When a recipe calls for chicken stock, do you use actual home made stock? Does anyone make stock and have stock on hand? Or do you buy it? I’m curious to see what everyone does, homemade stock, purchased stock, canned...

I have to be honest. This is not something that I’ve thought much about, until recently. A friend of mine and I were having a pint, and talking about music in the kitchen and at dinner parties. I hate music at dinner...

I’ve started using those wrapnmats. I love the concept but if you make sandwiches that aren’t regular size (like smaller ones, rolls), they don’t work that well. We’ve also switched to Sigg bottles for...
