This year, Steve Dunn’s fascinating story on the [science and history of blackening food]( is a must-read (just as his recipe for [Blackened Chicken]( is a must-cook). David Pazmiño [recalls his grandmother ripening plantains]( until their skins turned black and their interiors sweet and creamy before turning them into [pastelón]( an ultracomforting casserole of fried sweet plantains and sofrito-laced ground beef. And Lan Lam [writes about her time working the brunch shift]( at a high-end restaurant and then turns that experience into a recipe for the [perfect Omelet with Cheddar and Chives](. Check out [the entire issue]( for more great stories and foolproof recipes. The recipes in this newsletter are free for two days Want access to every recipe, review, and video?
