ANECDOTE

Editor Enamored With Carla's Grilling Chapter

  • Francis reveals she edited Carla Lalli Music's cookbook and became obsessed with the grilling chapter during the process.
  • Photos of Carla's backyard with a wood-burning oven and grill inspired envy and curiosity about her summer cooking life.
ADVICE

Make Indoor Barbecue Ribs Ahead

  • Try steaming ribs in a low water pot with a dry rub, then reduce the cooking liquid into a glaze and finish over medium-high heat for caramelization.
  • Make ribs a day ahead: pre-steam, save the liquid, and brush glaze while finishing on a hot grill.
ADVICE

Use An Induction Burner To Stay Cool

  • Use a portable induction burner in hot weather to keep your kitchen much cooler while boiling or cooking on a single-burner setup.
  • Get an inexpensive model so you can cook pasta and other hot dishes without heating your whole kitchen.
