Recipes - Quick Chicken Stock - Chicken Noodle Soup - Pasta e Faigoli Equipment Corner - Fat separaters
S05E03
Soup for supper is an appealing concept, especially on a cold, snowy night. But for soup to work as a main course, it better be hearty. A light, clear broth simply won't do. Recipes - Quick Cheese Bread - Hearty Lentil Soup Equipment Corner - Vegetable peelers Tasting Lab - Mail order bacon
S05E04
On occasion local dishes become so popular that they transcend their region. Gumbo is a taste of Louisiana in a big old bowl. Its distinct aroma and flavor are like a quick trip to the bayous outside of New Orleans. Recipes - Creole-Style Shrimp and Sausage Gumbo - Cincinnati Chili Equipment Corner - Useful kitchen gadgets Tasting Lab - Long-grain white rice
S05E05
It sometimes seems like the simplest recipes suffer the worst fate in modern cookbooks. Maybe it's because no one really cares enough about these dishes to get them right. Recipes - Stuffed Pork Chops - All-Purpose Gravy - Glazed Carrots
S05E06
Despite its apparent simplicity, roast chicken is a hard recipe to get right. Recipes - Crispy Roast Lemon Chicken - Chicken Under a Brick with Roasted Potatoes Equipment Corner - Countertop Rotisserie ovens
S05E07
Dinner in less than 20 minutes is the holy grail of weeknight cooking. Many recipes make good on this promise, but most ultimately reflect the minimal effort exerted on the part of the cook. They are fine in a pinch but rarely worth making again. But it doesn't have to be this way. Recipes - Chicken Paillard - Pan-Seared Shrimp with Garlic Lemon Butter Equipment Corner - Cookware cleaning products Tasting Lab - Chicken cutlets
S05E08
Cooking for a family isn't as easy as it was once. In Norman Rockwell pictures, the entire clan (with aunts, uncles, cousins, and grandparents) is gathered around the table with a dozen different dishes in front of them. No one has soccer practice or is working late. No one is on a weird diet, and the kids seem to eat the same thing as the adults. Recipes - Sweet and Tangy Oven-Barbecued Chicken - Classic Macaroni and Cheese Equipment Corner - Stain removal products Tasting Lab - Microwave popcorn

We don’t part easily with money, but we will on occasion break the bank and buy a beef tenderloin. The tender, buttery interior is the big draw, and the combination of a healthy dose of seasoning and the flavor from the charcoal grill is a perfect solution to a rather mild-tasting (boring) piece of meat. Recipes - Grill-Roasted Beef Tenderloin - Salsa Verde - Broiled Asparagus Equipment Corner - Kitchen gadgets
S05E12
Even expert grillers can get in a rut. They make the same four or five recipes over and over again. Sure, the steaks are great, but isn’t there something a bit more exciting? Recipes - Thai Grilled Chicken with Spicy, Sweet, and Sour Dipping Sauce - Grilled Salmon with Maple-Soy Glaze Equipment Corner - Portable gas grills
S05E13

S05E15
Indian food has a reputation for being spicy (most of it is not) and hard to prepare at home (tell that to one billion Indians). However, it is true that many recipes require a long list of spices and other ingredients. Recipes - Chicken Biryani - Mulligatawny Soup Tasting Lab - Curry powder
S05E16
Pissaladière is Provençal street food, a fragrant, pizza-like tart prized for its contrast of salty black olives and anchovies against a backdrop of sweet caramelized onions and thyme. Recipes - Pissaladière Equipment Corner - Baking stones - Pizza cutters
S05E17
In the test kitchen, we enjoy authentic Italian dishes such as pasta all'amatriciana (episode 18-Italian Classics) and osso buco and polenta (episode 19-Winter Supper). But we also like to prepare Italian-American dishes. Recipes - Eggplant Parmesan - Pasta with Chicken and Brocoli
S05E18
There seems to be an endless supply of "classic" Italian dishes.

Recipes - Pasta all'Amatriciana - Mushroom Risotto Equipment Corner - Rotary cheese graters Tasting Lab - Jarred pasta sauces
S05E19

S05E20

S05E21
Sticky buns are things of breakfast-time debauchery. In bakeries, they are often plate-size buns, warm and glistening, heady with brown sugar and spices. In our opinion, anything less than a great one is not worth its calories. Recipes - Sticky Buns with Pecans Equipment Lab - New-generation Coffee Makers Tasting Lab - Supermarket coffee

S05E26
