I almost always serve food family-style when I'm cooking for friends or my own family, but when my in-laws come over I invariably plate it. I think it's because they always do it that way at their ...
This is one unitasker that I love - I think the perfect circular eggs are very appealing, and they look so neat and tidy when I make egg on toast. I always make such a mess when I poach eggs the ol...
I love when people come in and tell me that what I'm cooking smells wonderful, when all I've done so far is saute onions! This also works with basmati rice.
That looks like just my kind of recipe. I love making polenta in the double boiler - it's easy, and much less stirring than in a regular pot. Lynne Rosetto Kaspar describes the method in detail in ...
Sorry about your lousy side-by-side fridge, Oven Mitzie! After years of miniature apartment appliances, the first thing I wanted when I got my own home was a bottom-freezer model with NO icemaker (...
My boyfriend's sister manages Hugo's current restaurant, Starry Night Cafe (also in VT). The food is amazing, so I'd love to have the cookbook to find out some of his secrets! :)
My sp...
Those grocery budget tips - like stretching out a small amount of meat with beans and grains, or eating produce in season - sound pretty reasonable. So many articles tell you to start buying dried ...
That's great! I love the green paint on the planter box - it makes it look so cheerful while you're waiting for the real greens to come up.
I was worried when I saw the title that it ...
Our neighbors used reclaimed steel roofing material as part of the cladding of their house, along with painted vertical shiplap pine (same as we used, although ours was rougher). They wanted it rus...
The edamame in pods are great - they make a great healthy snack for movie nights. I sprinkle them with sea salt and shichimi togarishi (Japanese 7-spice powder... chili powder would work as well).
They were just talking about this in the latest Splendid Table radio show, doing a scientific analysis of the flavor of Parmagiano Reggiano. I love food science info like that!
Thanks for the report, Shayna! I also cook meat pretty infrequently at home, and when I do it's usually for company so I want to get it right. ;) It's great to get a "second opinion" on those recipes!
The migraine diet's helping to reduce her headaches, but it's pretty restrictive: no alcohol, caffeine, msg, refined white sugar, chocolate, onions, tomatoes, citrus, aged cheese, or flavored vineg...
Shayna, I have both those recipes bookmarked too! You'll have to let us know how they come out. My friend who's on the migraine diet is arriving tonight - I'm planning to make chicken thighs with s...

I have tomato paste, pesto, and anchovy paste in tubes. We also just bought 4 tubes of peanut butter... but those are for training the dog. ;)
