For too long I've relied on eggs to get the protein my body craves in the morning. Occasionally I’ll switch to yogurt or make fruit smoothies with protein powder. In general, though, I’m getting bored with it all....

I've been making vegetable, lentil and bean soups for years with Tetrapak or canned chicken broth. The other day I had a leftover roast chicken and decided to try making my own stock. I used the carcass and added onion, celery,...

The recipe seems strange to me – the standard way to make hard boiled eggs is put eggs in cold water and bring to a boil, as soon as the water is boiling reduce to a simmer for 12 minutes and then shock in cold water. I've...
