Here are our Top 5 favorite foodie moments this week:
Babish Fried Rice

Babish’s Italian Fried Rice

Why didn’t WE think of this? @babishculinaryuniverse’s wok-fried rice with meatballs and basil pesto marries two of planet Earth’s greatest cuisines, and it feels like Christmas came early this year.

Caramelized Onion Garlic Bread

Introverts rejoice: Every bite of this beautiful Caramelized Onion Garlic Bread from @thenaughtyfork is a buttery, crunchy, gently sweet, and mildly spicy guarantee that everyone will give you and your very special breath some alone time.

Vodka Pasta Sauce

No-Vodka “Vodka” Pasta

We’re quickly becoming fanboys, fangirls, and fan-they/thems of food writer @reeniekarimfrom Next Level Chef, especially with the way she uses one of our favorite magic ingredients – pasta water. World Chef fans know it was essential in Stanley Tucci’s meal kit mega-hit Gnochetti Sardi, and it’s what makes Karim’s No-Vodka “Vodka” Pasta so velvety and slurpable. Gordon Ramsay loved it. Period.

The Farmer in the Shell

Food media is constantly puzzled over how to get hard boiled eggs to peel smoothly. Every home cook, trained chef, and brainy food scientist has an opinion on this, but we (and 5 million other TikTokers) thought, Let’s ask the farmer.@aymlessleigh84’s ‘Tok is a bit of a “wait for it,” but she’s got one of the dopest little tricks we’ve seen. We tested it ourselves, and it worked. 😳

Trust Frond Baby Cover

Trust Fond, Baby

Those brown bits in your pan? That’s fond. We are fond of fond. Fond is flavor. World Chef @themonticarlo’s deglazing demo teaches one of the most elemental yet elevating cooking techniques around. Check it out, and trust fond, baby.
