We're all about taking shortcuts when it comes to weeknight cooking, but there's no way around using tamarind in pad Thai. The dish is simply a shadow of its former self without it, so look for tamarind paste or concentrate at Asian markets. Once you've got the base down, though, Pad Thai is a great way to use up leftover protein like cooked shrimp or shredded rotisserie chicken (hint: just toss them in with the noodles).

Bon Appétit Test Kitchen manager, Brad Leone, is back for episode 21 of "It's Alive," and this time he's giving you his top ten fermentation tips. Brad discusses his favorite equipment, best practices, and addresses some common concerns in the wild world of fermentation.
The shape of pastry tip you use for this churros recipe is very important. If the tip isn’t closed, or rounded off, the churros may break as you’re frying them (we used size 845 tips). Keep that in mind if you’re using a different size—the cook times may vary. The sugar matters, too. Conventional granulated is too fine and raw sugar is too coarse—it won't stick to the churros.
Bon Appétit Test Kitchen manager, Brad Leone, is back for episode 25 of “It’s Alive,” and this time he’s making salt. Brad visits Ben Jacobsen, of Jacobsen Salt Co.
