Our Favorite Recipes: Vegetable Soup

I love all of the pressure-cooked soup variations in Modernist Cuisine at Home. We have an “at home” version of the Caramelized Carrot Soup recipe (as in the video above), but we also have several variations using artichoke, parsnip, or apple, because the technique applies to nearly any vegetable. You can make a great soup in only 20 minutes.

Our Favorite Recipes: Microwaved Cod

Microwaved Black Cod with Scallions and Ginger is my favorite recipe from Modernist Cuisine at Home. My mom originally showed me the technique and I really love it. It very closely mimics a traditional Chinese steamed fish, but takes only minutes to prepare without sacrificing taste or texture.

The Secret to Perfect Chicken Wings

Every member of the Modernist Cuisine team has their favorite parts of Modernist Cuisine at Home, but without a doubt, high up on everyone’s list was developing the chapter on chicken wings (and eating and eating the results). The final recipe results in a chicken wing that is both tender and juicy on the inside and crispy on the outside.
