Flytrex has partnered with Little Caesars to revolutionize pizza delivery, utilizing Sky2 drone technology to deliver family-sized pizza orders within minutes, enhancing customer experience and efficiency.

"Mirazur is in an absolutely magical part of the French Riviera, between the ocean and mountains, straddling Italy and France. It's where I found my kitchen, and myself."

Red Lobster had the best deal with its Classic Maine Lobster Tail coming in at $22.99, but it's also the only reasonably priced tail you can buy on its own.

Being here has definitely made me more precise. Gordon is very decisive - he makes a plan, and then we get on and do it. That's very much my ethos now.

Red mullet is a semi-fatty fish that may not be very familiar or easily accessible for home cooks unless you have the right vendor. It's best cooked whole and can be marinated with chili, garlic, and thyme for several hours or overnight to develop its flavor.

The old oyster rule refers to the toxic red tides common in ocean waters during warmer months - which also happens to be oyster spawning season.

The combination of warmer weather and the impending release of my new book has got me fully focused on sunshine food and Mediterranean flavours, leaning heavily on recipes from Claudia Roden.

Henry Harris describes his experience as the head chef and co-owner of Bouchon Racine as 'my most favourite three years of cooking and restaurant ownership.' He emphasizes the importance of creating a space where guests feel 'loved and valued'.

Country of origin labeling became mandatory on all international products entering the United States in 2009. The goal was to ensure American consumers knew where the products they were buying came from, enabling shoppers to make informed buying decisions. These products include everything from Mexican avocados to French wine to pasta from Italy, with the latter thankfully safe from recent U.S. tariffs. However, does the location a product comes from actually matter?

Few low-prep dishes satisfy and delight on busy weeknights like one-pot pastas, and one of the best ingredients to take your pasta dishes to the next level is vegetable broth. Boiling dry pasta directly in vegetable broth instead of water imparts bolder flavor as the pasta soaks it up. Plus, you'll end up with a pot full of starchy cooking liquid from the boiled pasta, which can provide a solid base for building a pan sauce.

The expense, return on investment, and volume of investors needed to make it a reality did not make sense. I thought, 'maybe it's time to do something new.' The amount of money you need to run a restaurant in Brooklyn or Manhattan at this point is so crazy. If you fail, the loss is massive. Here, we were able to do a major renovation, we have a 100 bottle wine list, and we can use the ingredients we want and serve them at a decent price point because our overhead is not as bad.

These leadership changes are not just about new faces; they signify a shift towards culinary creativity that prioritizes sustainability, local sourcing, and unique flavor profiles. As industry leaders, these chefs are setting the stage for a culinary renaissance that will engage diners and elevate their dining experiences.

Don't be intimidated by fresh mushrooms. They are prized for their flavor and versatility. Look for firm mushrooms that are free of soft spots or mold. Wash them just before using them but be sure to store them unwashed. Never submerge in water to wash them because mushrooms absorb like a sponge and become mushy. Wipe with moist paper towels.

Of the five mother sauces, velouté is extremely under-appreciated and not talked about enough. It's what we as Americans call gravy, which we know has so many various uses. Velouté, which means velvety in French, is made with a light roux (or a mixture of flour and fat, like butter), stock or broth, and some seasoning like salt and pepper, and a bay leaf.
