Chili-Rubbed Tilapia with Asparagus and Lemon recipePhoto: EatingWell


Tilapia, a relatively plentiful fish, has the unfortunate reputation of being dull. All it needs is a spice rub -- a familiar barbecuing technique that works just as well indoors. Here, we've paired the fish with the bright flavor of lemon and fresh spring asparagus. And with a prep time under 30 minutes, it's an ideal weeknight meal.

Frisee Salad with Bacon Gorgonzola recipePhoto: Stephen Davis Phillips


Frisée (or curly endive) is perfect for salads because its feathery leaves hold just the right amount of dressing. Chef Marco Canora's combination of frisée, crisp bacon strips (lardons), and a dressing made from creamy gorgonzola, bacon fat, and sherry vinegar creates a salad that has a wonderful balance of rich and tangy.

how to ahrd boil eggs for Easter egg dyingPhoto: Getty Images


Easter-egg time is not the time to mess up the hard-boiled eggs. And, sure, you may think you've got it down pat. But here's the thing: If you cook those eggs beautifully now, after Easter has come and gone, you'll have perfect hard-cooked eggs to simply salt and eat or make into egg salad, potato salad, or a bunch of other delicious dishes. (Get a dozen recipes for leftover Easter eggs here.)

Hard-Boiled Eggs
Brown shells are thicker than white shells, and thus more crack-resistant, making them ideal for hard-boiling. There's no other differences between white and brown eggs -- they just come from different breeds of hen.

Cover the eggs with an inch of water, and then remove the eggs. Bring the water to a boil, and lower the eggs into the water with a spoon or tongs. The boil will die down, but when it resumes, lower the heat and simmer the eggs to your desired doneness (about 10 minutes). Experiment with timing to find what works best for you (you can cook them up to 15 minutes).

A pinhole in the tip of the egg will keep the shell from cracking due to trapped air.

Drain hot water and fill pan with cold water. Allow eggs to sit in cold water in order to stop the cooking process.

Watch a video on how to cook eggs.

Passover begins tonight, and before heading out to your first Seder, you might check out this article in the New Jersey Star-Ledger to get into the spirit of things (and to remind yourself of the rich traditions of Jewish cooking, way beyond matzo).

The Jewish festival, of course, commemorates the release of the ancient Israelites from slavery in Egypt. Everything that's served at a traditional Seder is steeped in symbolism -- which doesn't always make for the type of dish that you might dream about eating all year (celery with vinegar, anyone?).

But what about creamy noodle kugels, piquant cold borscht or the perfect marriage of warm potato dumplings topped with brisket? These and a host of other recipes culled from the memories of Holocaust survivors have been collected by June Feiss Hersh in a soon-to-be-released cookbook, Recipes Remembered: A Celebration of Survival.

The Star-Ledger profiled the work of Hersh and talked to some of the survivors she features in her book, which apparently also showcases some surprising recipes, like a tres leches cake and gnocchi alla romana, collected from Jews who fled the Nazis for places like the Dominican Republic or Italy.

Gail Simmons is a cook who likes to give a dish like roasted lamb a spike of flavor. And she finds that spike in grated fresh horseradish, which she adds to the sauce. Spring is the season for lamb, and when it's braised in beef stock and beer, this lovely meet takes on a depth that may surprise you. Served on a bed of rainbow chard, it's a rich portrait of early spring.
