Farideh is back in her family’s home kitchen in Maryland and is making not one, but two versions of her beloved crab soup: a traditional, tomato-based Maryland crab soup, and a rich and indulgent cream of crab soup. Both recipes incorporate generous amounts of jumbo lump crab, and Farideh shouts out her big sister Amanda, who shares Farideh’s love of “half-and-half,” a combination of the two soups. Check out the recipes here:

The #KiaSorento is the second oldest running name in the Kia family and for 2021, the #Sorento is completely redesigned taking lots of design cues from its Telluride big brother. Under the hood, it features a choice of four new powertrains, including two electrified options with the new #SorentoHybrid and #SorentoPHEV. The new Kia Sorento should be at the very top of your shopping list if you’re looking for a 3-row family crossover.

Olia Hercules, chef and author of “Summer Kitchens: Recipes and Reminiscences from Every Corner of Ukraine,” is at home making potato cakes inspired by ones found near the border of Ukraine and Belarus. These potato cakes are uniquely leavened with the help of yeast, and are filled with a mixture of cannellini beans and feta cheese. Olia serves them with a simple garlic yogurt and a bit of chili paste. Check out the recipe here: https://www.vice.com/en/article/5dzxq3/potato-cakes-stuffed-with-bean-and-feta-paste-recipe

Every year around this time, I think about doing a gingerbread house video. I think about all the hours of prep, assembly, and final decorations; and after I think about all that for a few minutes, I quickly dismiss the idea, and move on to some other holiday-themed recipe, like these incredible gingerbread biscotti. Enjoy!
