How Eater Young Gun Annie Rupani makes her dinner parties truly interactive This is Party Time , a column featuring industry and Young Gun-approved approaches for acing a dinner party. Annie Rupani started in the industry as a one-woman show. The 2015 Eater Young Gun had intended to launch a career in law, but during post-graduate travels, she grew inspired to pursue her love of chocolate. After chocolatiering school, Rupani landed in Houston, where she launched her business, Cacao & Cardamom, as not just its chocolatier, but also as the dishwasher and the handywoman, the salesperson, marketing specialist, and financial planner — basically everything needed to get the business off the ground. The dedication paid off, and over five years she has grown Cacao & Cardamom to include a team of 10 employees. “We’ve grown from just producing chocolate bon-bons and truffles to expanding our selection with candy bars, dragees, mendiants, artisan bars, and rochers,” Rupani says. “I

Del Taco Has a Line of Churro-Scented Essential Oils Because ‘Wellness’ Is Everywhere

Essential oils in chocolate, churro, and vanilla scents. | Photo: Del Taco Plus, meat crime, and more news to start your day “Self-care!” cries taco chain Del Taco is branching into Goop territory with a new “Craveable Sweets & Scents” aromatherapy set of essential oils available starting October 1, in honor of the taco chain’s new “mini churro dipper” milkshake. This isn’t the first time a fast-food brand has gotten into the scents game — KFC introduced a gravy-scented candle , Burger King a Whopper-scented perfume , White Castle a burger-scented candle — but unlike its predecessors, Del Taco is playing it safe and traditional with vanilla, chocolate, and churro scents. Where’s the taco-scented essential oil, you coward?? The savory-over-sweet types who want a room to reek of wet burrito plato deserve marketing gimmicks, too! And in other news… Employment for chefs continues to fall, but employment for cooks has grown to an all-time high, according to data by the Bureau o

Montmorillonite Clay Is This Chef’s Holy Grail Self-Care Product

Image
Benne on Eagle chef and Eater Young Gun Ashleigh Shanti went “clay crazy” when she discovered the multipurpose clay at the health-food store Eater Young Gun Ashleigh Shanti (’19) isn’t totally sure who first told her about montmorillonite clay, but it’s been a staple of her self-care routine for at least three years now, purchased in bulk from her local health-food store. “When I first started using it I went clay crazy,” says the chef de cuisine at Benne on Eagle in Asheville, North Carolina, who is known for her expertise in fermented foods and thoughtful menus drawing from traditional African-American Appalachian cuisine. “I was using it to brush my teeth, in detox baths, in my hair mask.” Montmorillonite clay, also sold as French green clay or European clay, is a mineral powder similar to bentonite clay (which is the primary ingredient in Aztec Secret Indian Healing Clay ($10), the best-selling facial mask on Amazon). Shanti’s preferred montmorillonite clay is from vitamin an

White Chicken Chili Cornbread Skillet.

Image
Comfort food season calls for chicken chili cornbread pie. Don’t you think? It’s like the ULTIMATE comfort food, what with two comfort foods (hello chili… and cornbread) built into one.  This is one of those dishes that never turns out pretty but it tastes fantastic. You want a second bowl, there’s a fight over the leftovers and you start thinking about just how soon you can make the dish again. YEP it’s one of those.  If you haven’t made the white chicken corn chili/chowder in The Pretty Dish yet, well, you must! It’s such a great recipe, especially in September and October as corn season comes to a close. It’s a soup that isn’t very heavy so it works great on days when it still reaches 90 degrees, like today.  (BUT WHY?!) My favorite thing to serve with it is the herb feta cornbread which is also in The Pretty Dish . And that combination is one of my favorite things to make, so I figured… why not combine them! The whole point of this ramble is that I took the base of that r

How to Make English Muffins by Erica

Image
If you were given the option of choosing between toast and English muffins, which would you pick? Sorry, that’s a really difficult choice, I know. They are both sublime breakfast treats. But I would have to say that English muffins would probably be my first choice.     The main advantage that English muffins have over toast, in my opinion, is their butter-trapping ability. Toast is amazing, don’t get me wrong. But English muffins can be simply saturated in butter without it dripping out the other side. This is because of the way English muffins are cooked. Instead of simply being baked, they are first cooked on a griddle. This results in a “seared” outside. Kind of like the end pieces of a loaf of bread. A slice of bread is porous on both sides, so there’s nothing to keep melted butter from leaking through. English muffins also have a lovely, distinct taste because they’re griddled. And, since they’re coated in cornmeal, they’re tinged with a toasty corn flavor. Yum! Do I have y
