    • Dinner in 25 Minutes: Mumbai Sandwiches

      This recipe calls for a panini press; you can also cook the sandwiches in a skillet or grill pan (a la grilled cheese).

    • There's a Nation of Eaters Who Love Snap, Crackle and Pop

      Must. Have. Crunch. No matter which meal, whether the food's savory or sweet. It's a reasonable demand of mine, given the many foods that offer such texture naturally, and the many techniques the food industry uses to introduce it.

    • Dinner in 25 Minutes: Skinny Carbonara With Peas, Almonds and Basil

      Jamie Oliver gives a really healthy spin to the quintessential carbonara. He throws out the usual bacon, cheese and raw egg, and instead, uses peas, almonds, lemon, basil, garlic and yogurt.

    • The Indispensable Pastry Chef

      It is late on a summer evening, and four friends have eaten themselves into a comfortable stupor at Osteria Morini, the northern Italian restaurant in Washington's Navy Yard neighborhood. Still, a last course beckons, so they nod that one dessert should come to the table ...
