Naan
Naan (Indian Leavened Flatbread)

Unlike some other staple Indian breads, which are unleavened and crafted from durum wheat flour, or atta, fluffy naan is made with all-purpose flour and yeast. Traditionally, the dough is slapped against the chimney wall of a clay tandoor oven and baked over wood fires, but many home cooks make it on the stovetop. It is best savored hot and slathered with ghee. See the recipe for Naan (Indian Leavened Flatbread) »

Spaghetti with Oven-Roasted Tomatoes and Caramelized Fennel
Spaghetti with Oven-Roasted Tomatoes and Caramelized Fennel

This recipe was shared with us by a New York City-based opera singer and creative home cook. We like to serve this pasta topped with a little shaved bottarga, the dried salted roe of tuna or gray mullet; a sprinkle adds a briny, salty note that beautifully offsets sweet, oven roasted plum tomatoes.
