If it helps at all, my experience with Tamasin Day-Lewis is that her recipes never taste as good as they look. I've been downsizing, trying to get rid of books that I really just don't...

Based on my experience in London, I wouldn't be worried about someone stealing them so much as urinating in them.

You must have better 99/dollar stores than I've found here. Most of them carry a very limited supply of food, and in my opinion, very little of it is a bargain compared to the regular grocery or W...

Is that the final dish? Isn't gazpacho soup?

I used to have a cast iron griddle in my oven for similar use as a baking stone. It did a great job, plus I could take it on the stovetop and flip it to the grill side for cooking other things. ...

Another student here (law). My fridge is way too full right now, as I have gone crazy with the farmer's market (everything looks so gorgeous ; I cannot resist). I've got arugula, frisee, sorrel,...

Stephanie didn't go. And I don't get it with the chefs and dessert. After 3 seasons, they should know better than to show up without at least 1 or 2 desserts down solid. And even if ...

Bokeh, there's a recipe in Vegetable Love that basically sautes them with olive oil, a little stock/water and puree for a pasta sauce.

Yeah, no bikes in the kitchen. I know there's some controversy on AT about whether or not folks are overly scared of germs (the coffee pot in the bathroom debate), but even if he only uses the fro...

I've never had so much wine--nor seen someone who had so much wine--that holding on to the glass became a problem. Even if there is a use to them, as STLcolleen suggests, they are stil...

Check out their bag dryer thingy:
