I got the pampered chef version of the slap chop for Christmas and I can't bring myself to use it. I get some real satisfaction out of chopping vegetables (and the like) myself. It's a skill that I...

I love to add granola to my fruit smoothies. I'm very simple using strawberries and bananas, Greek yogurt, soy milk, agave nectar and at the very end I add some Back to Nature whole grain granola. ...

How has no one mentioned tetrazzini? Giada's Chicken Tetrazzini Recipe is to die for. I make several at a time and freeze. The first time I made this I imbibed a glass of wine too many and botched ...

I bought this little sucker to keep in my freezer for making whipped cream. It attaches to the pro KitchenAid mixer and is also perfect for whipping egg whites (I do not freeze the bowl for this).

I could kill my mother for this but when we were young and sick she'd put a cube of beef bullion in a coffee mug of hot water, stir until dissolved and we'd happily drink it up. It's now my default...

keltrue- Enameled cast iron does not need to be heated dry or seasoned, one of the many advantages to the enamel coating. Try to call Le Creuset, they are phenomenal at replacing defective products...

I forgot to mention that Le Creuset sells replacement stainless steel knobs that are oven proof up to 500 degrees. Not sure what the rest of these Dutch/French ovens can handle with the factory kno...

Le Creuset has discontinued the slate color (pictured first) sold exclusively at Williams-Sonoma. You can still get it on the site but I found it impossible to find it at any of the Dallas area sto...

I'd kill to cook in this kitchen, it's one that you can be proud of dirtying up and then cleaning night after night. It would never get old for me!!

Balsamic marinade or a thicker balsamic dressing is amazing with artichoke leaves.

Neiman Marcos has the most amazing popovers and strawberry butter! I'm afraid to try my own becuase I just don't think it can be beat!

I agree completely! I made this for my mother and grandmother for Mother's Day and I could tell that I'd regret the amount of sugar included in the recipe. The raspberries I used were pretty tart s...

In the south this is customary, especially with the elderly population. I've seen countless jars of bacon fat that lives on the counter or under the sink. I can't quite wrap my head around keeping ...

I'm surprised to see that only one person has mentioned wine. It's a must in my kitchen, both for the cooking and for the cook. If I don't have a glass of wine in my hand, I can tell you that my he...

Lately I've been keeping mine in a roll since I've been cooking at my families houses but usually at home I store my knives in a design almost exactly like this but a little less wide.

Oh and I definitely spread both slices of bread with pesto before toasting... it goes a long way, especially if you have fresh mozzarella.

Anytime I have cheese (literally... ANY cheese) that I fear will turn I'll throw it all between some toast with sliced tomatoes, whip up some tomato soup and serve it in the adorable soup/sandwich ...

Boiled, hand mashed, roasted garlic and the "light" boursin cheese. When I have home made herb butter on hand I will add it as well. Can't wait for the next family holiday to make this delightful s...

I bought these same hooks at Francesca's in Fort Worth a few years ago. I installed them by my front door to hold dog leashes, scarves and handbags. Have been looking for them ever since to stock u...
