Matzo Ball Soup

Mar 3, 2025 | bonappetit.com | Molly Baz

Fans who grew up eating matzo ball soup have firmly set opinions. Some love “floaters” or light, fluffy matzo balls; others prefer “sinkers,” a denser style of dumplings. This version meets the two camps in the middle, with matzo balls that are rich and flavorful (thanks to the addition of schmaltz, a.k.a. rendered chicken fat) and tender and light (thanks to a generous amount of beaten eggs and ample time left to hydrate).

Feb 11, 2025 | carlalallimusic.substack.com | Molly Baz

Paid Subscriber Episode SetupIn this episode of Worst Day of Your Life So Far, Molly Baz, cookbook author, mayo entrepreneur, and my beloved friend, recounts a harrowing tale that led one doctor to tell her she might never run again. True story.
Mortadella-wrapped grissini recipe by Molly Baz

Dec 2, 2024 | theguardian.com | Molly Baz

The only thing more decadent than starting off a meal with a platter of mortadella is starting off a meal with a platter of breadsticks rolled in spicy chilli butter and then wrapped in mortadella. I first had a mortadella-wrapped breadstick at Nancy Silverton’s Osteria Mozza and haven’t stopped thinking about it since. My version features a super-simple compound butter with funky, spicy Calabrian chillies and lemon zest (to really live, try it on roast chicken and baked potatoes).
Slow-Roasted Salmon Recipe | Bon Appétit

Oct 16, 2024 | bonappetit.com | Molly Baz

The first time we ran a recipe for slow-cooked salmon poached in olive oil, surrounded by fennel and citrus slices, and casually pulled apart, readers swooned. We swooned! It became an instant, oft-imitated classic. We’ve riffed on it ourselves, running flavor variations over the years, including this new one. The reason it has become such a staple: The low temp and abundance of olive oil make it nearly impossible to overcook. You’ll forget there’s any other way.
Corn Muffins With Fresh Corn Recipe

Oct 15, 2024 | bonappetit.com | Molly Baz

Back in 2018, former BA food editor Molly Baz sent a reference photo for her corn muffin recipe to her team, as planned—and to all 2,600 employees at Condé Nast. “The crowds went wild,” Molly explains. We get it. These cornbread muffins are packed with sweet, juicy corn kernels. Per Molly, they’re “so delicious, so corny, so hot and steamy, [and] buttery.” Aside from sending a low-res photo to over 2,000 strangers, what’s not to love?
Blackout Chocolate Banana Bread

Sep 17, 2024 | bonappetit.com | Molly Baz

What began as chocolate banana bread “turned into blackout cake,” said former staffer Molly Baz of this recipe, when she “decided to double down and use both cocoa powder and chopped chocolate.” When a dash of whole wheat flour made its way into the mix, the recipe strayed even further from BA’s Best Banana Bread. The addition was not an attempt at health, mind you. Instead, Molly says, “It brings out the nuttiness of the chocolate.” Well, okay.

Recipe: Molly Baz’s Easy Chicken Curry is a Hearty Winter Warmer

Aug 10, 2024 | houseandgarden.co.za | Bon Appetit US |Molly Baz

All you need is some rice to soak up all that spiced, coconut-y goodness. This chicken curry recipe is a winner. I feel you: There's something about the word "curry" in a recipe title that might make you swipe left. You might think that it's going to take a lot of time, or require a bunch of of ingredients that you don't know how to find.
One-pot chicken mujadara recipe by Molly Baz

May 27, 2024 | theguardian.com | Molly Baz

Heaps of shallots, lentils and rice cook along with a whole chicken for a Middle Eastern mujadara-inspired one-pot meal that defies everything I thought I knew about roasting a chicken. Somehow, despite the fact that you will roast a whole chicken in a pot with the lid on, what emerges is a deeply burnished, perfectly cooked bird. The moisture from the rice and lentils in the pot yields the most evenly cooked, juicy chicken meat I’ve ever had in a whole-bird format.
