLE Magazine Associate Publisher, Mark Chutko loves winter fare. He leans in to recipes that are warm and delectable when the weather outside is frigid and cold. Soups and chilis are staples of the wintertime hours he and his wife, Diana, spend in the kitchen. They enjoy the simplicity of these hearty, good-for you-dishes, and cooking them at home just makes them taste even better. He loves getting his three kids involved in the kitchen, especially when they’re all chopping and chatting all the way to a hearty winter stew. Here are some of Mark’s late winter essential recipes that make great use of winter produce and many locally grown ingredients. 

Escarole and Beans

Warm and savory with a bit of spice, our Escarole and Beans takes basic ingredients and makes them into a fabulous bowl of flavor. It’s made with marinara sauce, escarole, Great Northern beans, chicken stock, and just the right amount of seasoning. Not to mention, the versatility of this dish allows you to serve it as a side or as a meal with some cooked shrimp over top. 

Pasta Fagioli 

A black bowl filled with fresh Pasta Fagioli noodles and vegetables by Victoria Sande.

Pasta Fagioli mixes navy beans with your choice of pasta and a homemade sauce. It’s a fool proof weeknight dinner. After cooking, pair it with your favorite wine and you’ve got a romantic dinner for two when the kids are away.

The Best Wendy’s Copycat Chili Recipe

An overhead view of The best Wendy's Copycat chili in a bowl with grated cheddar cheese and a dollop of sour cream in a white bowl, with small bowls of sour cream, grated cheddar, and pepper, a couple saltine crackers, parsley sprigs and a gold spoon on a wooden surface.

Winter and chili go together like peanut butter and jelly. A hot bowl of spicy tomato broth with beans and ground beef is the perfect thing to keep you cozy. This recipe takes inspiration from Wendy’s Chili and brings the famous dish right to your kitchen. No more long nights waiting in the drive-through line! 

French Onion Soup

A large bowl of french onion soup.

Caramelizing onions for a French Onion Soup may sound tricky, but it is entirely possible! Yes, it takes some patience. With a little bit of time, and delicious ingredients like fresh Gruyère cheese, you’ll be happy you took the time to make this bowl of excellence. 

Spicy Sausage and Greens Soup

Don’t let the short ingredient list of our Spicy Sausage and Greens Soup fool you. The taste of this soup packs a punch with the natural flavoring of the hot sausage and escarole. The taste experience expands when you add tomato sauce and mushroom broth. It’s so easy to be won over by this mouthwatering combination.

Quinoa Nourish Bowl

A Quinoa Bowl filled with egg, avocado, kale, and more on a green plate beside a drink, chili oil, and a spoon and knife.

The whole-grain source of quinoa leaves it with a high fiber content, making it the perfect base for a nourishment bowl. It helps lower cholesterol, steady blood pressure, and even promotes a healthy digestive system. Contributor Anna Franklin magnifies these wellness elements with the addition of lacinato kale, greek yogurt, and avocado in her Quinoa Nourish Bowl. All these yummy ingredients come together mixed with savory red onion, protein-filled egg, and a bit of chili oil for maximum flavor and bodily happiness.

Nespresso Affogato

0
Two glasses of Nespresso Affogato with pizzelle garnishes in front of a Nespresso machine with a shot of espresso brewed beneath it.

Forget elaborate pastries and complicated cake techniques at your next cocktail hour or party. Our Nespresso Affogato, Italy’s answer to the perfect dessert pick-me-up, is where simplicity meets pure indulgence. A shot of rich, hot espresso meets a scoop of your favorite ice cream, melting it slowly. Plus, it’s one of 2024-2025’s trending ingredients for the way it can transport you to Italy in one scoop. It’s a dish full of textures and flavors; hot and cold, bitter and sweet, each bite an explosion of contrasting sensations. This recipe is an adventure for your taste buds and shows the power that a few perfect ingredients can have. Plus, the best part is with a Nespresso machine by your side, crafting this culinary masterpiece takes mere minutes.

Using Nespresso

While you can use any type of espresso for an affogato, we find that Nespresso pods provide a delicious balance between bitter and roasted flavors. Their premium selections range to fit any type of coffee drinker, even if you’re not normally a fan of espresso. You can choose from lighter, more delicate blends to the richness of more heavily roasted varieties. Don’t forget to recycle the capsules after brewing.

Origins of the Affogato

The exact origins of the affogato remain a mystery. We know it hails from Italy, which makes sense: it’s the land of espresso and gelato. Pinpointing the exact “when,” however, is a bit of a challenge. It’s thought to have come about after the invention of the espresso machine in the 19th century. It did not become popular until the 1950s, coinciding with the modernization of Italy’s ice cream industry. Others propose a much earlier creation, with one legend even crediting a 17th century friar for its start according to Food & Wine.

It’s packed with antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals that bestow its anti-inflammatory properties. It’s a rich source of vitamin A, which plays a crucial role in maintaining healthy skin and mucous membranes. Additionally, butternut squash contains beta-carotene, a powerful antioxidant that helps protect cells from damage. The fiber in butternut squash can also help to reduce inflammation in the gut, promoting overall digestive health.
