Quote of the Day

Eating is a need.

Enjoying is an art.

Tip of the Day

Let raw potatoes stand in cold water 
for at least half an hour 
    before frying to improve the crispness of 
french-fried potatoes.

Tip of the Day

" To keep herbs tasting fresh 

for up to a month, 

store whole bunches, 

washed and sealed in 

plastic bags, in the freezer.

When you need them, 

they'll be easier to chop, 

and they'll defrost the minute

 they hit a hot pan".
