Tom Colicchio shared some of his tips for cooking like a Top Chef and his favorite holiday tradition — the Feast of Seven Fishes. Although fish can be intimidating to home cooks, he shared some really easy and flavorful ways to prepare it. For example, the Bing Food & Drink app features Colicchio’s braised striped bass recipe, which is a great holiday dish. Braising is an easy way to keep your fish moist and flavorful, and you don’t have to worry about over- or undercooking it.

Restauranteur Tom Colicchio asserts that quality ingredients never go out of style because you can use very few of them and make incredibly flavorful meals. He explained how he shops locally because the faster the food gets from the farm to your table, the better it will taste. He likes how you can search for recipes by ingredient in the Bing Food & Drink app — you can go to the farmer’s market, find recipe inspiration and then create a menu based on the ingredients you have.
