I LOVE duck but I rarely cook it. I do think of it for special occasions and I have had great success with Nigella's recipe for duck magret in Nigella Bites. A simple, succelent meal.

Thanks for helping to unravel the mysteries of miso. I just recently randomly purchased some yellow miso (unsure of which color would be best) and had amazing results using it in this chicken soup...

I wish I had seen this earlier. I just blogged about the Joy of Cooking pudding recipe, http://www....

I am familiar with Fit for Life because my dad was a big fan back in the 80's and he did manage to lose weight on it. I still can't get the image of the human nursing on a cow out of my mind but it...

I purchased the mesh ones over a year ago but I found that they didn't wash that well so I have hardly used them. Is there a secret to washing them
