Ingredient Pairings

Apricots pair well with almonds, as the nutty flavor complements the sweetness of apricots. This combination is commonly seen in desserts like tarts and cakes, as well as in savory dishes like salads and chicken dishes.

Food Facts

The world's most popular spice is black pepper. It is native to South India and has been traded for thousands of years.

Cooking Tips

When chopping onions, refrigerate them for a few minutes before cutting to reduce the release of the irritating compounds that cause tears.

Ingredient Spotlight

Chia seeds are tiny seeds that are packed with nutrients, including fiber, protein, and omega-3 fatty acids. They have a mild, nutty flavor and a gelatinous texture when soaked in liquid. Chia seeds can be added to smoothies, oatmeal, baked goods, or used as a thickening agent.

Foraging Facts

Acorns, the nuts of oak trees, can be foraged and used as a versatile ingredient. However, acorns contain tannins that make them bitter and astringent. Proper processing, such as leaching or grinding, is necessary to remove the tannins and make them edible.

Baking Hacks

When measuring sticky ingredients like honey or molasses, lightly coat the measuring cup or spoon with cooking spray or oil. This allows the sticky substance to slide off easily.

Culinary Terms

Rub is a mixture of herbs, spices, and seasonings that is applied to meat, poultry, or fish before cooking. It enhances flavor and creates a flavorful crust.
