When growing up, I had the luxury of having a pomegranate tree in the backyard. It was small and didn’t bear much fruit, but it was always a treat to come home from school and find a bowl of pomegranate seeds awaiting me. My mother taught me how to handle and seed pomegranates at an early age.

Ah, ice-cream sandwiches! If there’s one thing that takes me back to my childhood it’s hearing the sound of the local ice-cream truck doing its rounds. For those few moments, I feel the urge to check my pocket for spare change and get that feeling that I wish I was a kid again.

There’s a lot of personal preference involved in any sort of kitchen knife. Boning knives are no exception: while there are some general tips we can give, you’ll want to pick a knife that fits your kitchen and cooking style.

Sugar is my own worst enemy. I love it but i’ve been trying to cut down my intake lately. Every week, I allow myself a day off the sweet stuff but sometimes you get that craving that wont go away.

So I threw down the sugary gauntlet and accepted the task – to make the ultimate sugar free caramel recipe.

Founded in 1925, Le Creuset Cookware Company has come to be known for its production of high quality and individual enameled pots and pans. The first of their products was a covered casserole (called a cocotte).

If you love French pressed coffee, then you probably already know that the consistency and quality of your grinder will make a world of difference to the taste of each cup. Choosing the best French press coffee grinder, however, isn’t as daunting as you might think.

So long as you know what to look for, finding the right grinder will come easy. 

The sweet taste of childhood

We all have a favorite candy bar. For me, it’s the Butterfinger. When I bite into a Butterfinger, my mind travels back to wistful summers spent as a child, where I would mow my neighbors’ lawns for a few dollars to spend at the drugstore. A Butterfinger was always among the things I bought.

Discovering Sous Vide

As a child, I used to dislike octopus. It tasted fine, of course, but the way it felt in my mouth was always too chewy. It was like eating an eraser. A cooked eraser, mind you, and one that was breaded and fried and dipped in some sort of sauce, but an eraser nonetheless. Not my favorite.

My Favorite Meaty Snack

I remember my addiction with beef roast ended the moment a friend of mine introduced me to bison chuck roast. I have never felt such pleasure in my mouth; I would say I’ll never too, but that would be a lie seeing the feeling is rekindled every time I have bison chuck roast.
