If we can cook it, you can cook it And we'll travel the world to bring it back home to you.
I would be hard-pressed to find a recipe any easier than this one. As easy as it is, it delivers a wonderfully creamy rich soup so packed with cheese tortellini and fresh spinach and carrots, I’d be tempted to call it a stew. The secret…
This bowl of cold-weather comfort revealed quite a secret. This hearty Tuscan bean soup is a perfect combination of smooth, silky soup topped with crispy, crunchy croutons. It also fulfills our promise to put more plant-based meals together this year. And we’re not alone. Americans…
If you love Coleslaw, this version from our local supermarket is well-worth making. What is summer without coleslaw? Who can imagine Fried Chicken without it? As Colonel Sanders himself said, “It’s always a tough decision between that, the Mac and Cheese, and the mashed potatoes,…
Because you can never serve too many tomatoes this time of year. I realize this recipe comes right on the heels of our wildly popular Heirloom Tomato Tart recipe, but we just cannot get enough of this year’s stellar crop of tomatoes. This tart first…
I don’t remember a single recipe on Chewing The Fat that’s faster to make than this: 10 minutes. That’s all it takes to enjoy two of the greatest gifts of summer. Sweet corn, peaking now and Cherry Tomatoes overwhelming our garden right now. We wait…
This meal is a sum of its parts: A sublime Fried Chicken, my take on Sicily’s Caponata and great Pesto topping a crispy toasted Baguette. When I was looking around for something special to serve as a supper for guests, I came across this extraordinary…

Cooking for One Yields Some Great New Discoveries for Two. Or More. I don’t know about you, but in our house, there are some forbidden ingredients. Olives of any kind. Cabbage when used outside of Cole Slaw. Pickles. Blue Cheese. Cauliflower. And most especially Kimchi,…
Hats off to Tyler Florence for the inspiration for this recipe. I can’t really claim that I followed Tyler’s recipe. But the basics are his. It can be made entirely without turning on the stove…with one caveat*. Everything goes into the blender in easy steps…
The time is right to make this terrific recipe right now. This is a fantastic tart. And it’s right of the moment because it works best with Spring’s earliest and thin-stalk Asparagus. We used both Green and Red Asparagus in ours. And then there’s the…
A Vegetarian Pasta kicks off Asparagus Season with a twist. The first asparagus of the season is something we can’t wait for. Asparagus has become a virtually year-round staple, imported off-season from South America. But nothing compares to the home-grown variety. We love asparagus so…

All that pasta you just bought put to very good use indeed. In New York City where I live, the supermarkets have been stripped bare of many items. But I have to say the complete absence of pasta is quite stunning. That may well be…

ATTENTION ALL SNACKERS!
HAVE WE GOT A CRACKER FOR YOU!
THEY’RE CALLED CRAIZE FOR A GOOD REASON.
These sweet corn crackers have a Latin soul. The brainchild of Leonardo Cotter of Miami, these roasted corn-crackers are based on Venezuelan Arepas! Wafer-thin, crunchy as all get out they check a lot of boxes: They’re Gluten-free, vegan, and kosher. But most of all they’re exceptionally tasty. The four-year-old company first created its authentic Latin flavors with varieties that included Sweet Corn, Seeded, Guava, Plantain, Coconut and Roasted Corn.
This year, in a burst of pandemic invention, Cotter hit on an entirely new flavor. He has created the “Everything”. Using the brand’s Sweet Corn as a base, Craize combined Everything Bagel seasoning to create a sweet yet savory cracker that’s a perfect upgrade of America’s passion for the Everything Bagel. As Leonardo Cotter says “Everything Craize is as traditional as it is ground-breaking. It’s the evolution of one of America’s classic foods, bagels, mixed with Latin authenticity.” He adds “It’s a healthy cracker that perfectly blends the sweetness of corn with the saltiness of “Everything” seasoning. It’s must more than a bagel alternative but it still pairs amazingly well with the bagel’s natural partners, cream cheese and lox”. At Chewing The Fat, we loved every Craize cracker we tried completely unadorned. Then experimenting with a variety of toppings including goat cheese, salsa, herbed cheese, guacamole – even chocolate topping the coconut variety– these superthin crackers delivered even more flavor. You’ll soon find Craize in supermarkets everywhere. But in the meantime, you can order direct from Craize at https://gocraize.com/ or on Amazon.com.
