Common Cooking Mistakes You Should Avoid
As many people in the tri-state area could tell you, I used to be a professional food critic. In those years, I actually worked hard to develop a good palate for food, a fine understanding of what it takes to make a good meal, and a good grasp of food flavor pairings.

Ice cream and summer go together like Trump and egomaniacs. When the weather gets warm, there’s one comfort food that dessert-lovers all over the state go in search for: ice cream. Folks simply love to quench their need of having some ice cream before in the hot weather.
David LasherPublished 7 years ago in FeastPolly Want a Cracker?
Have you ever made snack crackers at home? Most people don’t. There are so many savory varieties on the market; it seems faster and easier to pick up a box of munchies at the market than to go to the trouble of baking up a batch yourself.
Marlene AffeldPublished 7 years ago in FeastOctober Apples
It was easy to tell when it was time to start preparing for the annual Apple Butter making ritual. The leaves would start to show a hint of color as the nights got cooler. Soon the first hard freeze would bring out Autumn in all its colorful beauty. Labor Day weekend was a distant memory as the calendar stated it was time to prepare for Halloween. The second week of October was usually unseasonably warm during the day with cold nights which was perfect weather to put the finishing touches on the apple orchards and their bounty.
Ganache Techniques
As a chocolatier, I use ganache in many of the recipes and demonstrations I share online so I thought I should produce an easy how to guide covering some of the ratio options for ganache. With this guide, you should be able to create any kind of ganache for any dessert with any flavour combination! These are the three basic ratios every chocolatier uses when making chocolate ganache.
David Greenwood-HaighPublished 7 years ago in FeastGuide to Grilling Pizza
Pizza is one of those things that most people tend to have pretty strong opinions about – especially when it comes to grilling pizza. Most pizza purists will tell you that the best pizzas ever will be oven-fired, made with homemade dough, and topped with the freshest Italian goodies you can find on the market. Or, they may tell you that pizza's only really available in New York City.

People tend to approach healthy dessert recipes with an air of skepticism. Healthy desserts? Seems like a contradictory statements. Desserts are meant to be sugary and sweet. How can any dessert be healthy?
Miranda O'ConnerPublished 7 years ago in FeastBacon Maple Cheesecake
When we opened Third & Vine back in February of 2014 I originally planned to change the cheesecake flavor with the season. However, everyone loved this one so much we decided there was no way it could come off the menu. It became our signature dessert and although I am no longer the chef at Third & Vine I know they will always keep it.
Lynn WheelerPublished 7 years ago in FeastEasy Lunches That Satisfy
Lunch might just be one of the most difficult meals of the day. Satisfying dinners are easy to whip up, as are built-up breakfasts. It's possible to get a stick-to-your-ribs dinner or lunch that also doesn't pack a powerful punch in the diet department.

Cooking isn't easy, and if you don't believe it, look at how many Pinterest memes have been made based on botched recipes. What makes it worse for many would-be Gordon Ramsays is that the most complex recipes all seem to taste the best.

We are girls who love fish and seafood. Lyssie is obsessed with sardines, to put it mildly (she could eat them at every meal and be happy as a clam.) Tammy tends to think that it’s not only the taste that Lyssie loves, and that they’re a great source of inflammation-fighting omega-3s, but she feels like we have a lot in common with the little guys since we’re small too –only 5-foot-2, and that’s on a good day. 😊
