Bring the Seafood Bistro to Your Kitchen With These Secrets to Perfect Pan-Seared Scallops

Italian food's wide-reaching appeal is easy to understand. The cuisine focuses on a small selection of ingredients — often less than eight in a single recipe — but emphasizes ingredient quality and a fine-tuned balanced palate. An especially delicious showcase of such humble culinary construction is marinara sauce. While commonly confined to jars in the United States, the fresh rendition is lighter, brighter, and bursting with flavor (though easily ruined with a simple mistake). It's a sauce that comes together quickly but is surprisingly versatile, both delicious on its own and useful as an ingredient in other dishes.

A Chef's Argument For The Humble Marinara Sauce

Did you know that National Oyster Day was August 5th? Yes, oysters have their own day, which is pretty cool because they are a huge part of New Orleans cuisine. The urban legend is that the best time to eat them is in the months ending in "R," but in actuality, oysters can be eaten year-round because of increased food safety handling, more monitoring and accountability for oyster farmers, plus the fact that most oysters are now farmed instead of wild-caught. To celebrate National Oyster Day, I am sharing this amazing recipe for chargrilled oysters, which were first made infamous by Drago's Restaurant in New Orleans, but with this easy recipe, you can make them at home anytime.
