This Mushroom-Based Condiment Captures the Essence of Filipino Cuisine

1 week ago | eater.com | Bettina Makalintal

Here’s the thing about plant-based Filipino food: While our cuisine has no shortage of delicious vegetable dishes, many of them, as traditionally cooked, still rely on fortification from fermented seafood, a funk that comes either in the form of fish sauce or the paste known as bagoong. There are many kinds of bagoong, but what you’re most likely to encounter in the United States is the jammy brown sauteed shrimp paste sold in jars by brands like Kamayan and Barrio Fiesta.

How to Bake Without Eggs, According to Vegan Pastry Chefs

2 weeks ago | eater.com | Bettina Makalintal

When it comes to egg replacements, “you’re always kind of looking for a goo,” says Lars Varley. They’re the chef de cuisine at the New York City restaurant HAGS, which offers omnivore and vegan tasting menus. Eggs are essential goo, Varley explains: In baking, they perform multiple functions, like binding and adding moisture, fat, and aeration. But whether it’s because of allergies, personal ideology, or economic concerns, baking with eggs isn’t always possible.
The Best Eggless Quiche Recipe on the Internet Uses Tofu Instead of Eggs

2 weeks ago | eater.com | Bettina Makalintal

As of this writing, what were once the cheapest eggs at my nearby, affordable grocery store are now a painful $9.99 per dozen, up from $4 not long ago. In these topsy-turvy times, I’ve been increasingly curious about decreasing my egg usage. And while that’s easiest in dishes in which eggs aren’t the main feature but a component, the rise of products like Just Egg has made me curious about how even egg-centric dishes can be tweaked.
WTF, Eggs?

2 weeks ago | eater.com | Brette Warshaw |Amy McCarthy |Bettina Makalintal

Eggs, in a fundamental biological sense, are life. They are also having a very strange year. In January, the cost of eggs jumped 15 percent. A month later, eggs experienced their largest price jump since 1980. This surge in prices was, of course, due to the ongoing avian flu epidemic: From December through February alone, almost 54 million chickens were slaughtered after being exposed to the virus.

Fabio Lovino/HBO The following may contain spoilers for The White Lotus Season 3. Soon, we will finally understand why The White Lotus next-episode previews keep teasing us with shots of a blender. We were first introduced to the blender early in the season when the then wholly unsympathetic himbo Saxon Ratliff, played by Patrick Schwarzenegger, obtains one in order to make his requisite protein shakes.

What’s the Best Banana Bread Recipe on the Internet?

3 weeks ago | eater.com | Bettina Makalintal

Lille Allen/see below for full photo credits Banana bread is simply an inevitability in life: You ignore that bunch of bananas, they become too brown to be appealing on their own, you make them into banana bread. For this reason I have never been especially picky about it. I tend to follow this loose banana bread ratio as opposed to a specific recipe, and, to be honest, don’t have especially high standards when it comes to the finished result.
The Best Kitchen Tweezers for Cooking, Plating, and Anything Else That Requires Precision

I, perhaps like you, used to be a real tong freak. The phrase “I love tongs” came up in my life with surprising frequency. I had favorites (mine are, I regret to report, an unbranded pair I got over a decade ago). I felt tempted by the mini tongs every time I saw them at Home Goods. And of course I did the clicky-clacky move whenever I used them — that’s half the point of owning tongs. I still use tongs, sure.
