Just for Her No Images? Click here   The Best Mother's Day Gifts: Cookware, Food, and Cocktail Edition​​ We've reinvigorated our Mother's Day gift guide for this year, and it's full of fantastic new options from all sorts of shops and purveyors. Below, you'll find a selection of our favorites, from a professional-grade coffee grinder to a gorgeous cake pan. Get the full story right here.   A Mesmerizing Bundt Pan​ These pans come in a variety of hypnotic shapes, with ridges and waves that produce eye-catching designs. If your mom is into baking, one of these will definitely make a lovely gift. But if she's more of a "you bake, I eat" sort of person, order a pretty Bundt pan for yourself and make her a cake of her choosing.   An Italian Nutella Upgrade We love this chocolate-hazelnut spread from Amaro by Italian chocolatier Marco Colzani. Amaro's spread certainly isn't as cheap as the supermarket variety, but it helps that its only ingredients are toasted IGP hazelnuts from the Piedmont region, cacao, and cane sugar. No oils or preservatives—just the good stuff.  An Ice Cream Machine There are some moms who just might love ice cream more than their children. Get even by helping her make her own ice cream at home. You can go with a simple canister model, like the Cuisinart ICE-21, but if you really want to splurge, a compressor model, like the Cuisinart ICE-100, whips up ice cream almost too easily, without any pre-freezing or long wait times.   A Professional-Grade Coffee Grinder If your mom doesn't currently grind her own coffee beans, getting her a coffee grinder will unquestionably improve her drinking experience and her morning. Pre-ground coffee, like pre-ground black pepper, just doesn't compare to the fresh stuff. See the rest of our picks and more gift ideas for your family right here!

How to Make the Best Grilled Skirt Steak Fajitas

Your Recipe of the Day No Images? Click here Grilled Skirt Steak Fajitas The DIY aspect of fajitas makes them a winner. There's nothing better than being presented with that plate of guacamole, pico de gallo, and sour cream; the anticipation of that sizzling platter of meat and vegetables laid down before you. The meat itself should be ultra juicy, with an overwhelming, almost buttery beefiness—this is skirt steak, after all, the butteriest of all beef—accented by a fajita marinade that's slightly sweet, very savory, and packed with lime and chili. Read More → The Kitchen Essential Chef's Knife The last step in perfect fajita meat is by far the most important: the carving. A good, sharp chef's knife is your best weapon for slicing through steak like a stick of warm butter.

The Most Popular Recipes in April

See it in action! No Images? Click here   The Most Popular Recipes of April They say April showers bring May flowers, but in our world, they bring an abundance of spring produce we can't wait to play with. When not dreaming of asparagus salads and ramp butter, we wrote about the best way to dispose of cooking oil (and the best way to clean a sticky pot, for that matter). We rounded up the best of the best knives from our many tests. Oh, and in case you missed it, we played a pretty good April Fool's Day prank (or two!). Stella broke the internet with her new Levain-style thick-and-gooey chocolate chip cookies. The entire office has been eating Sasha's XO sauce on just about everything. Sho introduced us to the wonders of shio (or "salt-flavored") ramen. Below are our most popular recipes of the month. If you missed the boat on them, now's your chance to make them in May! Try Them Out for Yourself! Homemade Chili Crisp Make this spicy, tingly, salty, crunchy, addictive chili condiment your own. Homemade XO Sauce XO sauce is a jammy condiment packed with the meaty and rich flavors of cured ham, dried shrimp, dried scallops, and a whole lot more. French Melt (Grilled Cheese With Caramelized Onion and Comté) It's like French onion soup in an easy-to-pick-up, extra-buttery package. Fresh Mango Syrup Don't throw out the mango pits and peels! Keep them and make this easy syrup, perfect for cocktails and desserts.   Homemade Star Crunch With gooey homemade caramel, creamy milk chocolate, and crunchy rice, these no-bake cookies are as satisfying as a candy bar, but way easier to make. Pork Shoulder Chashu Roasted pork shoulder chashu is a classic topping for ramen, and our tried-and-true reverse-sear method makes it easy to get the final temperature you want.   Real Tacos Al Pastor A guide to making classic tacos al pastor on the grill or in the oven. Thick and Gooey Chocolate Chip Cookies These giant chocolate chip cookies are more than dessert; they're an emotional journey of epic proportions.   Cajeta Whipped Cream This chantilly will add a note of toffee-like richness to any dessert. The Best Carne Asada Tender enough that you can eat it in a taco or burrito, but substantial enough to be served as a steak and eaten with a knife and fork.     Serious Eats 88 35th St Ste 602 Brooklyn, NY 11232 Click Preferences to control which emails you receive from Serious Eats.
