This is a reader-favourite recipe included by popular demand in my debut cookbook “Dinner”! Baked Mac and Cheese I don’t want to be morbid, but if I had to choose a Last Meal, this Baked Mac and Cheese may possibly be it. Put me in a room with Macaroni Cheese, and neither of us stand a chance. Said Mac and Cheese would be ravaged. And of all the Mac and Cheeses in the world, this is still the best Mac and Cheese I’ve ever had!...
How do you get a perfectly domed muffin top? The secret to that perfectly domed muffin top is to blast the muffin batter with super high heat when you first place it into the oven, and then let it finish baking at a slightly lower temperature. The high heat causes the steam in the muffins to release quickly, making the muffin puff up and create that perfect dome on top....

What Are Boysenberries? Boysenberries look like blackberries, but are actually a cross between blackberries, loganberries, and raspberries. As such they fruit much earlier in the season than blackberries, and they are more delicate in touch and taste. As a vine to cultivate, they aren’t nearly as thorny as blackberries and neither are they as invasive of a plant. I used to grow blackberries in San Francisco and it was a constant struggle to keep them from taking over the yard....

A tasty, low-carb meal has got to be on the top of your list for weeknight suppers. The emphasis here is on tasty.

The Secret to Chicken Marbella: Prunes! Prunes are the distinctive ingredient in this famous dish. They’re actually used often in classical French cooking, and the Silver Palate recipe borrows heavily from the French traditional lapin aux pruneaux. While prunes and capers might seem like an odd combination, when cooked together with chicken, they create a delectable sweet and sour, savory flavor. An Easy Chicken Marbella Recipe — Great for a Party!...

What is the difference between sweet potatoes and yams? In America, the terms “Sweet Potato” and “Yam” are used interchangeably and refer to that potato looking thing with the red skin and orange flesh. Yet, you have probably seen something else in the grocery store labeled sweet potato with a light yellow skin, while your orange flesh variety is labeled yams. Guess what? Both of them are sweet potatoes! The kind of sweet potatoes you think of as yams are simply dark skinned sweet potatoes....
