Tucked away in my old cubicle-size kitchen station, recipe by recipe, I was taken inside the minds of hundreds of pro chefs and developers. These dishes below might not follow my nonna’s rules for Italian American cooking, but to me they still taste like home. I am just as likely to reach for gochujang as chile flakes when layering heat into marinara sauce for chicken parm. If it is your first time buying gochujang, Lucky Foods makes a 4-oz. Some can taste like mild roasted red peppers, while others will sear the taste buds right off your tongue.
