    • Dinner Tonight: Moroccan Lamb + Celery Root Puree

      You would be hard pressed to find a more wintry meal than this. It celebrates our desire for hearty suppers with a warmly seasoned lamb stew, brightened by the sunny pleasures of citrus. An apple and celeriac puree lends the meal a rare and magical combination of rib-sticking-ness and physician-approved lightness. It's an exotic take on meat and potatoes that we're convinced will please every last person at the table, and perhaps the cook most of all because -- as always -- it comes together in under an hour.

    • Genius No-Knead Pizza Dough

      Every week on Food52.com, we're digging up Genius Recipes -- the ones that make us rethink cooking myths, get us talking, and change the way we cook.

      The no-knead bread revolution finally comes to pizza -- and it's even more revolutionary.

      Jim Lahey's No-Knead Pizza Dough

      - Kristen Miglore, Senior Editor, Food52.com

      The Internet got its first viral recipe in 2006, when Mark Bittman brought Jim Lahey's technique for No-Knead Bread to light in the New York Times. Not-kneading tore through the blogosphere, seeding something of a revolution.

      The instant and lasting popularity of the no-knead method is not because kneading is so strenuous (it'll never cramp your biceps like whipping egg whites will), but because it requires an understanding. You must form a relationship with your dough, find your rhythm, and sense when it's feeling too dry, or leathery, or loose (and how to fix it). These are worthy and satisfying pursuits, but they give cooks enough pause that bread baking was once reserved for

    • 8 Warm Salads

      We get it. January's the start of a new year: a fresh start, a healthy start, a cleansing-through-leafy-greens start. Everyone's telling you to dive into bowls of kale, to crunch into piles of raw veggies, to whip up frigid smoothies -- but all you really want is something warm. Something comforting. Something that won't leave you colder (and hungrier) than you were at the start.

      That's why we're turning to warm salads this January: salads that are comforting, filling, and (bonus!) can be stretched throughout the week. Some are vegetable based, some are grain based -- and all reflect what we're craving this winter.

    • 7 Weekday Breakfast Recipes

      Breakfast may be the most important meal of the day, but we seldom treat it as such. We fall into ruts with toast or cereal; or we skip it altogether, opting instead to snooze for 10 more minutes. If you give it a chance, though, breakfast can brighten your morning and get your day started on a delicious (and healthful!) note. We've rounded up 7 flavorful, totally-not-boring breakfast recipes good enough to get you leaping out of bed in the morning, brought to you by the spirited home cooks' community at Food52.

    • De-Cluttering Your Kitchen

      Inspired by conversations on the Food52 Hotline, we're sharing tips and tricks that make navigating all of our kitchens easier and more fun. For Resolution Week, we already covered organizing your pantry and deep-cleaning your kitchen. Today, we're helping you rid your kitchen of unnecessary tools.


      January is time for a fresh start. It's a time for new resolutions, healthy habits, and clearing out your clutter. Don't save spring cleaning until the spring: start your year off right by clearing your kitchen of all the unnecessary tools and appliances that you never use.

      Seven different melon ballers? That's probably too many. And when will you use that bread machine that's been collecting dust for years? Probably never. One cook's trash is another cook's treasure, and many tools that are useless to one person are essential to another -- just look at the spirited discussion on this topic on the Food52 Hotline. However, in an effort to help you organize and simplify, we've

    • 7 Ways to Make Cabbage Sexy

    • Dinner Tonight: Turkey Schnitzel + Champagne Cocktail

      Post-holiday doldrums can be killer. You're trying to be so good, but salad for dinner just doesn't cut the mustard in the middle of winter, and you can only have lentil soup so many nights in a row before you're having legume-filled nightmares. Fight those blues with some celebratory fare fit for a midweek slump. Who says sparkling wine must be saved for a New Year's toast? Isn't putting in a full day's work reason enough to pop at least a little prosecco? We say yes, and so does our Booze52 columnist, Erika Kotite, whose Champagne Cocktail is as fizzily festive as it is easy to make. Paired with a crispy turkey dinner -- schnitzel in this case -- it makes for fabulous weeknight vittles. Cheers to another weeknight supper! Because, why not?

      The Menu

      Turkey Schnitzel with Leeks and Butter Sage Sauce by ccincalif

      Serves 4

      For the Turkey Schnitzel:

      1 pound turkey cutlets
      Kosher salt
      1/2 cup flour
      1 egg, beaten
      1 cup homemade breadcrumbs

    • Take a Vacation in Your Kitchen

      When January hits, things can get dreary. Skies are grey, mornings are dark, and the chill keeps you bundled up indoors, dreaming of warmer climes and maybe a tropical drink (or two).

      While we can't control the weather, we are here to help you create your own little tropical paradise at home. Bright flavors evoke memories of sandy beaches, steel drum bands, and skin tones that move past alabaster. A few paper-umbrella-worthy cocktails don't hurt, either. Go ahead: put the lime in the coconut. Drink it all up. Here are recipes that will take you on a vacation in the comfort of your own kitchen, brought to you by the spirited community of home cooks at Food52.

    • A Downton Abbey Premiere Menu

      Let's be honest here: what food-and-Downton Abbey-lover, while staring googly-eyed at the television, doesn't wish for a moment that they were Daisy?

      Sure, she's bullied by everyone on the staff, and sure, that whole marrying-William-for-a-hot-second thing was awkward. (We never understood her hesitation, anyway. William was adorable.) But we'd love nothing more than to learn about British cuisine under the expert-if-grumpy Mrs. Patmore -- and to make those pies, those roasts, and those grand luncheons and dinners with her skill, her gusto, her confidence.

      It's in honor of Daisy and Mrs. Patmore that we bring you a Downton Abbey-inspired menu for the third season's premiere on Sunday. To cook like Mrs. Patmore, and eat like the Granthams? Why, that sounds even more exciting than the premiere itself. (Well, almost.)
