    Instant Pot Tips and Tricks

    November 27, 2020

    One of the hottest kitchen gadgets this year is an instant pot. It is versatile, functional, and can make cooking quicker, simpler, and easier. You can do such a variety of different things with an Instant Pot, but many owners, or potential owners of the machine, only know some of the basic steps of use. Just because of how versatile it is, there is so much more to cooking with a pressure cooker. The more that you know what to do with it, the more that you will want to use it all of the time. If you are looking for some tips and tricks for an Instant Pot, then…

    Reasons Learning to Cook Is Therapeutic

    October 7, 2020

    Learning to cook is more about just being able to keep ourselves alive. It has a deeper meaning to it, it can be therapeutic. While some life skills and traits are more important than others in many different perspectives, there are a few that are objectively seen as super necessary.  One of those life skills is the ability to cook. Being able to put food on a plate for yourself and those around you has more effects than what face value provides. Some people are able to prepare meals better than others. You probably know an amazing chef that can create three-course meals, and friends who can barely boil water.…

    Introduction to Cooking With Wine

    January 23, 2019

    A wine labeled “cooking wine” is usually an inferior wine that would not be drunk on its own.  It typically lacks distinction, flavor, and contain too much salt and unwanted preservatives. A good home chef will never use these products but instead use a good quality wine, they would drink on its own.    Be sure to use wine which compliments the food with which it is paired. But do not worry, there is no need to spend a fortune on wine destined for sauces and stews.  Some of those $10 bottles can taste delicious and will make a significant difference in your cooking applications. Alternative to wine If you…

    Streamline Your Cooking With Frozen Vegetables

    November 10, 2017

    Have you ever considered buying frozen vegetables? Frozen vegetables are a convenient, time-saving short cut when preparing meals at home. Perfect for soups and stews (where the vegetable is NOT the primary ingredient), these packaged foods sometimes hold flavor better than their fresh counterpart, especially when the vegetable is out of season. I would never recommend using frozen vegetables in a fresh salad; or frozen onions in a French Onion Soup, however, they work well in hearty dishes cooked in a slow-cooker, such as the Bachelor Beef Stew below. Which frozen vegetables are the best to buy? Not all vegetables are worth buying from the frozen food department. Vegetables with…
