Click here  How Bouillon Cubes Became an International Pantry Staple To understand how bouillon achieved such international popularity, you have to consider the central role that broths and stocks have played in human history. Using water to stretch ingredients into a full, and filling, nutritious meal is a survival-based innovation that has come to define culinary traditions around the world. It was out of this ubiquity that the bouillon cube was born. Around the world, different brands of bouillon may reign supreme, and their products may instead be labeled "stock cubes" or "broth cubes," but oftentimes the MSG-heavy concentrate is no less a pantry staple. Thanks to its relatively low cost, ease and speed of use, and intense flavor, bouillon is a popular ingredient in kitchens on virtually every continent, where powders and cubes are used to season soups and stews, and in some cases, are even sprinkled directly over cooked plates of food.

| No images? Click here  Lamb Biryani With Saffron,Yogurt, and Caramelized Onions For his column this month, Nik Sharma is focusing on the science behind yogurt-based marinades and sharing his recipe for a lamb biryani. It's a celebration-worthy dish of fluffy basmati rice, caramelized onions, saffron, and tender chunks of spiced lamb. "Biryanis comprise a category of highly aromatic rice and meat dishes, typically served during special occasions; when I was growing up my family would eat biryani during the festival of Eid or at other celebrations. From a cook’s and a science standpoint, I find biryanis to be interesting because their emphasis lies in carefully building up layers of aromas and flavors and celebrating combinations of textures and colors—in a good biryani, every aspect of the dish is splendidly executed. Let’s take a closer look at what makes a biryani so special." - Nik More celebratory dishes

Breakfast burritos with chorizo, egg, and refried beans
| No images? Click here  Breakfast Burrito With Scrambled Egg, Chorizo, and Refried Beans Take a basic bean-and-cheese burrito, then turn it into breakfast. That's the basic thinking behind this flour-tortilla torpedo stuffed with scrambled eggs, melted Pepper Jack cheese, creamy refried beans, guacamole, crema (or sour cream), chorizo, and more. But of course we put a little more thought into it than just that. Proper assembly is key. To ensure every component is in nearly every bite, we layer them one atop another, like placing sheets and blankets on a mattress. This way, once rolled up, there are no sections of just eggs or just beans. More breakfast and brunch recipes
