Even so, it’s…

Over the years, the culinary team here at Serious Eats has covered a lot of ground in the stewing department. Beyond developing delicious recipes, we’ve done our best to explore the science behind stewing beef, and have conducted experiments to determine the best way to brown beef and whether marinating meat before stewing is worth the hassle. And of course, there’s the question of whether or not beef stew is actually better the next day (which former Serious Eats editor Kenji has tested thoroughly!). Culinary experiments aside, our selection of beef stew recipes is substantial and varied—perfect for chilly winter…

December is here, the cold weather has set in, and it’s time to get your Hallmark-esque holiday cards sent out, complete with a sweet family photo and a “Happy Holidays” banner. A little cheesy? Maybe. But we all secretly love it.  If you don’t have the time or funds this year to do a whole holiday photo shoot, artificial intelligence can create a custom card in minutes — just like you can do with wedding invites or a dinner party menu.

My mom is the child of Ukrainian immigrants, so she learned early on that if you couldn’t eat it fresh, you pickled it, stewed it, or turned it into stock.

One of my favorite (and frankly easiest) ingredients to play this game with is a rotisserie chicken. So, in true waste-nothing fashion, here are my five favorite ways to make that one chicken go the distance. 1. Enjoy It…

Marketing isn’t the same as it was five years ago, or even last year. Traditional search is dying, website traffic is falling fast and email engagement is sliding. Instead, social media is where consumers now turn to learn about new brands, to find product recommendations from creators, to get customer support and—most importantly—where they spend their time in today’s attention economy. What it means to be a marketing leader is changing, and the stakes are high. Especially because consumers are price sensitive, with ever-increasing expectations for the brands they buy from. Executives and board members want to see proof of…
