Preparation So, you burned the toast. Beyond a kind of culinary black eye, do you need to worry about the health risk of ingesting charred bread? The question stems from recent research studies noting that high levels of the chemical acrylamide have been linked to cancer in laboratory animals. Acrylamide forms in some foods—particularly grains and starches—during certain types of high-temperature cooking, such as frying, roasting, baking, toasting. Basically, it’s a reaction that occurs from the sugars and an amino acid that are naturally present in the food when cooked at a very high temperature....

Preparation A versatile grape that can be used to produce a bold red wine or a sweet and light “blush” wine, zinfandel has a fascinating origin story. We’re concentrating on red zinfandel here and shining a spotlight on this quintessential California wine that pairs so well with barbecue and other meats. During the gold rush era of the mid-19th century, European immigrants saw the opportunity to bring Old World vines to California (before that, the leading wine grape was called mission, brought up by missionaries from Mexico), but zinfandel was the one crop whose lineage has been very hard to trace....

Preparation Said to have originated in the village of Meiringen, Switzerland, the ethereal egg white confection we call meringue can be served in a variety of ways—piped atop a pie, baked slowly for a crispy pavlova, folded into soufflés, as a base for buttercream frosting—the list goes on!

Transforming viscous, yellowish clear egg whites into a pure white, cloud-like meringue is truly one of the great shows of science in cooking, and there are three traditional methods of preparation: French, Swiss, and Italian....
