I appreciate the comments and I agree definitely on the dairy. But I've read on more than one occasion about botulism concerns with garlic in oil. I think the vinegar *might* help, but either way, I don't keep any prepared food as long as a week. You might think I'm crazy, but a Serve-Safe class in culinary school made me realize that no food is worth the risk! Tip for Better Salads: Make Big Jars of Homemade Dressing |

I have a question about the comment that most dressings will last 'a few weeks'. Most of the salad dressing recipes that I have say they are safe to use for a week, tops. Any ideas why? My only guess is the garlic... Tip for Better Salads: Make Big Jars of Homemade Dressing |

The only potlucks we host are our large (13- 16 people) family holiday dinners. My sisters are all great cooks so typically the host provides the main dish + drinks and the rest of us (plus our divorced parents, but that's another topic!) bring the rest. It works out well, thankfully. What's Your Potluck Style? Reader Survey |

Music is definitely an essential part of all my parties - dinner or otherwise. We've had a Valentine's Day dinner party for the past 5+ years and that playlist is pretty set. I just add new music as I find it. We also have a set 'party music' playlist, that I also update as needed or as the mood strikes. But for regular dinner parties, we tend to play a mix of jazz cds (mostly mid-tempo) throughout the entire evening. I don't want anything that might compete with good conversation!

I tried adding flaxseed to my granola to give it a nutritional boost - and actually liked the nutty flavor. But my food scientist sister pooh-poohed the nutritional benefits. According to her studies, our bodies better process the omega-3s from actual foods, like salmon. The Pleasures of Chia Seeds & Flax Seeds: Which Do You Eat More Frequently? |

I make my granola using that same recipe (soo good!) and my trick is stir it like normal during the bulk of the baking time, but hold off as it approaches the level of darkness/done-ness (?) you like. Then, when you pull it out of the oven, let it cool in the same baking sheet. Remember to line the baking sheet beforehand with parchment or a silpat, however, or it will stick to the pan - not good!

My Mom doesn't cook much anymore, but my sisters and I insist that she brings her infamous sweet potatoes (with the marshmallows on top!) every Thanksgiving. Thankfully they don't require cream of anything. Campbell's Cream of Mushroom Soup: As Bad (or As Good) As We Remember? |

Yay! Love ATK - the show, the magazines, the books and the website. I actually interviewed with them years ago (2005?) and they were a really great group. I cooked in the small kitchen as a part of the interview and it was an incredible experience. A Tour of America's Test Kitchen Professional Kitchen Tour |

I asked Dorie Greenspan a question thru twitter and she was really helpful. But I also asked Nick Malgieri a question on twitter and I'm still waiting for a reply. I just tried to follow up on his site - fingers crossed I'll get a response one of these days! Got a Question About a Recipe? Never Hesitate to Contact the Author! |
