A Beloved Comfort Food Made Vegan The version of green bean casserole I grew up with was the classic one that was printed on the Campbell’s cream of mushroom soup can label (did you know a Campbell’s employee created green bean casserole in the 1950s?), which called for just six ingredients: canned or fresh green beans, canned cream of mushroom soup, soy sauce, black pepper, milk, and canned French fried onions....
In the more tropical areas of Mexico and Central America, you’ll commonly find tamales wrapped in banana leaves or plantain leaves, which have their own unique and subtle flavor. If you’ve never made tamales before, it’s a pretty long and involved process, which is why the making of them is so often a social event. Several dozens are made at a time, with the help of many hands. Tamales freeze well, so it makes sense to make more than you can eat at the time....
What Is Victoria Sponge Cake? Let’s get one thing straight before we have arguments; there is no set-in-stone version of this cake! Technically, it is not even a true sponge cake in the classic French tradition since it contains butter, as well as baking soda for leavening. What you need to know is that it is a scrumptious and simple cake, easy to make and very satisfying as an afternoon snack with tea or as a light dessert....
A great, fresh Vietnamese noodle recipe Winter in Sydney swings from being warm enough to run around in shorts and play with your dog at the beach, and cold enough to wear ugg boots and maybe, just maybe, turn on the heater. So the food I make ranges from hearty winter stews to fresh summer salads. I grill outdoors all year round, I make soups in summer and salads in winter....
Not everyone has time to go on walks, or the quiet space to do yoga, or the inclination to journal. And a good night’s sleep can be maddeningly elusive. But if you’re reading this, there’s one ritual we all share: making dinner. Even if you are wiped out from whatever the day requires of you, dinner presents a time to focus on the basics and follow your senses: how things look, smell, sound, taste....
Let me get you acquainted with quince, so you can take full advantage of every chance encounter you may have in the future. What is Quince? A Formal Introduction Quince (cydonia oblonga) is a member of the rose family (Rosaceae), and the only child of the genus cydonia. They’re green-yellow and shaped like pears, but wonky with more pronounced bumps. Some have a coat of pale fuzz. Their leaves are shiny and waxy looking and have velvety undersides....
What’s in Season in February? Blood oranges and lemons Blood oranges are peaking now, these juicy ruby wonders timed perfectly for Valentines Day. Most citrus are happiest during the dreary winter months. Now is the time to make marmalade, and anything lemony. Swiss chard, kale, and collards It’s still the season for sturdy winter greens. Look for rainbow chard with colorful stems.

Tip: Portion leftover pesto into an ice cube tray, freeze, then pop out the cubes and store in a freezer bag for next time. Tip: Pull the meat off the bones as soon as you’re home from the market and store in a covered container in the fridge. It’s much easier to do when the chicken is still warm. Tip: The dressings in salad kits tend to be on the sweet side....
How many of these are already in your pantry?? Why I’m sharing my essential spice list A few weeks ago I shared a little impromptu video on Instagram calling for help because someone removed one spice jar from my alphabetically organised wall of spices, I couldn’t figure out what it was and it was driving me crazy. Other than the answer (share your answer in the comments below!!) the other takeaway was that people were curious what are the spices I use the most?...
A showstopper holiday dessert doesn’t have to come from a professional bakery. As we’ve seen in GBBO, home bakers can create striking celebration-worthy desserts too! Before getting started, I have a few recommendations: Read the recipe from beginning to end carefully. Sometimes you’ll have to read through it twice.Set aside the proper baking pans and any special equipment on your kitchen counter. You don’t want to scramble for them mid-bake....
Cold season produce isn’t just pretty, though. Winter fruits and vegetables are high in nutrients and produce flavonoids and antioxidants that give them extra defenses to survive cold and damp weather. Flavonoids are responsible for the saturated hues of these hearty vegetables, and it turns out that these same substances are pretty good for us too. We instinctively crave rich comfort foods like soups, stews, and casseroles when the weather gets cold, but there is a bounty of winter veg to eat up during the season....
Cue the slow cooker. I use it as much as I can during this time of year. Not only does it save me time from having to prep and cook dinner in the evening, the type of meals I crave this time of year are ones that turn out well in the slow cooker—they warm foods like casseroles, stews, and chili. Slow cookers range in size and function. For most of our recipes, you’ll need one that can hold 4 to 6 quarts....
After such a jumbled summer, a change in seasons is welcome. But this year, whatever shape it may be taking, school is breaking new territory. Where I live in the Ohio River Valley, it’s been a hot, hot summer—so my favorite fall fruits may be too dry and shriveled to make an abundant harvest. But there’s still the always-anticipated wardrobe switch to boots and sweaters. The cavalcade of pumpkin spice products....

Who said you can’t have cake for breakfast? Apple Bread is a great, indulgent breakfast alongside a hot cup of coffee or tea. You can also serve it for dessert with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream on top.

Recipe developer Kye Ameden says the KAF team tested over 100 bagel recipes to find the perfect sandwich bagel, one that’s substantial enough to hold a variety of sandwich fillings while still being light and crispy–not the typical carb-load gut bomb, but rather a true “sandwich bagel,” destined for many a bacon, egg, and cheese experience. “There’s something incredibly rewarding about making bagels at home,” says Ameden. “Their bready aroma fills the kitchen while they’re baking, and their texture fresh from the oven is absolutely perfect–not too chewy and with a slightly crisp crust....

Here’s what you do: Around 5pm, when everyone is trickling back to the house from the day’s adventures, send someone out to fetch fresh fish fillets. Flounder or sole are both good, or substitute another mild fish. Meanwhile, get the oven warming and delegate a few houseguests to prepare the breadcrumb topping. Shredded Parmesan cheese makes this particular task even easier, and avoids the question of whether your beach house comes equipped with a cheese grater....
