Hal Prince Dead: Towering Broadway Director’s Work Included ‘Phantom of the Opera,’ ‘Cabaret’

NEW YORK —
Harold Prince, a Broadway director and producer who pushed the boundaries of musical theater with such groundbreaking shows as “The Phantom of the Opera,” “Cabaret,” “Company” and “Sweeney Todd” and won a staggering 21 Tony Awards, has died. Prince was 91.
Prince’s publicist, Rick Miramontez, said Prince died Wednesday after a brief illness in Reykjavik, Iceland.
Prince was known for his fluid, cinematic director’s touch and was unpredictable and uncompromising in his choice of stage material. He often picked challenging, offbeat subjects to musicalize, such as the murderous, knife-wielding barber who baked his victims in pies in “Sweeney Todd” or the 19th century opening of Japan to the West in “Pacific Overtures.”

How to prepare Chicken Miso Meatballs in 3 easy steps

Chicken Miso Meatballs Ground chicken bosom meat is genuinely lean, so milk is added to this formula to keep them damp and delicate.  As the meatballs prepare, the miso caramelizes into exquisite chomps of sweet-pungent umami.  Disintegrated Ritz wafers add lavishness and make a more succulent meatball (however plain, dry bread pieces will likewise work). To make the Ritz morsels, place the wafers in a resealable plastic pack and delicately squash them with the rear of a wooden spoon or estimating cup.  These additionally make a scrumptious hors d'oeuvre: Simply fold the blend into more modest 1-inch balls. For a fast plunging sauce, join 2 sections soy sauce to 1 section refined white vinegar, and add cut scallions, or red-pepper pieces, assuming you like hotness. INGREDIENTS  ¼   cup whole milk 3   tablespoons sweet white miso 1   tablespoon minced garlic 1   teaspoons kosher salt ¾   teaspoon black pepper ½   cup finely crushed Ritz c...

How to prepare Menemen

 Menemen (Turkish Scrambled Eggs With Tomato) Time :25 minutes Menemen, made from eggs, tomatoes, peppers and sometimes onions, is a distinctly Turkish breakfast comfort food. Although a year-round dish, it is especially pleasing in the summer, with really ripe tomatoes from the garden or farmer’s market. Be creative with this dish: Add shallots, chiles, fresh herbs or Aleppo pepper, or treat it as purists do, with only tomatoes and eggs. Cook slowly, stirring infrequently, until the eggs form billowy puffs. You can serve topped with feta cheese or lamb sausage, with any warm flatbread on the side. INGREDIENTS Yield : 4 servings 4tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 1medium white onion (about 10 ounces), peeled and diced ½teaspoon dried oregano, plus more as needed ¼teaspoon Aleppo pepper, plus more as needed Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper 1mild but flavorful long green pepper (such as Turkish carliston, Hungarian banana or Anaheim), stemmed, halved lengthwise, seeded, ...

Cakes you should taste before the end of the year

Chocolate and Almond Tiger Cake This almond cake depends on lenders, the little, typically ingot-formed cakes originally made in Paris in the last part of the 1880s. The baked good gourmet specialist Lasne made and named them for his stockbroker clients, keeping them simple and slick to eat on the run - piece of cake. Made with egg whites, ground nuts and a great deal of dissolved margarine, the formula is enticingly riffable. My beloved take is the tigré, a round, chocolate-dotted cake finished off with a spot of ganache. Years prior, I misread the name, and I've called them tiger cakes from that point forward. My play on the tiger is a huge cake, somewhat less rich than the first, go through with cleaved chocolate and covered with enough ganache to leave obvious smircesh. Stockbrokers be careful. Recipes  5 tablespoons/70 grams unsalted butter, plus more for the pan ½ cup/65 grams all-purpose flour, plus more for the pan ¾ cup/150 grams granulated sugar ½ teaspoon baking powder ¼...

How to prepare Greek Chicken With Cucumber-Feta Salad

Greek Chicken With Cucumber-Feta Salad TIME : 30 Minutes  With chicken souvlaki, Greek salad, and tzatziki, this dinner has the flavors of a Greek combination plate but is simplified for the home cook. Boneless chicken thighs are covered with herby, garlicky yogurt before being seared until the insides are soft and the outsides are crusty and caramelized. To make tomatoes and cucumbers taste their most vibrant, extra yogurt is added after they have had time to drain with salt. Feel free to add other components of Greek salad or tzatziki, such as romaine lettuce, bell peppers, mint or dill, toasted walnuts or thinly sliced red onion, in addition to feta and olives, which lend saline bits to the creamy, crunchy salad. Eat with toasted pita or lemon potatoes. INGREDIENTS Yield: 4 servings 1½cups plain Greek yogurt 3garlic cloves, finely grated Kosher salt (Diamond Crystal) Black pepper 1teaspoon dried oregano or mint 2pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs, patted dry 1½pounds cucum...
