I have schoolwork that I should be doing. Of course, instead, I baked an apple tart with candied ginger, and I'm making a variety of mezze for dinner tonight, including carrot and beet salad, (bake...

I haven't tried Rose's recipe, but once I tried Alice Waters' lemon curd recipe, I knew that I was never, ever going to go back to making lemon bars by simply mixing up the eggs and lemon and a tot...

Just my two cents' worth - I'm a student. I don't have a lot of spare money, and most of my classmates are in the same boat. I think that for those of us without much money, it often feels awkward ...

My parents are remodeling their kitchen with all Ikea cabinetry, and while it's still in progress, I think they're really happy with the results so far (all the cabinets are in, but they haven't go...

Oh my. That looks fantastic and it sounds even better.

I just tried out this recipe for almond-vanilla rice pudding , which is delicious, and I plan to make noodles with long b...

I got Vegan Soul Kitchen and Cradle of Flavour for Christmas, and I plan to cook from both of them as much as possible. I want to try some dishes with tempeh, because although I've

Okay, I'm sorry in advance - but just 'cause nobody has linked to this video when explaining the term " om nom nom ." Personally...

The "what should I drink" flowchart (which personally I thought was pretty funny) also asks "Are you Bob or Doug McKenzie ?" Somehow ...

I don't often use wheat germ either, but when I do it's generally in muffins or granola or baked into bread (even if I'm already using whole wheat flour, I like the added texture of the wheat germ)...

Aside from apparently not having a good spot for my alarm clock (which could always go somewhere else anyhow, thus preventing the hit-snooze-10-times problem), that first picture is perfect ....

Ditto on using the pastry blender for all my mashing needs. Plus, I make a lot of pastry, don't have a food processor, and find I get way better results with my pastry blender than my hands or a fo...

@jamina1: When I was about 12, a friend and I decided to make jello, and we grabbed a pyrex bowl and stuck it on the stove top to boil. Fortunately, we were irresponsible cooks and left the kitchen...

Cider vinegar is my go-to for dressings, as well as pickles and chutneys. I definitely use it more than any other kind of vinegar. (And I use vinegar a lot ).

My favourite whipping method - although not one I use anymore, now that my old (and deceased) hand mixer has been replaced by a KitchenAid - involved a drill. After the death of the hand mixer but ...

We're also pie-crust cookie makers in my family, but my Mom always rolls out the remaining crust, spreads the butter, sprinkles on the cinnamon and sugar, and then rolls it up into a spiral and sli...

Hi Victoria: my first apartment had a kitchen almost as badly laid out and without space for a kitchen island inside the kitchen and no way to move any of the appliances. I know it's not the ideal ...

Shirley - in the five years since I moved out of my parents house, I went from owning a couple of boxes worth of books to needing three floor-to-ceiling bookshelves. (I hasten to add that I'm a com...

I really don't care about the name; that's marketing for you. It just doesn't look like a terribly useful device; I've never felt the need for an extra attachment to facilitate pouring from a skill...

gingergirl: I like the lotion idea too - but if you don't keep it in the original container, it's nice to make sure that it's obvious what is lotion and what is soap. (My first roommate had identic...
