to throw open the windows, unpack those
spring clothes…and break out the rosé!
These days, wine lovers everywhere are thinking
pink: Sales of rosé jumped 27 percent at bars and
restaurants in one year, according to an industry
report. Katie Lee Biegel, cohost of The Kitchen and
cofounder of the wine company Kind of Wild, is a
huge fan: “Rosé has that carefree, fun feeling, like
you’re playing hooky from school!” she says. She
pairs it with savory-sweet snacks—dates stuffed
with blue cheese or fig jam crostini—and she loves
serving rosé with seafood too, like her lobster
panzanella. Try the recipe yourself, and whip up

This Southern classic
never goes out of style.
y ou can’t talk about Southern food without

mentioning pimento cheese. The beloved
spread, affectionately called Carolina caviar
and the pâté of the South, is a combination of
cheddar cheese, pimentos and mayonnaise, but
beyond the basic ingredients, no one can agree on
exactly how it should be made. Fans stand divided
on Hellmann’s mayo versus Duke’s, coarsely
shredded cheese versus finely grated and other
details. Families closely guard their recipes,
and so does the Masters golf tournament in
Augusta, GA, where pimento cheese sandwiches
have been a favorite since the 1950s. You can
try Food Network Kitchen’s recipe though—it
isn’t a secret at all! —Kelsey Hurwitz
PIMENTO CHEESE
ACTIVE: 10 min l TOTAL: 10 min l MAKES: about 2 cups
4 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature

⅓ cup mayonnaise
½ teaspoon onion powder
⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper, plus more to taste
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
8 ounces sharp or extra-sharp cheddar cheese, grated
1 4-ounce jar diced pimentos, drained
Crackers and/or crudités, for serving
1. Combine the cream cheese, mayonnaise, onion powder,

cayenne, a pinch of salt and a few grinds of black pepper
in a medium bowl. Stir well to combine.
2. Mix in the cheddar and pimentos until well combined;
season with more salt and black pepper, if needed.
Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Questions,
Anyone?
Q What is a pimento anyway?

A Pimentos, also spelled pimientos
(“peppers” in Spanish), are small,
red, heart-shaped peppers. They’re
generally mild and slightly sweet.
Q How did pimentos make their

way into cheese?
A In the late 1800s, farmers in
upstate New York started making
a soft cheese that eventually evolved
into cream cheese. Around the
Freshly same time, the US began importing
grated cheddar pimentos from Spain. In 1908,
works best for Good Housekeeping magazine
pimento cheese! published a recipe for a sandwich
made with cream cheese and
pimentos, and the idea took off.
Q Why is pimento cheese so

popular in the South?
A Pimentos imported from Spain
were pricey back in the day, so
farmers in Griffin, GA, figured out
how to grow their own. By 1938,
they were producing 10 million
cans a year, and the state earned
the title Pimento Capital of the
World. Eugenia Duke, founder
of the Southern mayonnaise brand
Duke’s, promoted pimento cheese
to boost mayo sales.

contestants had to make wedding cakes, and Luke decided
on a three-tier olive oil cake with whipped ricotta filling.
But once Luke popped the layers into the oven, he had

right amount of sugar,” he says, “and I decided to bake a
second batch just in case!” His original one was perfectly
delicious, and Luke got his own happily ever after: the

Let’s hear it for…COCONUT MILK

This dairy-free milk is a staple in our test kitchen: It’s extra creamy
and rich, and it’s great for both sweet and savory dishes, like the
curry on page 83. Be sure to shake the can well before opening;
the fat naturally separates and rises to the top. And go easy on the
