The Newcomer's Guide to Cheese
The Newcomers Guide to Cheese - Vol. 1, The Usual Cheese Plate Suspects We can't all run a little fromagerie in the French countryside, or smoke our own gouda, or wear monks robes as we turn our deliciously moldy wheels of dark, gooey magic in dark, gloomy caves.

Stracciatella Pretzels
Ever since I can remember, I have been obsessed with pretzels. Cannot go to the mall without passing by the pretzel stand at the end! However, baking them always seemed a bit daunting to me — I had no experience with yeast dough, shaping them looked difficult, and frankly it just looked pretty complicated to bake.

What's the Trick to Making Awesome Corned Beef?
The best way to prepare corned beef? That is simple. Beer! Yep, soak (or I should say "marinate") that baby in beer overnight and then simmer it in a bath of beer and water for 6-8 hours the next day. This imparts a wonderful flavor to the meat, as well as tenderizing it.

Louisiana Treat
So let me ask you... What looks like seafood, tastes like seafood, and smells likes seafood but doesn't come from the sea? It's a crawfish, or "mudbug" a freshwater shellfish that is a traditional Louisiana food staple.

It's B A N A N A S.
I have always said, food is my love language. A year ago, I left an abusive relationship; one where they HATED everything I cooked or baked. I wore myself down making anything I could to make them happy with food and usually it ended with them throwing it in the garbage. After a while, I stopped cooking and baking completely; I stopped doing what I loved.

'Unbeetable' Red Velvet Cake
For me, nothing beats red velvet cake: the rich chocolate flavour, the deep red colour, and the sweet smoothness of the frosting. It all combines to make a heavenly eating experience. As both an avid taste-tester and baker of red velvet, I never thought any recipe could compare to the traditional one I'd perfected, until I created a vegan version out of dietary necessity. This recipe, is truly unbeetable.

Silky Chocolate and Orange Vegan Pie w/ Vegan Whipped "Cream"
Eating a vegan diet is not only kind to our bodies but to animals and the environment as well. Anything we can do to eat vegan, even if only occasionally, can have a substantial positive impact. But does that mean vegan desserts are bland and uninteresting? Absolutely not! And, while it is great to keep it simple and quick, it doesn't mean a vegan should always be relegated to the corner with a bowl of sorbet or fruit salad for dessert. There is a bevy of bountiful desserts just waiting to please the vegan palate, such as this Silky Chocolate and Orange Vegan Pie. This dessert will "wow" those you make this for, vegans and non-vegans alike!
