CelebrATE - National Lobster Day

Lobster lovers, rejoice! Today is the day we celebrate the rich and subtly sweet flavor that is lobster meat. But while lobster by itself is great, we have a few new ideas under our chef hat that will make your dinner table truly seafood-worthy. Tarragon and asiago cheese, to be exact - two flavors that get along swimmingly with your favorite risotto recipe. But don’t skimp on the guest of honor - a large, 3 lb. lobster will yield only about 12 ounces of cooked meat.

Yes We Pan - Up In Your Grill 

Don’t have a backyard? No problem. Save on charcoal and sun block with a little knowledge and creativity in the kitchen. We’ve made this handy go-to guide to help you get all the right grill flavors and textures while staying away from the pesky mosquitoes and oppressive heat. In fact, our Tuscan veal chop elevates what a good summer grill day can be. After all, we’re huge fans of eating great grilled food AND soaking up air-conditioning.

Hot or Not - Jalapeño

Sometimes all a party needs is a little spicing up. Whether you’re feeling a hot crunch or a more icy-spicy flavor, both of these dishes are readymade to wow at your first summer picnic or outdoor potluck. Up or downgrade the heat to your own preference, but be sure to warn others if you choose the nuclear option.

Elemental Eats - Fajita Free-For-All

A great stir-fry is all about balance, which can be difficult when you have a million different ingredients fighting for your taste buds’ attention. So we’ve broken down the proper proportions to this delicious dish, letting you chop, cut, and julienne your way to mealtime success. But don’t let that stop you from adding your own flavors into the mix - the more the merrier.

Sneak Peek - Up In Your Grill

Indoor grilling doesn’t get the culinary respect it deserves. You get the exact same grill marks, texture, and, if you use the right ingredients, smoky flavor that’s as good as any outdoor grill can offer. Stay tuned in the next couple of weeks to learn how you can become the best grillmaster on your block. 

Hot or Not - Ice Cream

HOT ice cream cake? COLD fried ice cream? Sounds crazy, right? But no, we don’t have a brain freeze. In fact, both of these unique after dinner showstoppers take dessert time into brand new territory. By using melted ice cream in the cake, you’re tasting the essence of its flavor. Also, by frying up ice cream cold, you get a double bite of complimentary textures. Give these ice cream recipes a churn, and they’ll definitely have your guests screaming for more.

If you use the stove to let your guests watch that gooey cheese melt and bubble over a golden crust, you will win them over before the first bite.

Fan Food - For Goodness, Cake

Here at Whisk Takers, we are big, big fans of cake. But sometimes you can omit an ingredient that you’ve always used because “that’s just how it’s always been made,” and with a few adjustments discover that you’ve made a great thing even greater. That’s how we came up with this recipe for a fantastic flourless cake that filters the flavors down to pure chocolate goodness. Use it as inspiration to revisit your recipes, and see if any ingredients are holding you back from greatness.

CelebrATE - National Grilled Cheese Day

Today we celebrate that ooey, gooey, crispy, crunchy goodness that is grilled cheese - as if you needed a reason. We all can agree that grilled cheese is a classic. But what happens when you combine it with another classic - the go-to Italian antipasto, bruschetta? A new family-favorite, that’s what. Because sometimes culinary creativity is about matching the right recipes together to elevate them both. Enjoy!

Yes We Pan - Poachery In Motion 

In cooking, everything comes down to careful timing and purposeful movement, two skills which poaching crystallizes into one single task. So we’ve whipped up an infographic that will make the task that much easier. But as a whisk taker, you know that even the most perfectly made meal is nothing without a dose of unexpected flavor. So check out our recipe below, and complement your perfectly poached eggs with a uniquely spicy-sweet bacon side that uses honey and cayenne to make your morning shine.

Sweet on White Chocolate

White chocolate has the sweet ability to share its chocolate notes without overpowering other flavors. This pumpkin-white chocolate bread pudding is the perfect example, and one we hope will inspire you to lead the white chocolate bandwagon with original recipes of your own.

For the aspiring whisktaker, inspiration can hit anywhere. Like, say, opening day at a baseball game. On one side, “Get yer hot dogs here!” On the other, “Churros! Fresh churros!” And so the Churro Dog is born. Ridiculous with flavor, this indulgent idea follows the decadent combination trends like the Cronut that have been popping up left and right. So you heard it here first - the Churro Dog is the next big dessert, and you’re in on the ground floor. Play ball!
