I’ve never seen them on a menu anywhere, have you? Too bad, too, as they are truly delicious and so easy to make. How To Make Stewed Tomatoes All you do is cook peeled, chopped tomatoes on the stovetop with some butter, a little sugar, salt and pepper, and herbs (I like to use basil) until the tomatoes completely fall apart and the flavors have had a chance to meld....
STICKY DATE PUDDING – A CHILDHOOD FAVOURITE Who else has childhood memories of Sara Lee frozen Sticky Date Pudding?? It is the only store bought dessert my mother ever bought – and only on special occasions. And as much as I loved it, my one gripe was always that there was not enough Butterscotch Sauce to go around. Never fear. You won’t have that problem with this recipe! 😂 I know this recipe is called Sticky Toffee Pudding by most of the world – other than Australia and New Zealand it seems....

Is there a difference between bell peppers? Which colors should I use? While all the colors of the bell peppers can come from the same plant, there are differences. The biggest difference is the taste and nutrition between colors. Red peppers are the sweetest, followed by orange then yellow, then ending on green. All the bell peppers have similar mild heat. Any color of bell pepper can be used for stuffed bell peppers....

If it’s on a menu at a restaurant, I’ll probably order it. I make it at home way more often than I probably should, considering the fact that my kitchen doesn’t have a hood and it makes the apartment smell like a fast food joint. I even made sure that a summer cross-country road trip I took a few years ago went through the southern part of the US, even though it was crazy hot ....

“Having a stand mixer is like having an extra pair of hands,” says Jenna Helwig, personal chef and author of the cookbook “Bare Minimum Dinners.” “When baking, you can get twice as much done. Whisk together the dry ingredients for a cake by hand while the mixer creams butter and sugar. Prep loaf pans while the mixer kneads bread dough.” Although the mixers are large, Helwig recommends clearing space on your countertop instead of stowing away your KitchenAid stand mixer in a cabinet....

Natural gas grills are a popular choice for all, especially for their overall ease of use. Because natural gas grills can be hooked up to an existing natural gas line at your home (rather than requiring tanks that need to be changed), “convenience will always be a huge advantage to owning a natural gas grill," says Paul Sidoriak, cookbook author and grilling expert of Grilling Montana. “Not having to mess around with changing or filling propane bottles is a luxury, and the reliability of natural gas is hard to beat....
When inspired, I use yet another rolling pin to make a beautiful puff pastry, remembering the first time I made it from scratch. I lived on a vintage sailboat with a tiny galley kitchen, testing recipes for a new husband who loved to eat. On the top of an icebox cover, I rolled the dough out by hand, layering it with sweet butter, leaning into it, but not too much, as the dough formed....
Whetstones come in a variety of materials from oil stone to diamond stone to water stones to ceramic stones. They also have a range of grit levels from coarse at the lower end to fine at the high end. Generally, you want a coarse and fine grit, whether that comes in separate stones or a two-sided option. Whatever choice you make, a whetstone is a solid investment for the best knife care—they allow ultimate control over the angle and refinement of your blade....

You know you’re getting old when you get excited by a good Yorkshire pudding rise. But come on - how lovely does that look! It could probably serve 6, but I want a whole corner to myself, and so does everyone else in the family, so let’s stick to a calorific 4-person toad in the hole. What is toad in the hole? It’s basically just a giant Yorkshire pudding with sausages cooked into it....
Most of the recipes in the book look ridiculously complicated, taking hours of preparation and needing ingredients that one might have difficulty finding even at Whole Foods. This one however, is simply turnips, potatoes, onions, stock, and butter. Unassuming, but surprisingly and exceptionally good, especially considering that the main ingredient is turnips. Don’t get me wrong, I love turnips. I have found however that most people don’t. There’s something about the blend of flavors in this soup that take the edge off of the bitter turnip flavor and produces a thick and creamy soup, yet without any cream....
