Cooking Tips

When whisking vinaigrettes or dressings, gradually add the oil to the vinegar or acid while whisking vigorously. This helps to emulsify the ingredients and create a smooth and well-blended dressing.

Ingredient Spotlight

Foraging Facts

Wild edibles can be found in urban areas as well. For example, common urban forageable plants include dandelions, plantains, purslane, and chickweed. Be mindful of potential contaminants like pollution or pesticide use in urban environments.

Baking Hacks

When making pastry dough, use ice-cold water to help keep the dough cold and maintain its flakiness. Cold water slows down the formation of gluten in the dough.
