Current Cravings
Question: I always see recipes (like your mac and cheese balls) call for panko bread crumbs. I have generic traditional style. Is there really a difference?
Chrissy: Panko crumbs are Japanese bread flakes, more light and airy and made with dried crustless bread, meaning they yield crispier results sometimes. But you can always swap in regular crumbs! 
Question: For the trifle recipe,how do u make the crumbled cake?
Chrissy: Just take any white cake you have on hand and go to town with your hands!
Question: Should I use olive oil if I’m baking salmon on the cravings sheet pan even though it’s nonstick?
Chrissy: A tiny slick of oil never hurts! Especially if using skin-on salmon, which can stick to cooking surfaces. These pans are so slick and slidy, though, I do think you’d be okay without, since salmon contains a healthy amount of oil.
Question: Do you have a preferred brand of miso and sambol oelek for your spicy noodles?
Chrissy: For miso, Master is great and available nationwide, and Huy Fong makes the sambal oelek with the gold label you see everywhere! But I am also a big fan of going to an Asian market and asking the owners/workers – they’re the pros!
Question: Curious – can a hand immersion blender be used instead of a regular stand blender?
Chrissy: It depends on the recipe! Usually, to blend soups or dressings, yes!
Question: Can I use something other than sour cream or yogurt for the feta dip?
Chrissy: You can use ricotta cheese or Greek yogurt!
Question: Is it possible to use instant yeast instead of active dry yeast in the Skillet Flatbread recipe (in Hungry for More)? And if so, what are the recommended modifications to the recipe? Thank you! Love your work!
Chrissy: Yes! Though technically you don’t need to “bloom” instant yeast, you can still proceed with the same recipe and it should work using instant yeast. Alternatively, you could just combine the yeast with the flour and other dry ingredients, then add the water and proceed.
