The Science of Cheese Is Far Weirder Than You Think

Cheese is not just food, it’s a variety show. It has fascinated humanity for a long time, inspiring people to refer to it as ‘milk’s leap toward immortality’ [yes]. But the strangest question I have ever been asked is whether you can make cheese from breast milk. And it’s been asked several times.

NYC Taco Hunting: Have You Tried These Rare Tacos?

In theory, the taco is a simple food: tortilla, filling, maybe some garnish, done. But there’s an incredible variety of what you can stick in that tortilla well beyond the usual chicken-beef-pork. From eggs (beyond breakfast tacos) to off-off cuts (eyes, anyone?) to fried bugs, the taco comes in many flavors, and if you hunt around New York’s taquerias and restaurants, you can find some examples well beyond the standards.

We Try the Falafel Pie From Benjy’s Kosher Pizza Dairy Restaurant & Sushi Bar, Queens

The five boroughs are dotted with numerous cuisine-unspecific kosher restaurants, serving everything from shawarma to pizza to sushi, all rabbinically approved for Orthodox Jewish consumption. Benjy’s Kosher Pizza Dairy Restaurant & Sushi Bar in Flushing is one notable example. According to the restaurant’s extended name, a woman I spoke to while having lunch there, and this blog post (picked up by Gothamist), the pizza is the thing to order at Benjy’s. And having read that post, there was no way I’d be ordering anything other than the Falafel Pizza.

Macadamia Nut “Ricotta” From ‘Nom Nom Paleo’

Nut "cheese" is not the first thing I expected to make from a Paleo cookbook. Most nut cheese recipes call for cashews; as someone with a cashew allergy, I have tended to avoid all dairy-free cheeses for the sake of safety. So I was pleasantly surprised when Michelle Tam’s recipe for nut "cheese" in her new cookbook, Nom Nom Paleo, called for macadamia nuts. Mild-tasting, rich, and sweet, these round nuts not only fit into my diet, but they also seem like an ideal substitute for ricotta.

The Monte Cristo Burger at Umami Burger is Better Than You’d Expect

Designed in collaboration with Ink chef and former Top Chef champion Michael Voltaggio, this burger is topped with Busseto prosciutto and Gruyère fondue and served on a French toast-ified bun dusted with powdered sugar. A first glance it seemingly appeals solely to gluttonous masochists and lovers of a good culinary mashup. Sadly, I am both.

Bake the Book: Banana Upside-Down Cake with Malted Pudding

Bananas and nuts are an idiot-proof combination, but the addition of malted milk is like having a milkshake in cake form. Which is to say, excellent.
