The cookout essential. Three ways to cook a hot dog at home, plus every regional topping worth knowing: Chicago style, New York style, and the chili dog.
French Toast
Pain perdu — lost bread — is how the French turned yesterday's stale loaf into something worth making on purpose. Thick-cut bread, a simple egg custard, and a medium-hot pan are all it takes.
Scrambled Eggs
The French method for scrambled eggs: low heat, constant movement, pulled from the pan before they look done. Same eggs. Completely different result — silky, custardy, nothing like what most people make.

American pancakes are deceptively simple and surprisingly easy to ruin. The technique is counterintuitive: the less you mix the batter, the better the pancakes.
Torrejas
Torrejas are Spain's version of pain perdu — stale bread soaked in spiced milk, dipped in egg, fried in olive oil, and finished with honey. They've been made across Spain for Semana Santa for centuries.
