Coriander vs Cilantro First, it’s important to clear up any confusion that may arise between “coriander” and “cilantro,” both of which actually come from the same plant.

For this reason, most experienced cooks rely on a “finger test” method, especially on steaks. (Whole roasts are better tested with a thermometer.) How to Check the Doneness of Meat With Your Fingers My mother has been trying to get me to test meat with my fingertips for years, and for years, being somewhat of a scaredy-cat (Won’t it burn my fingers?...
Between devils food cake, red velvet, and German chocolate cake, it is easy to get these all mixed up. Fortunately, there are plenty of distinguishing traits once you bite into them!

And it’s not just about burning your face off…it tastes good too!...
‘What the heck is this turmeric latte or golden milk all about? Sounds a bit weird!’ That’s what I was thinking about when I first started seeing the hype. Supposedly the next big cult drink of 2016 due to the anti-inflamatory and anti-oxidant properties of the turmeric. I wasn’t convinced. Would it be like drinking watered-down curry? Would it wake me up in the morning like my favourite first cup of coffee - despite the lack of caffeine?...

I could probably eat a hundred turkey butties in a row before I get bored. Ideally with lashings of President butter (that stuff is so good I’m only allowed to buy it at Christmas and on holiday), a pinch of salt, leftover stuffing, cranberry sauce, and maybe a touch of mayo too.

When I notice that everyone is in a good mood....

Chicken Piccata I realise it sounds totally obnoxious to call this a “better” Chicken Piccata. I should clarify and say that this is a better one to me. This dish is a wildly popular Italian-American classic that I’ve tried making over the years following other recipes. I’ve just never been impressed with the results though, leaving me feeling that I’m somehow missing out on the enjoyment of this dish. I always found the lemon sauce mouth-puckeringly sour to the point of wincing....
This is your future self writing to remind you to take a deep breath. You’re home from dropping the kids at school and dwelling on the fact that you yelled at them to get in the car. Now you’re staring down the aftermath of the morning: a dirty egg pan that may never recover, evidence of a last-minute lunch packing frenzy, and undoubtedly, wet towels on unmade beds upstairs. But you got the job done....
