☆ Your Grilled Cheese Needs Toum
▼ + stars: | 2024-03-10 | by ( Sam Sifton | ) www.nytimes.com time to read: +1 min

I’m embracing nostalgia today, luxuriating in memories of a Brooklyn I never experienced, even though I’m borough-raised. And for dinner beforehand, maybe Chinese roast pork on garlic bread? For Ham El-Waylly, nostalgia is a grilled cheese sandwich slathered with toum (above), a sauce made by combining garlic, lemon juice, salt and oil. The mixture is one that recalls the akkawi cheese manakeesh sandwiches he used to consume as a teenager in Doha, Qatar. The toum packs a wallop, as if you’d stuffed garlic bread with Muenster.

☆ Fugazetta Is a Better Cheesy Bread

You can top the bread with fruit or herbs (or fruit and herbs). I like to split the bread and layer the interior with mortadella and pistachio cream, as they do at All’Antico Vinaio in Manhattan. In Argentina, home to a huge population of Italian immigrants, focaccia dough can be used to make fugazza, a kind of pizza hybrid topped with mozzarella, provolone and shaved onions. As Ham El-Waylly explains in his new recipe, some Argentines dial their fugazza up a few notches and make fugazetta (above), a kind of fugazza calzone, with the dough sandwiching the cheese before it’s crimped shut and topped with shaved onions. These soften and char in the heat of the oven, and offer a nice contrast to the molten cheese within.

☆ Sprightly Soups (and Salted Margarita Bars) to Help You Feel Better

Ham El-Waylly’s latest contribution to the soup pharmacopoeia is a colorful vegetable tortilla soup. In it, he uses tortilla chips two ways: pulverized to add body to the broth, and sprinkled on top for a satisfying crunch. He also adds caramelized red cabbage for an earthy sweetness, and plenty of lime juice for a bracing acidity. In the set-it-and-forget-it realm of soup recipes, Sarah DiGregorio has two new slow-cooker recipes. I suggest Vaughn Vreeland’s salted margarita bars, which have loads of energizing vitamin C from all that fresh lime juice, plus tequila and Grand Marnier to evoke the cocktail.

☆ She says she was fired in retaliation. Hearst Magazines says she was insubordinate. Here's how Delish's hit YouTube show 'Budget Eats' came crashing down.

Produced by the Hearst-owned food brand Delish, "Budget Eats" was the kind of digital success story that traditional magazine giants crave. As Xie worked her day job developing recipes, "Budget Eats" was morphing from a pandemic experiment to a bonafide hit. A career recipe developer at work, the "Budget Eats" Xie doesn't even measure out ingredients. "It felt like she was afraid that putting 'Budget Eats' from her kitchen onto this cable network might dilute the honesty," Lennon-Simon said. As for "Budget Eats," Delish recently posted what is presumably the last episode.
