Chefs share which underused ingredients you should try at home

 |  One Comment  |  Leave Comment
If you're like me, you have a pantry brimming with boxes and bags of unusual ingredients that you picked up on a whim at a farmers' market or specialty shop. Despite having so many unique items to use, I frequently wind up skipping over those because I am not familiar with how to use them. It would be nice to… read more

Leftover Halloween candy recipes

Over 500 kids trick-or-treated through my neighborhood this evening, so my stash of leftover Halloween candy is mightly slim this year. If you have any remaining from tonight's festivities, or if your kid has too much to eat by him- or herself, you might be wondering what you're going to do with it all.

Indian cooks embrace the Instant Pot

October 10, 2018 by
 |  Leave Comment
While Instant Pots and their clones have become a phenomenon in the US, Canada, and beyond, most people who have purchased one were not already owners of a stovetop pressure cooker. Or perhaps they had one, but rarely used it because it was intimidating (I will include myself in the latter category). Stovetop pressure cooker recipes were just not that… read more

Everything you need to know about molasses

Nothing can replicate the rich, complex flavor of molasses. It's essential to gingerbread and, as a component of brown sugar, adds its subtle bitter and roasted caramel notes to many baked goods. There are several types of molasses available so it can be confusing to know which one is right for which recipe, but Southern Living Magazine sets us straight… read more

While I find it exciting to challenge myself by trying new recipes, sometimes I just want the old 'tried and true' dishes. Whether it's because I am tired at the end of the day, I don't feel well, or because something reminds me of a favorite treat, I will defer to a classic recipe over a novel one.  Classics have… read more

You might just flip for these pancakes

Pancakes have been a breakfast staple for centuries. Over the years regional specialties emerged, but restaurants have tended to go for the standard buttermilk pancake topped with syrup or fruit. As Bon Appétit reports, today restaurants are venturing into new territory by making pancakes with diverse ingredients such as alternative grains, coffee flour, and sourdough.  Chef Jason Wilson, of The Lakehouse in Bellevue,… read more

Most of us have a jar of mayonnaise in the refrigerator, just waiting to be slathered on a sandwich. That's far from the only use for the condiment, however, as Food & Wine explains. They have five chef-recommended ways to make the most of mayo. Recent articles have predicted the end of mayonnaise (allegedly millenials don't like it), but chef… read more

In praise of the potato

For hundreds of years, potatoes have fed much of the world.

Things have been hot in the northern hemisphere as much of the US and the UK are in the throes of a heatwave.
