Binging with Babish: Curb Your Enthusiasm Special
Adults FoodLarry David fluctuates wildly between flagrantly eschewing and rigorously enforcing cultural mores, all of which frequently revolve around food.

How to Make Life-Changingly Good Cream Puffs | From the Test Kitchen
Adults FoodThe cream puff is the Eiffel Tower of Parisian pastries: iconic, beloved, and displayed everywhere. The recipe is so irrefutably timeless that even Pierre Herme, France's most famous (and endlessly innovative) pastry chef, still uses the formula he learned as a 14-year-old apprentice.

Binging with Babish: Szechuan Sauce Revisited (From Real Sample!)

Why We Eat Too Much
Adults FoodWe're hugely invested in the idea that the cause of obesity lies with diet - and that we should therefore solve the problem with kale and apple soup (and other such products).

Adults FoodOnce Upon a Time in Mexico, against all odds, played a large role in the creation of BwB - my first-ever DVD, its special features showed me that I could one day be a filmmaker *and* a chef. In this 2003 Banderas action-comedy, Johnny Depp inexplicably caps a cook for making this Yucatanian special a bit too perfectly; as director Robert Rodriguez says, make at your own peril.
