caro's kitchen — wontons and veggies in curry broth

On Monday I hosted my first Substack live cooking class and many of you came! Thanks so much for tuning in, I had a blast. We cooked 2024’s most popular recipe: wontons and veggies in curry broth. It’s a crowd-pleasing 15-minute meal that — as you’ll hear about in the video — is endlessly riff-able and customizable.

There were lots of questions about the skillet I cooked with in the live — here’s that link, plus a few others!

• I was cooking with the Tramontina All-in-One ceramic nonstick skillet. I’ve talked about this a ton on Instagram, but maybe not as much here on Substack?! This is my absolute favorite pan. It’s oven safe (I actually never buy pans that can’t go in the oven) and huge — I cook and develop recipes in it all the time.

• Another pan that would be great here is a cast iron braiser. I have a 3.5 quart Le Creuset braiser, but I also have a ton of Staub cast iron pots and pans, and their braiser is on mega sale right now ($199 down from $330). I just ordered it for our cabin because it’s a pan that I use constantly for one-pot meals, sautés, etc.

• I was not cooking with a knife that I really recommend (it just happened to be the sharpest right now) but here is the MadeIn knife that I referenced and do highly recommend.

• And the honing rod (knife sharpening tool) I demoed (if you’ve never sharpened your knife, you need it!).

• Here’s the cutting board I keep on my kitchen counter at all times.

• Finally, I tried to recall the name of this recipe but couldn’t (and now I see why, it’s a mouthful, lol): sheet-pan honey-roasted chicken, carrots, and brussels sprouts with tahini yogurt

Thanks again for tuning in — stay tuned for more!!
