Pumpkin pie is one of the most popular Thanksgiving desserts. In this version, we pressure-cook with baking soda. Baking soda deepens flavors and enhances the caramelization of sugars, which will accentuate the pumpkin’s essence. bit.ly/3sFwLq1

Inspired by the signature dots of Yayoi Kusama, our head chef @fjmigoya designed a work of art using red sauce on a thin-crust pizza. #ModernistCuisine #YaoiKusama

The calzone is a pizza turnover. The dough is folded over the toppings, sealed, and baked. In Naples, if you deep fry the pizza turnover instead, it’s called a pizza fritta. We tried to find out why, and ultimately our friends say “because it is”. Regardless, both are delicious.

It took 18 months of painstaking work to develop a camera capable of capturing such incredible detail. Why go to such great lengths? Well, when you see the rest of Nathan Myhrvold's photos, you'll know why. ❄️ bit.ly/3D9gP42.

Pizza fritta is a Neapolitan specialty and is virtually unheard of in the United States. The reason why this fantastic-tasting item is so rarely made outside Naples is a mystery that we have been unable to unravel.

This #pizza, known as the tennis racket, is a creation that crosses a calzone with a pizza – as if you were folding over the dough and stopped halfway. You can learn more about this interesting pizza in Modernist Pizza: Volume 1 on page 123. Have you ever tried one before?

Recipes can preserve a family’s legacy as they are passed down from generation to generation. We really enjoyed this story of a father’s spanakopita recipe that crossed three continents. n.pr/3Ey60el #Recipe #Travel

A father's recipe that crossed three continents

Papa's recipe traveled over generations from Greece to Egypt and back again. It will never mean the same thing to the people who randomly find it online, but it will still be delicious.

#NewYorkPizzas are typically large and can be assembled and then loaded onto the peel. If you are assembling on the peel, it's important to work quickly so that the dough doesn't stick, especially if you have a perforated peel.

These tomato seeds, shown here ultra-close-up, belong to a San Marzano tomato, which is beloved by a great number of pizzaioli in Naples, as well as other parts of the world. #FoodFacts #FoodPhotography

Manipulating the #pizza while it bakes in a wood-fired or gas-fired pizza oven is one of the hardest skills to master. A Neapolitan pizza needs frequent spinning so that it won't burn on one side. The more you spin it once it starts to brown, the more evenly the pizza will bake.

#Parbaking involves #BakingBread until it’s about 90% done, allowing it to cool, then finishing the baking later. The initial baking period is enough to deactivate the yeasts and enzymes and set the structure of the crust and crumb but not enough to fully brown the crust.

The #MaillardReaction creates brown pigments in cooked meat by rearranging amino acids and certain simple sugars, which then arrange themselves in rings and collections of rings that reflect light in such a way as to give the meat a brown color. #FoodScience

Thanks to our endless fascination with ovens, we are impressed with Chef Angelique Schmeinck (@smaakvrienden), who cooks meals with the heat of her hot air balloon and then serves those meals high in the sky. Learn about her interesting restaurant here. bit.ly/3QGaNNp
