Gorgonzola Pear Walnut Gnocchi

Pear slices warmed in butter meet sharp, salty Gorgonzola melted into cream, with sweet and salty trading places from bite to bite. The pear gets just 1 minute over medium-low heat, enough to turn its edges slightly translucent while the center stays crisp. Boiling would split the cheese sauce, so the Gorgonzola melts slowly over low heat. Walnuts toasted in a dry pan add crunch against soft potato gnocchi, and a little lemon juice and black pepper cut the weight of the blue cheese. The gnocchi come out as soon as they float, before they turn soft, and start to finish the dish takes about 15 minutes.

Chicken Chasseur

Golden chicken thighs simmer in a sauce of browned mushrooms, shallots, white wine and tomato in this French hunter-style braise. The skin is left undisturbed until it releases on its own; lifted too early, it tears. When the sauce runs slowly off a spoon, it is done, and mashed potatoes or crusty bread take care of whatever sauce remains.

Baking Medium

Beet Chocolate Cake

The moisture in beet puree is what makes this dark chocolate cake heavy and damp. That is also why it should never bake until it looks dry; it comes out as soon as a skewer in the center shows no wet batter.

Rice Easy

Korean Kkaennip Deulgireum Gyeran Bap (Perilla Egg Rice)

Perilla oil and kkaennip (perilla leaves) both come from the same plant, so one bowl carries the toasty smell of the seed and the fresh, minty smell of the leaf. The egg is cooked soft in butter and folded in.

Street food Easy

Korean Street-Style Egg Bread

Korean street vendors sell this egg bread in winter; here it bakes in a home oven. Muffin cups stand in if you lack the special molds, and eggs left at room temperature cook more evenly on top. After about 15 minutes at 180 degrees Celsius, the white is set and the yolk sits between soft and firm.

Desserts Easy

Tinginys (Lithuanian Biscuit Cake)

Broken biscuits and dried cranberries folded into a fudge of butter, condensed milk and cocoa set into a thick log that slices to show a mosaic of pale biscuit pieces in dark chocolate. This Lithuanian treat is never baked; at least four hours in the fridge do all the setting. Plain, crisp biscuits without cream or chocolate filling work best, broken by hand into small pieces rather than crumbs, since crumbs leave nothing to show in the slice.

Korean Grilled Mixed Mushrooms

Three mushrooms, king oyster, shiitake and oyster, are cut to roughly the same size and cooked in one pan. They hold a lot of water, and turning them too early steams them instead of browning, so wait until the underside is golden and flip only once.

Kimchi Bacon Mac and Cheese

A roux-and-milk cheddar sauce made on the stovetop, with the macaroni stirred straight in, keeps this loose and creamy rather than baked and set. Well-fermented kimchi brings sourness and heat, crisped bacon adds salt, and together they cut through the weight of the cheese. The kimchi is fried with the bacon first so its moisture cooks off before it meets the sauce.

Chicken Cordon Bleu

Pounded chicken breast rolled around ham and Emmental, breaded and pan-fried in butter and oil, shows a ring of melted cheese in every slice. Tucking in any exposed cheese keeps it from leaking into the pan.

Beignet (New Orleans Square Fried Dough with Powdered Sugar)

In New Orleans the beignet is a doughnut with no hole: yeast dough cut into squares and fried. Milk, egg and butter let it puff up soft and bready in the oil, and the heap of powdered sugar shaken on straight away melts a little into the warm surface and clings.

Loco Moco Rice Bowl (Hawaiian Beef Patty Gravy Rice Bowl)

Rice, then a beef patty, onion gravy and a soft fried egg: the Hawaiian bowl is built in that order. The gravy starts in the pan the patties came out of, with butter and the rest of the onion scraping up the browned juices before flour and Worcestershire sauce go in. The yolk gets broken and stirred through with the gravy.

Korean Mentaiko Butter Grilled Cod Roe

Three ingredients make this: salted pollock roe, butter and parsley. The roe goes into butter melted over low heat in a small pan and is left alone for the first two minutes, then rolled and basted once the underside sets pale gold. Its membrane is thin and splits easily if the heat climbs. Chopped parsley goes over the top on the plate.

Kimchi Garlic Butter Shrimp Spaghetti

The sauce has no cream, just butter and starchy pasta water tossed hard until they come together, and the sourness of kimchi plus a squeeze of lemon keeps it lighter than most garlic butter pastas. Sliced garlic fries alongside the kimchi so both flavors spread through the fat, and chopped scallion is scattered over after the heat is off.

Chicken Francese (Egg-Battered Chicken in Lemon Butter Sauce)

Instead of breadcrumbs, these cutlets wear a soft coat of flour and beaten egg, and that coating soaks up the lemon butter sauce like a sponge. Italian-American in origin, the dish uses butterflied chicken breast cooked quickly so it stays moist. The coating should come out golden rather than dark brown before it goes back into the sauce to turn glossy.

Bienenstich (German Bee Sting Cake) with Vanilla Cream

A topping of butter, honey and sugar boiled together with sliced almonds bakes right on the yeast dough of this German cake, and once cool the round is split crosswise and filled with vanilla cream. The cream is not just whipped cream: it is built on a no-cook instant vanilla pudding mix with milk and gelatin. Pudding powder meant for cooking cannot go into it as is.

Mushroom Risotto

The mushrooms come before the rice. Button mushrooms stay over high heat until their liquid is gone and the edges brown, and only then do onion, garlic and arborio go in, followed by warm chicken stock a ladle at a time. The rice is not rinsed; its surface starch is what makes it creamy.

Nogari-gui (Korean Grilled Dried Young Pollock)

Dried nogari pollock is toasted in butter over medium-low heat for about three minutes a side and served with a dip of gochujang and mayonnaise sharpened with a little lemon juice and sugar. Pieces too hard to cut get twenty seconds in the microwave first. Because it stiffens again as it cools, it goes out warm.

Kimchi Tofu Alfredo Farfalle (Creamy Kimchi Bow-Tie Pasta)

Cubes of firm tofu, browned at the edges, do the job meat usually does, while kimchi squeezed of its juice lends a sour, spicy note to a Parmigiano cream sauce. Left mostly unturned while it fries, the tofu colors at the corners without breaking apart. Bow-tie farfalle holds pockets of sauce in its pinched centers.

Chicken Fricassee (French White Wine Cream Braised Chicken)

The chicken thighs get only a light golden sear, which keeps this cream sauce pale and mild rather than turning it into a brown stew. Onion, garlic and mushrooms softened in butter give the sauce its sweetness, and the cream is reduced just until it coats a spoon thinly. Baguette or boiled potatoes soak up whatever sauce is left.

Black Rice Walnut Madeleines

A 15-minute rest in the fridge before baking helps the batter rise into the madeleine's raised hump. Black rice flour gives the crumb a purple cast, and coarsely chopped walnuts turn up here and there.

Korean Pollock Roe Butter Rice Bowl

The butter is split in two: half to cook the pollock roe for just a minute, half to melt over the hot rice. The roe comes off the heat the moment its color brightens, while the eggs still pop.

Korean Butter-Grilled Squid Beaks

Squid beaks in butter take so little time that another plate can go out in the middle of a drinking session. They are tossed with garlic in butter over high heat for about three minutes, then soy sauce and mirin are cooked down onto them.

Mac and Cheese

Grainy mac and cheese usually comes down to two things: flour lumps that never dissolved and cheese that split into grease from too much heat. Adding the milk in three parts prevents the first, and melting the cheddar over very low heat prevents the second. The macaroni comes out of the water underdone and finishes cooking in the sauce. If baking, the dish stays in the oven only until the top browns, which keeps the inside creamy.

Chicken Kyiv

Slice into the breaded chicken and melted garlic-parsley butter runs out from the center. The butter is frozen into a firm cylinder before it is wrapped, so it survives the cooking. The pan only browns the crust, and the oven at 190°C finishes the inside.
