...truth is that it's just too easy to make good pizza to not even try. You don't need a special wood or coal oven; you don't need buffalo mozzarella; you don't even need fresh produce. You need flour and salt and good canned tomatoes, and Grande mozzarella from Wisconsin. Put those four things together, and you have the makings of a pizza that will please anyone. Domino's still doesn't get that - their new pie is a Franken-pizza of different cheeses, garlic-, salt- and butter-drenched crust and pepper-spiked sauce. But the fact...

The delicacy, according to Geoffrey Chaucer, made for an excellent means of seduction. "He sent her sweetened wine and well-spiced ale/ And waffles piping hot out of the fire...
...it’s about as good as a soup can get. To make a gumbo, you start with the roux, a classic French soup base which is used as one of the soup’s two main thickeners. It’s formed by nothing other than flour and butter, burnt together in a large stockpot until it bubbles golden and then rich dark brown, its flavor maturing into a sweet, nutty richness neither of the ingredients alone suggests. Nearly all gumbos have tomatoes, chicken, rice, sausage, and red pepper flakes, and are thickened by okra. Okra...
