Julia Child’s Trick for Perfectly Poached Eggs (Video!) — Video Tips from the Kitchn

The Best $20 I Ever Spent on My Kitchen — Life in the Kitchen
A few weeks ago I shared the best and worst things I’ve ever bought for my kitchen. It was only later I realized I’d forgotten to include one key purchase that has definitely made my life in the kitchen a little — well, a lot! — better.
I’m dubbing it the best $20 I ever spent for my kitchen, and because that’s too good a secret to keep to myself, I asked my fellow Kitchn editors and writers to chime in with their own picks! Here’s what they said.
Recipe: Cheesy BBQ Chicken Calzone — Dinner Recipes from The Kitchn
For those of you who don’t know me well, I am a full-fledged pizza junkie. I’m no snob, either — I don’t care whether it’s Pizzeria Mozza in Los Angeles or Papa John’s down the street. I’ll eat a slice from a truck stop, no problem, and I keep a secret stash of pepperoni bagel bites in my freezer. It’s okay, I’ve got no shame! But my favorite pies and calzones are always the ones straight from my own oven.

Recipe: Honey Custards with Caramelized Apples — Rosh Hashanah Recipes from The Kitchn
Honey and apples are the most well-known foods eaten on Rosh Hashanah — the Jewish New Year — for nothing is more symbolic of a round, sweet year than apples and honey. No Rosh Hashanah meal is complete without a plate of apple slices passed around to each guest, followed by a bowl of honey; slices are dipped, the prayers said, and apple slices slippery with honey are eaten amid shouts of “L’Shanah Tova! Happy New Year!”
This year, my own New Year’s meal will end with these smooth, sweet, delicious honey custards baked in round ramekins and topped with caramelized apples – giving a new twist to a traditional holiday dessert and a new way to herald a round, sweet year.
How To Strip Herbs off Their Stems — Cooking Lessons from The Kitchn
Let’s talk about fresh herbs. They smell great, they make our food taste incredible, and they are a pain in the you-know-what to get off the stem. If you try to tell me you actually enjoy picking off each tiny leaf, methodically working your way to a full tablespoon, I’m going to call shenanigans.
Yes, fresh herbs make us work for our reward — no way around it. At the very least, we should be sure we’re stripping and mincing our herbs in the most efficient way possible. Here’s a look at some of the most common herbs we use in our cooking and how to tackle them like a pro.
20 Important Recipes Starring Bacon — Recipes from The Kitchn
Ah, bacon; its crispy snap and smoky flavor have a special way of making everything it touches even better. It’s nearly perfect on its own, but it really shines when it’s added to another dish — everything from breakfast bakes and salads to side dishes and soups.
Let these 20 recipes show you there’s no shortage of ways to use bacon from breakfast to dinner. I’m talking breakfast polenta squares, bacon and cheddar biscuits, bacon-wrapped pork tenderloin, and the bacon-cheddar twice-baked potatoes you’re going to be dreaming of this fall.
