Ingredient Pairings

Walnuts and blue cheese create a delightful contrast of flavors and textures. The buttery and nutty taste of walnuts complements the sharp and tangy flavor of blue cheese, resulting in a delicious combination used in salads and cheese platters.

Food Facts

Cashews grow outside of a fruit called a cashew apple. The 'nut' we eat is actually the seed found at the bottom of the cashew apple.

Cooking Tips

For a juicier burger, make a small indentation in the center of the patty before cooking. This helps the burger retain its shape and prevents it from puffing up in the middle.

Ingredient Spotlight

Garlic is a versatile ingredient that adds flavor to a wide range of dishes. It has a pungent, savory taste and a distinctive aroma. Whether used in sauces, marinades, or stir-fries, garlic adds depth and complexity to recipes.

Foraging Facts

Spring is an excellent time for foraging wild greens like dandelion greens, wild garlic, and stinging nettle. These nutrient-rich greens can be used in salads, sautés, or even blended into pesto.

Baking Hacks

If you run out of baking powder while baking, you can make a substitute by mixing 1 part baking soda with 2 parts cream of tartar. This combination provides the leavening effect needed in many recipes.

Culinary Terms

Proofing is the final rise given to yeast dough before baking. It allows the dough to ferment and rise, resulting in a lighter texture and improved flavor.
