Hungry Nation Has A New Menu!
Happy Culinarians Day, Hungry Nation!
Did you know July 25th is national Culinarian Day? Well, thanks to the holiday powers that be – we’re looking at you, Hallmark – it is, and what better way to celebrate than by announcing the relaunch of Hungry Nation on August 1st?
Culinarian is really just a dressed up word for “chef” or “cook,” and the holiday is all about getting your cook on. Whether this...

Hanukkah Latkes (Potato Pancakes)
Latkes are more of a phenomenon than a dish for me: once a year, I gorge on latkes, going way past the uncomfortably full stage, and then abstain completely for the other 364 days. I associate more happy memories with latkes than probably any other food in the world and they’d be the centerpiece of my last meal on earth, but it’s a one-night-a-year treat. It’s not that having a...

Viewer Submission: Cranberry Pudding!
I know Thanksgiving is now practically ancient history, but I wanted to share with all of you a really unique holiday recipe sent in by Jenn:
For the following recipe the only thing I really had to buy was molasses and cranberries, that’s why I thought it might be good for your show.
My grandmother used to make cranberry pudding every Thanksgiving and Christmas. It was always my...

Thanksgiving Leftovers: NotEatingOutInNY.com...
Rebecca’s Thoughts
A sad irony of Thanksgiving is that I often get so caught up in the cooking that I barricade myself into solitary confinement in the kitchen and miss out on all the friends and family, the celebration of community that Thanksgiving is supposed to be about.
So teaming up to tackle Thanksgiving leftovers with Cathy Erway was a double pleasure: I’ve long enjoyed...

Viewer Submission: Beeramisu
After seeing our Thanksgiving dessert episode where we made a no-bake beeramisu, Netaly wrote into us with a fantastic gluten-free version of beeramisu/tiramisu:
Since I’m Gluten intolerant, I used the traditional coffee and brandy, and used really good Italian gluten-free cookies instead of lady fingers. I followed your exact recipe with the rest… It came out great! i was so happy....

Halloween Candy & Jelly Bean Costumes
Rebecca as a Jelly Belly; a young & beardless Max
Growing up, our dad owned a few candy stores on the Gulf Coast of Florida. We always had the best candy to give out at Halloween, in exchange for which Rebecca spent one day a year waddling around the Brandon TownCenter Mall in an inflatable JellyBelly jelly bean suit. Why? Because dads are all about embarrassing their daughters. Also...

Thanksgiving Pt 1
Rebecca’s Thoughts
Thanksgiving is about tradition. That’s what excites us: remembering the holidays past, the excess, the gluttony, the uncles passed out in front of the football game with their belts hanging limply across their laps. We think of glossy brown turkeys and pillowy stuffing, but how much of those memories are real and how much are they products of time and...

Bo Ssam: A Love Letter by Max
I don’t know if I believe in love at first sight, but the first time I saw the bo ssam, I fell in love. Salt-and-sugar cured pork butt roasted until unbearably tender, covered with a layer of salty, crackling skin? Smother it in spicy, vibrant sauces and let the juices run down your chin? Oh, baby. I still remember the first time I broke off a piece of crisp pork skin, a few meaty morsels...
