"It pays to know your spices. Take regular inventory, smelling, tasting, and throwing out those that have gone stale and flat from age. Then get out of the spice rut and learn how to use spices intelligently, adventurously, and with a very personal flair." Make like our namesake this weekend and reassess your pantry, then bake James Beard's clove and cinnamon–packed spekulaas cookies. Recipe and more is through the link in our bio. And check out our highlights to grab tips from @judy.kim on how to roll out these cookies! (📷 and food styling: @judy.kim)

Bone broth is one of our favorite ways to make something delicious out of leftovers that just *maybe* have been sitting around too long. @rebeccaheartsfood roasted these beautiful beef bones with vegetable and herb scraps that she's been collecting for the past month, then added in some turmeric and plenty of garlic to make this broth. Show us how you're reducing food waste by tagging @beardfoundation and #wastenot and you could win a copy of our newest cookbook, “Waste Not: How to Get the Most from Your Food!” #wastenotwednesday (📷: @rebeccaheartsfood)

Callaloo, a type of mustard green, is a mainstay of Caribbean cuisine. At @chefkwill's restaurant @vitaldining, the Boot Camp alum serves a vegan callaloo dip that "has the consistency of spinach–artichoke dip, which makes it more appealing for the diners who are less familiar with Jamaican food. The flavors are slightly different, since we’re not using spinach, and instead of cream and cheese, we’re using coconut milk, which is a nod to Jamaican cuisine."

One of our 2019 America's Classics Award winners, Pho 79 🍜, can be credited with introducing the Orange County, CA community to Vietnamese food. Founded by Thọ Trần and Liễu Trần in 1982, it helped pave the way for southern California’s Little Saigon to become the dynamic hub of Vietnamese cuisine it is today, offering Americans the chance to eat bowls of slippery rice noodles in beefy broth, topped with steak, brisket, tripe, meatballs, or the restaurant's justifiably legendary oxtails. The next generation of the Trần family continues to operate the restaurant, as well as others in the area including Pho 101. The family’s story is as much about intrepid entrepreneurship and excellent cooking as it is about a community that rose from war and displacement to forever change American cuisine.
