The Umami-Packed Ingredient That Instantly Amplifies Store-Bought Tomato Sauce

1 week ago | yahoo.com | Amber Sutherland-Namako

We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. Tomato sauce, even the pre-seasoned variety containing only the fruit itself, already has plenty of umami quality all on its own. That's thanks, in part, to the tomato's naturally occurring monosodium glutamate, or MSG, the unfairly derided component that gives a number of foods the savory sensation that we also call umami.

Whether your idea of a cozy kitchen is reminiscent of a Parisian bistro or the reliable old corner diner, there's one thing they might just have in common: café curtains. You can probably picture them right now, tailored to fit the lower half of the window -- light, and fluttering in the breeze.

Martha Stewart's Favorite Dish Is Simpler Than You Think

1 week ago | yahoo.com | Amber Sutherland-Namako

One would be forgiven for assuming that the doyenne of domesticity's ideal dish is something terrifically complicated, but Martha Stewart's tastes can be surprisingly simple. Sure, the celebrity chef and media mogul's whipped cream recipe uses quince syrup harvested from her very own farm, and even Stewart's Mason jar meal prep is just a wee bit fancier than the norm. But Martha Stewart must, at the end of the day, still appeal to the bourgeoisie.

Ina Garten's Go-To Chocolate Candy She Loves To Use As A Hostess Gift

1 week ago | yahoo.com | Amber Sutherland-Namako

When someone requests the present of your presence in their home for cocktail hour, a dinner party, or a murder mystery adventure destined to blur the lines between fantasy and reality, the least you can do is bring them a gift. If they have a stated preference, that's terrific, and if not, there are certain visitor fallbacks that rarely fail. A bottle of wine is always a classic, as is a floral arrangement.

1 week ago | yahoo.com | Amber Sutherland-Namako

We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. Sometimes it seems like so-called easy weeknight dinners are a myth. Recipes sourced even from the most august publications can sometimes take twice as long as their stated estimates, with little to show for all that extra time. But Ina Garten's enduring go-to dinner for busy weeknights actually hews pretty close to the oft-promoted 30-minute mark.

1 week ago | yahoo.com | Amber Sutherland-Namako

Titled for exactly what it is, if you understand enough Italian, semifreddo is the half-frozen treat that shares a little in common with both cake and ice cream or gelato. The former's similarity is mostly due to its shape, which you'll often see molded into an oaf or square. The stronger latter likeness is, naturally, due to semifreddo's temperature. And you can whip up a modified version with only about as many ingredients as you might have in your morning coffee cup.
Seriously, Add BBQ Sauce To This Classic Cocktail For A Total Flavor Upgrade

1 week ago | yahoo.com | Amber Sutherland-Namako

We must admit, the notion of adding barbecue sauce — the multi-use condiment that's equally delicious as a marinade or a dipping sauce — to a cocktail might sound a little goofy at first. But when the charcoal grill smoke clears to reveal the target libation in question, it just all makes so much sense that you'll hardly recall a time when you weren't spooning the red stuff into your booze.
