Avid Baker? Then You Should Have an Offset Spatula This offset spatula is the ideal tool for frosting layer cakes and cupcakes. The sharp metal edge neatly scrapes and smooths out thin layers of frosting , while the angled offset design makes frosting the sides of a cake much easier than if you were awkwardly trying to handle and angle a straight butter knife.The flexible metal has a bit of bounce and give, which naturally creates frosting swoops and swirls....

I used vegetables that I typically have on hand at home. Feel free to do the same here. Oftentimes I’ll add proteins like chorizo, prawns, or ham. This is a great weekend dish. It’s lovely to start a slow and relaxing weekend with a hearty egg breakfast or brunch. Of course, this is something that can be enjoyed midweek too, even as a lunch but bear in mind the time it will take to prep and cook....

Our Traditional Easter Dinner Every year our family gathers together on Easter Sunday to enjoy a traditional ham dinner. On the side, we serve a potato dish, a salad, and hot homemade rolls. According to marthastewart.com, ham became the meat of choice for Easter dinner because it was more readily available than lamb. However, if ham isn’t your main dish of choice, lamb, pork, or a roast beef can also be served....

How Long Does Yeast Last? Sealed, unopened dry yeast keeps about 2 years. Chilling extends its life span, which is why it’s best to store dry yeast (unopened and opened!) in the refrigerator or freezer. Always look at the best-before date before purchasing a bag or jar of yeast, then buy the freshest one. Opened active and instant dry yeast will last four months in the refrigerator and up to six months in the freezer....

To take a break from our usual (almost daily in the summer) way to cook up the zucchini (see mom’s summer squash), we prepared a classic French gratin, with grated zucchini, spinach, onions sautéed with bacon, a persillade of parsley and garlic, all bound together with a few eggs, tossed with Parmesan, and baked until golden brown. Zucchini has never tasted so good! I think the bacon might have something to do with it....

Not only do the apples get infused with buttery flavor, pre-cooking them helps remove moisture, so the cake doesn’t get soggy. Here’s a tip, don’t leave out the zest! The lemon zest, although only a half teaspoon is used, is an essential ingredient—it helps brighten the flavor of the cake. For information on which apple varieties are best for baking, check out our Guide to Apples....

The leaves are delicate tasting, just slightly bitter, exquisite. Belgian endive is a chicory, like radicchio or curly endive, that commercially is grown completely indoors, away from light, in order to result in the delicate leaves we enjoy. Exposed to light, the leaves turn green and become much more bitter. They grow like a forced bulb on top of a large root the size of a fat carrot. Endives are grown in France, Belgium, and also in California....

Pickled Beets I have a confession to make. I really love pickled beets. They are the best on salads or just as a quick little snack. They are a little sweet, a little tangy, and have a nice texture. In my opinion, they are delicious but there’s so much more to love about them! Beets are high in nutrients and antioxidants making them a vitamin-packed “superfood”. How to Pickle Beets Wash and trim – Scrub and rinse beets....

This digital scale is affordable and accurate. It’s one of our faves! Our friends at Serious Eats prefer using a baking steel over a pizza stone. I have both, and agree that a baking steel ($102) makes excellent pizza. But if you want to start at a lower price point, go for the pizza stone! Buy it: Wooden pizza peel, $26 from Amaon If you’re unsure about investing in a pizza stone and pizza peel just yet, but still want to make great pizza at home, opt for cast iron skillet pizza instead....
