Happy Friday! Here are some of our favorites for this week. Have a great weekend!
How to use a whole ear of corn: Food52 published this incredibly useful article about how to make the most out of your corn. We’re usually so focused on the kernels that we don’t think about the rest. But their instructions for corn stock sound phenomenal. Corn risotto made with corn stock? Yes, please.
101 Cookbooks Magic Sauce: We love the idea of keeping a batch of this bright herbaceous oil on hand to spoon over pretty much everything.
Offset Spoon Set: Cooking god Michael Ruhlman has an online shop with the most useful tools you’ll need in the kitchen. These offset spoons allow you to take a full taste of sauce or soup out of a deep pot without spilling half it back into the pot. They also make skimming and basting easier.
La Salamandra Dulce De Leche: Love caramel flavors and rich, creamy spreads? Made in Argentina, this amazing treat is perfect served with apple slices, layered into alfajores cookies or drizzled over ice cream. (Available at some Williams Sonoma stores, specialty grocers or online.)
11 Healthiest Spices: Most of us know spices can be good for us- think of how many times someone told you a peppermint could help settle your stomach! Yahoo Shine recently put together a list of 11 of the most healthy spices, along with tips for incorporating them into your cooking.
Le Creuset Cast Iron Soup Pot: As with most items at Sur La Table, the problem isn’t wanting it- it’s finding somewhere to put it in our kitchen. This new size (available in all the colors you could want) is super convenient, perfect for soups and stews.
