Karen Akunowiscz, chef/owner of Boston's Fox & the Knife and Bar Volpe, makes her version of osso buco, a classic braised Italian meal. Karen uses lamb shank for her osso buco and includes increased harissa in her braise for an unique flavor, and makes an abundant saffron risotto and an intense herb gremolata spiked with ginger.

Lamb Shank Osso Buco with Karen Akunowicz
Love her voice, I could hear her talk for hours.
Mantap baget guys
Was about to say the same thing
She sounds like a news reporter.
Absolute beast on Top Chef. Gotta make a trip out to her restaurants. You can tell she cooks with love
Her voice has charms. I hope I can try this recipe using beef shank.
Thats the original recipe, veal shank
Such a lovely chef. I see her as being a wonderful patient mentor.
@Daniel Hollingsworth Never know. Chefs nowadays aren’t like the ones that I worked under when making my bones. They’re nice to their staff and almost never throw plates or even food at their cooks.
Sounds crazy, I know, but I’ve seen it. The industry has lost some of its rigor and discipline.
Definitely trying this recipe next week. I’ll report back.
give her a show immediately
What a pleasant voice :D. Also YES MOAR LAMB !
This recipe looks great and rather simple to make at home. Going to have to try this sometime
Is this the dish Jan made in the Dinner Party episode of the Office?
Yes, lol. I was just thinking that 😭
what a cool dish. can’t wait to make it!
She’s awesome! Harissa sounds like a great addition.
Her vocal delivery is quite good.
Osso buco refers to the cut of the meat as much as the recipe. She made lamb shanks. They look great, no need to try to be fancy in the wording for the sake of it…
Oh she was on top chef? Go figure…
She’s very cool I love her. Also love this series – the fact that all the recipes are tried and tested and are famous dishes at famous restaurants lets you know it’s a damn good recipe
She’s got a great radio/podcast voice.
She has a voice for media for real
Same energy as Giada but with the added bonus of badass energy. Probably be pretty cool to have a couple drinks and a good conversation with Karen…
Edited to add that you’re all kinds of welcome to cook for my wife, my son and myself anytime……as long as you let us reciprocate 😛
I looove her voice.
I love Karen – so thrilled to see her making something so delicious!
I like that she adds a “mediterranean touch” to what already is mediterranean.
