Did You Know?

Ingredient Pairings

Basil and tomatoes are a perfect match, as the fresh, bright flavor of basil complements the sweet and slightly acidic taste of tomatoes. This pairing is often seen in Italian dishes like pasta and pizza.

Food Facts

Eating spicy foods can increase your metabolism and temporarily boost your calorie-burning rate due to the thermogenic effect of capsaicin, the compound responsible for the heat in chili peppers.

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

Sweet potatoes are starchy root vegetables that have a naturally sweet taste. They are packed with vitamins, fiber, and antioxidants. Sweet potatoes can be baked, roasted, mashed, or used in both sweet and savory preparations.

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 making a pie crust, freeze the butter and grate it into the flour mixture using a box grater. This helps distribute the butter evenly and results in a flakier crust.

Culinary Terms

Tempering chocolate is the process of gradually heating and cooling melted chocolate to stabilize the cocoa butter crystals, ensuring a smooth and glossy finish when it sets.
