What's the Best Wine for Cooking?

Cook with wine you'd actually drink. Dry whites for chicken and seafood, dry reds for braises and stews — and never sweet.

Both are excellent. The one you should grab depends entirely on what you're cooking — and once you know why, you'll never hesitate.

Restaurant sauces taste different because they're built differently. Layer flavor at every step and the result takes care of itself.

Most people use it for convenience and miss what it's actually best at — turning tough cuts into something extraordinary in a fraction of the time.

Dry chicken is one of the most common kitchen disappointments — and one of the most fixable. Here's what actually works.

The potato trick is a myth. Here's what actually works — dilute, add acid, or add fat. One of those three will fix almost anything.
