We sat together enjoying the crispy filo triangles with Slata Tounsiya and fresh baguette from the bakery around the corner....

Nov 21, 2011 Lesson #1: Rude grocery line people (unsurprisingly) do not like being told that you hope strangers are kinder to them than they are to strangers. Lesson #2: Men who are mean to girls buying butter and sugar are probably chemically imbalanced. Do not anger them. Lesson #3 (the big one): Don’t waste your time/breath/energy trying to rationalize with irrational people (applicable across the board, not just co-liner-uppers)....

Mar 09, 2020 How to Make Ricotta Pasta First choose a pasta you like. I like a flat pasta you can twirl, like fettuccine, linguine or tagliatelle (which is pictured). Then choose your greens: I use kale, spinach and broccoli rabe but you can use any greens you like, such as beet greens, swiss chard (aka silverbeet), broccoli, and/or bags of frozen mixed greens. Keep it to 1 lb of leafy greens or 8 oz leafy greens plus 1 lb of something sturdier like peas, broccolini, broccoli, or broccoli rabe....

Mar 15, 2014, Updated Mar 10, 2024 Coconut milk is one tinned cupboard staple that I reach for regularly. Now, I will never buy it again. I’ve homemade coconut milk with both shredded and ribboned coconut. I found the ribboned to be more flavourful (but it might have been because it was organic, and the shredded wasn’t). Desiccated coconut (the super finely grated coconut) is too dry. Whichever you use, make sure it’s fresh – don’t try this with an opened bag you have kicking around your pantry from those 7-layer bars you made that time who knows when....

You don’t thumb through pages of food-inspired stories and mouthwatering images until you fall asleep, only to dream of your next delightful recipe?...
