Innholdsfortegnelse for June/July 2019 i Allrecipes

Summer! In my mind, vacations are synonymous with food. Every summer as a kid, my family traveled from Colorado to Iowa to visit my grandparents. The promise of my Grandma’s cooking was reason enough to look forward to the 1,400-mile journey back and forth on I-80. I still love a good road trip, and food plays a role in every destination. For our summer feature story (“Taste of America,” page 41), we took a look at the most popular recipes across the United States based on what you, our Allrecipes community members, search for online during the summer. We identified four regions in the continental U.S. and selected a destination drive for each. There are places to see and good food to eat along each route. If your plans…

1 Nora Roy can’t get enough of LICK HONEST ICE CREAMS (ilikelick.com) in Austin, Texas. “Their goat cheese, thyme, and honey ice cream is SO ridiculously good. They have creative—and delicious—flavors, don’t use artificial colors or flavors, and try to keep ingredients as local as possible.” 2 Rosalind Brazel likes FAINTING GOAT GELATO (faintinggoatseattle.com) in Seattle’s Wallingford neighborhood. “There’s always a line in the summer. The gelato is light, smooth, and creamy, and THEIR SALTED CARAMEL IS TO DIE FOR!” 3 When it comes to old-school scoop shops, Paula Roten says you can’t do better than VELVET CREAM (dipmenu.com) in Hernando, Mississippi. “Locals call it ‘The Dip.’ I love that it opened in 1947 and is still thriving 72 years later. It’s a hometown icon and offers 250 flavors.…

CHILL OUT To keep food out of the temperature danger zone, your cooler should be colder than 40°. How long the cooler stays cold depends on the temperature of the food going into it, the quality of the cooler, and how often it’s opened. For insurance, pack extra ice in another cooler to add as needed. And use a smaller cooler for beverages, since the drink cooler tends to be opened more frequently. EVEN MORE STYLES!

ALSO KNOWN AS Elise Mayfield, 34, of Birmingham, Alabama MY STORY I’m a blogger, cook, and food stylist in Meredith’s Birmingham test kitchen. After college, my winding path took me first to The Second City in Chicago, where I studied and performed improv and sketch comedy. (It was awesome!) Next came MasterChef, and now back to my hometown, Birmingham. MY MASTERCHEF MOMENT During grad school in Chicago, I heard one day that MasterChef was holding auditions. I had less than 24 hours to prepare and, of course, I was hosting a theater-company meeting that morning. I whipped up a dish (chicken hand pies with Brussels sprouts slaw). Then I packed my dish in an insulated lunch bag lined with socks stuffed with heated rice and hand warmers, and headed…

“Great flavor, and so quick and easy! I added onions, mushrooms, and zucchini. I also used garlic powder since I didn’t have cloves on hand.”– HOLLY “I added mushrooms and shallots to the cauliflower rice. The dish needed a bit of fresh chile pepper or more ginger to perk up the flavor—a side of kimchi helped out.”– M’LEE “I added salt and pepper to the egg wash. To the bread crumbs, I added 2 tsp. Old Bay, 1 tsp. paprika, ½ tsp. garlic powder, and some salt and pepper.”– HAMBONE EASY KETO KOREAN BEEF WITH CAULI RICE PHOTO ON PREVIOUS PAGE HANDS-ON 10 MIN TOTAL 20 MIN SERVES 4 SUBMITTED BY FIOA 13 REVIEWS  1 (10-oz.) bag frozen steam-in-bag riced cauliflower 2 tsp. sesame oil 1 lb. lean ground beef 3 cloves garlic, minced ¼ cup…

coffee, WITH CAVEATS Caffeine is a key ingredient in several headache medicines, and many migraine sufferers report a strong cup of coffee can stave off a migraine. Caffeine helps in two ways. Before a headache, your blood vessels enlarge. Caffeine, on the other hand, helps blood vessels tighten. This restricts blood flow and can reduce migraine pain. Caffeine also blocks the neurotransmitter adenosine, which spikes during a migraine and results in enlarged blood vessels. In fact, researchers found that when adenosine is injected into a vein, it can prompt a migraine. But while an occasional cup of coffee might give you relief, avoid daily consumption and have no more than 200 millgrams of caffeine in a day—about the amount in a large mug of coffee. According to the American…

DO THE DOLLAR MENU If you need to order fast food, bring your own drinks and order off the dollar menu, Angie advises. Combo meals are billed as a value but often include more food than you need. But with the dollar menu, four people can each get a couple of items for less than $10. PLAN FOR LOW-TECH ACTIVITIES When technology fails (hello, old batteries and Wi-Fi dead zones), something as simple as a box of crayons and paper can be lifesaving entertainment. “As a military brat who had many moving adventures, we always traveled with crossword puzzles and coloring books,” Sarah says. “And we played educational games, like naming state capitals and spotting different state license plates.” BYO BABY WIPES Spills are inevitable, whether you’re traveling with…

1. WHAT IS “sous vide”? Sous vide—pronounced sue veed, French for “under vacuum”—sounds fancy, but it’s actually a simple cooking method that guarantees evenly cooked, tender, juicy meats. All you need is a zip-top freezer bag, a pot of water, and a sous vide device that can keep a pot of water at a constant temperature. 2. WHAT’S SO SPECIAL ABOUT IT? A sous vide device keeps water in a pot circulating and its temperature constant—never boiling—so cooking is gradual. Steak can take two to three hours, for instance. But once it’s done, it stays at that temp. You can’t overcook it, even if you need to leave it for hours. It’s ideal for busy families who eat dinner at different times. 3 HOW DOES IT WORK? You season…
