Seasoned Cooking: 13 January 2017 Announcements

Embrace the fading festivity of the recent holidays by using that last bit of eggnog in an entirely festive, decadent dessert. A little planning ahead will have you enjoying rich, creamy creme brûlée infused with the flavor of our waning holiday season.

If the holidays have you wanting to shed a few pounds or just eat healthier, take a clue from the diets of the Ancient Romans and look to menu rich in fresh fruits and vegetables, fish, nuts, beans, herbs, and spices. Sounds like my kind of lunch!

Strong flavors like lemon and ginger are natural companions when it comes to preserves like marmalade. What's more, a simple marmalade is actually quite easy to make when you have some summer squash on hand to act as a foundation.

Grab your pressure cooker or slow cooker and get ready to blend Asian and Tex-Mex flavors for a great dinner that leaves you with minimal effort and maximum approval from those gathered around your table at the end of the day.
