Ingredient Pairings

Sage and butternut squash make a delightful pairing, as the earthy and slightly peppery flavor of sage enhances the sweetness of the squash. This combination is often used in comforting fall dishes like soups and risottos.

Food Facts

Peanut butter is an American invention. It was developed by Dr. John Harvey Kellogg as a protein-rich food for patients at his sanitarium in the late 1800s.

Cooking Tips

To avoid over-salting a dish, taste and season gradually. Remember, you can always add more salt, but it's challenging to fix an overly salty dish.

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

Foraging for wild herbs like thyme, rosemary, and mint can provide a fresh and aromatic addition to your culinary creations. Look for them in wild meadows, hillsides, or along hiking trails.

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.
