Recipe: Le Père-Bis Cocktail

Jim Meehan's hot toddy: Le Père-Bis

 

In search of a unique hot toddy recipe, we turned to Jim Meehan, who can be found stirring and shaking cocktails at New York City’s PDT, winner of the JBF Award for Outstanding Bar Program in 2012. He shared with us his favorite version of this wintertime pick-me-up: Le Père-Bis. “A few years ago, Rob Cooper asked me to create a winter warmer with what was then was his new spirit, St-Germain,” Meehan told us. “I mixed it with one of Islay’s legendary peat monsters, Ardbeg 10 Year, and found that the elderflower balanced the Scotch gracefully.”

Recipe: Guava and Cream Cheese Turnovers

by JBF Editors on February 25, 2013

Jose Garces's recipe for Guava and Cream Cheese Turnovers

 

JBF Award winner Jose Garces's latest cookbook, The Latin Road Home, touches down in the numerous Spanish-speaking countries that have shaped his career. The menu at his upcoming Beard House event will reflect the book's theme, with each course rooted in the cuisine of a different nation. For dessert, Garces will serve these buttery, Cuban turnovers, or pasteles, made by enveloping guava paste and cream cheese in puff pastry. Using store-bought pastry, you can enjoy them at home, too.

Valentine's Day Recipe: Chocolate Budino with Candied Hazelnuts and Grapefruit

by JBF Editors on February 11, 2013

Recipe for Chocolate Budino with Candied Hazelnuts and Grapefruit, adpated by the James Beard Foundation

 

Not a fan of cramped tables and half-baked prix fixe menus on Valentine's Day? We don't blame you, especially if you're game to make this elegant Italian pudding from Bob Truitt, who oversees the dessert program at Marea and other restaurants in Michael White's Altamarea Group. The budino alone is wonderful, but accessorizing it with the Campari-scented grapefruit peel and toasted, sugar-slicked hazelnuts makes it worthy of a white tablecloth.

Beard to Table: James Peterson's Meat Loaf

James Peterson's recipe for meat loaf

 

In this new series, we'll be taking a closer look at some of our favorite recipes from JBF Award winners as well as from Beard himself. To start, we turned to a beloved cold-weather staple: meat loaf.

 

--

 

A well-made meat loaf is a dinnertime workhorse. It's comforting, it's savory, it can be dipped in ketchup: what's not to love? But if you haven't yet seen the meat loaf light (perhaps the memories of the too-dry, or too-moist, or too-chunky ones of your childhood still linger), get ready to be convinced. James Peterson's bar-setting recipe for the classic dish, from his JBF Award–winning cookbook Meat: A Kitchen Education, is the one that's going to make you a believer.

 

Peterson's meat loaf recipe distinguishes itself in a few key ways:

Recipe: Roman Chicory Salad

Tim Bodell's Roman Chicory Salad, adapted by the James Beard Foundation

 

Puntarelle, fennel, citrus, anchovy vinaigrette. Save for the puntarelle (which is a type of chicory), it sounds like a conventional combination,  But this isn't just any salad: it's the recipe that chef Tim Bodell makes for legendary filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola when he dines at Rustic, Francis's Favorites, the on-site restaurant at Coppola's winery. Bodell even uses an authentic puntarelle cutter from Italy to prep the greens.

Recipe Roundup: Super Bowl Spread

Alex Stupak's recipe from guacamole with pistachios, adpated by the James Beard Foundation

 

Regardless of which Harbaugh brother you'll be rooting for this Sunday, everyone can agree that half the fun of watching the Super Bowl is pigging out on the snacks. This year we're upping our game with pumped-up versions of crowd-pleasing classics.

 

Honey-Habanero Chicken Wings

Potent habanero peppers add an undercurrent of heat to the sweet and buttery sauce that accompanies these wings.

 

Guacamole with Pistachios

Pistachios add striking crunch to this addictive guacamole from chef Alex Stupak of the Empellón restaurants.

Recipe: Pimento Cheese Fritters with Green Tomato Jam

by Anna Mowry on January 30, 2013

Daniel Doyle's recipe for Pimento Cheese Fritters with Green Tomato Jam, adpated by the James Beard Foundation

 

We used to think that plastering pimento cheese over the nooks and crannies of a cracker was as good as it gets, but we were wrong. Daniel Doyle of Charleston's Poogan's Porch has given this beloved Southern condiment a greater purpose, packaging it inside addictive, gumball-sized fritters. “Pimento cheese is inherently Southern, so why not make it the focus of a dish?” he says. “And why not a fritter?” Who are we to argue?

Recipe: Cornmeal-Crusted Oysters with Sriracha Rémoulade

by Anna Mowry on January 22, 2013

 

Your football team—fantasy or real—may fall short year after year, but you can always count on an over-the-top spread on the day of the Super Bowl.

 

While wings, chili, and guacamole are always guaranteed a spot on our menu, the rotating setting of the big game gives us an excuse to throw some regional foods into the mix. This year's Super Bowl takes place in New Orleans, so we're planning on serving a few Gulf-inspired offerings, like these bite-sized oyster nuggets from Karey Johnson of Glow, located a leap down the coast in Rockport, Texas. Johnson coats her oysters in chili and garlic powder–seasoned cornmeal, fries them until crispy, and serves them with lime wedges and a garlicky, sriracha-spiked rémoulade.

Recipe: Parsnip Cake

by JBF Editors on January 15, 2013

Rosiana Tong's parsnip cake, adapted by the James Beard Foundation

 

Parsnip cake doesn't enjoy as high of a profile as its carrot-based cousin, but it's equally tasty and a breeze to prepare. This version from Berwyn, Pennsylvania's Nectar uses a fat pinch of baking spices to coax out the earthy sweetness of the grated root vegetables. If you have a food processor and a fine shredder disc, we recommend using them to prep your parsnips. The disc will produce a more delicate cut than a box grater will, and your finished cake will have a more pleasing texture.

 

Get the recipe here. The Nectar team will be cooking at the Beard House on February 8.

Michael Bologna's recipe for white bean and sausage stew, adapted by the James Beard Foundation

 

Get out your Dutch oven: it's stew season. From quick coconut shrimp to a lamb stew studded with parsnips and bacon, here are some of our favorite rib-sticking recipes.

 

White Bean and Sausage Stew [JBF]

This greens-flecked stew is simple enough to pull together on a weeknight. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese before serving.

 

Green Chile and Chicken Stew [BA]

A purée of roasted tomatillos, peppers, and chiles gives this dish its piquant depth.
