peaches poached in champagne with a vanilla pod. or Add a pod to your sugar jar.. adds a wonderful flavour to the sugar and lasts for years.

Sold on the stem, one branch cost about a buck and was enough for a small dish of soy beans in the pod to keep four guests occupied before dinner. I poached them for 10 minutes in some salted water and served. They’re...

What you describe seems to be a close relative of the dopey device I got from Wegman’s. I finally found a reference to the silicone egg poacher I’d read about. It’s called a PoachPod and is made (or at least...

Frank, I’ve never tried the fresh. How do you cook them, same as the frozen? Poach for 20 min or so in the pod?

probably missed your order, but I love the poach pods i got on amazon. now I own 3 sets for when company comes! http://www.amazon.com/Fusionbrands-Poach-Pods...

I like to make tea with it which really shows off the spice. An roommate who was Indian showed me this. Simmer milk with tea leaves, sugar, and a few crushed green cardamom pods. Put the burner on medium and once a light boil...

We get them from the garden and often just grill them in the pod over a charcoal fire (or over a stove-top grill), peel them, and eat them with good salt. They seem to be best when cooked this way – very fresh tasting. It...

on top, add 1 cinnamon stick, 1 cardamon pod and 2 cloves (lemon or orange peel can be added too). Poach gently for 20 mins until pears are tender and bright red in colour. Drain (saving poaching liquid for other recipes) and cool...

. For dessert the creme brulee was full of vanilla pods and had an excellent strawberry creme on the plate below it. The poached pear was stuffed with blue cheese and elegantly presented though the sauce became sickly. The...

One of the best dates I ever had started at Whole Foods (no, we didn’t just bump into each other in the balsamic isle...) and ended up on Centre Island with a bunch of random take out selections, our bikes and an iPod...

I’m making salads topped with chicken tonight and was curious as to how you prep the breasts. I was going to just poach, but am open to suggestions! Thanks!

I am making vanilla pears for my gifts. I am taking a vanilla bean and scraping the seeds into the jar and also tossing in the pod. Then just fill and process as usual. They are outstanding. Actually I’m doing up a couple...

method she suggests (and that I haven’t tried) is to steam the beans in their pods and then double-peel them under running cold water, removing the skins along with the pods. The disadvantage of this later method is that...

I’m going to poach some breasts for burritos, but I want to make a flavorful, slightly spicy sauce for the shredded chicken to combine with. Any ideas of what I should flavor it with? I was thinking cumin, maybe lime...then...

- a poached egg might go too? For mains... Lasagne will probably be taken, but I do a pretty good lasagne. I don’t know whether to leave my comfort zone. My best dishes are probably chili, steak (and similar cuts), homemade...
