Innholdsfortegnelse for November 2016 i Allrecipes

In each episode, two of your fellow Allrecipeeps (yep, regular home cooks, just like you!) will compete to see who can whip up a dish that will impress our panel of judges. What they make is determined by a spin of our Allrecipes Dinner Spinner mobile app (more on that in a minute). But the real winner, of course, is you. In upcoming issues, you’ll get some of their recipes in our new column we’re calling (wait for it…) “Dinner Spinner.” And we’ll pair each of those recipes with side dishes so you can create a complete, award-winning meal of your own. We’ll also take you behind the scenes to share all the fun, drama, and fresh ideas. Dinner Spinner, which is sponsored by Panasonic, will air Saturdays nationwide on…

USE HEAVY CREAM OR WHIPPING CREAM because they have enough fat to whip up properly. Half-and-half or table cream won’t cut it. (PS: 1 cup cream = 2 cups whipped, enough for 1 pie.) CHILL YOUR BOWL AND BEATERS (1 hour in the fridge or 20 minutes in the freezer) and leave the cream in the fridge until you’re ready to whip. Cold helps cream’s fat molecules cling together and wrap around air bubbles to give whipped cream its structure. WHIP TO SOFT PEAKS BEFORE ADDING SUGAR. Vigorously whip until beaters leave soft, curled-over peaks when pulled straight up and out. Be patient! This takes 5 minutes or so, depending on the temperature of your cream. SWEETEN AND WHIP TO FIRM PEAKS. Add sugar (2 tablespoons per cup of unwhipped…

Even if you’re not a tea drinker, you might be a tea eater. Seriously! You can use tea to add flavor to lots of things besides water. A really easy one to try is yogurt. Just submerge 1 bag of your favorite tea in about ½ cup of your favorite yogurt. Keep it covered in the fridge for 2 to 3 days, jostling the container or giving the yogurt a stir once a day. Then remove and discard the bag, after scraping it and stirring in any juices, and enjoy a subtly aromatic and lightly tea-flavored yogurt. Some combos to try: ENGLISH BREAKFAST TEA + VANILLA YOGURT TO WAKE UP YOUR GRANOLA LEMON-GINGER TEA + BLUEBERRY YOGURT TO ADD ZING TO SMOOTHIES GREEN TEA + COCONUT YOGURT AS A SNACK,…

EDITOR’S TIP keep it real Real maple syrup, not pancake syrup, is the only way to get true maple flavor. There’s actually no maple in pancake syrup, which is made with highfructose corn syrup, caramel coloring, and other ingredients. 136 REVIEWS prep 15 min cook 1 hr, 15 min ready 1 hr, 30 min serves 10 submitted by: jlscharp HEALTHY PICK COOKIN’MAMA “I used freshly ground flax seed instead of wheat germ, and left out the brown sugar.

5 WAYS TO FREE UP KITCHEN SPACE Need more room to make that big holiday meal? (Oh, don’t we all?) If the kitchen fairy doesn’t bring you a bigger kitchen, you can always: Clear the Decks Move whatever you don’t need right now to a closet, a cupboard, or another room. That’s everything from the blender and toaster to the cell phone charger and that pile of junk mail. Prep Elsewhere If you’re lucky enough to have willing helpers, set them up to work at a dining table, desk, card table, or even a coffee table—so they can peel potatoes or chop parsley completely out of your way. Double Up Fill one side of a double sink (or a washbasin set inside a large single sink) with hot, soapy water…

Want healthy skin? Then don’t forget the cranberry sauce! One of relatively few fruits native to America, cranberries have long been used to soothe, protect, and revitalize the skin. In precolonial days, Native Americans applied ground cranberry pastes to wounds to prevent infection. Science has since confirmed why that often worked: Cranberries contain compounds that help keep bacteria from attaching to our cells. What’s more, cranberries have an extremely high concentration of antioxidants that fight against cell damage and inflammation, reducing the effects of aging. They’re also packed with manganese, a mineral that boosts the production of skin-firming collagen, and vitamin C, which helps keep skin looking smooth and youthful. Dried cranberries have a lot less of all those good nutrients, so choose fresh or frozen whole berries—or good ol’…

CONNIE MC “This pie baked up so pretty that I took it to my parents for Thanksgiving. After ʻsampling,’ the whole pie was gone! I baked a second pie to make sure it wasn’t a fluke, and I ended up hiding it in my bedroom so no one else could eat it.” LORENA “I made a grahamcracker crust instead of a regular pie crust, and I added cinnamon and sugar on top before baking. It’s melt-inyour-mouth delicious!” ROSSANA “I can see adding orange or lemon zest, some coconut, or perhaps a liqueur, but I love it the way it is.” 36 REVIEWS prep 20 min cook 1 hr, 15 min ready 3 hr, 35 min (includes cooling) serves 8 submitted by: glenda Buttermilk Pie I armagazine.com/buttermilk-pie-i 1 frozen pie…

The USDA has a new grading system to make it easier for consumers to find the right maple syrup for their taste buds. Previously, syrup was designated as either Grade A (lighter flavor, typically pancakes’ classic companion) or Grade B (darker, more robust, used for cooking and baking). This suggested—wrongly— that Grade B was somehow inferior or less filtered. In reality, Grade B was merely tapped later in the season when growing conditions create a thicker consistency and deeper flavor. The new labeling does away with the Grade B distinction. All retail syrup is now Grade A and broken into four subcategories, based on color, transparency, and flavor. “Pure” still means it’s 100 percent maple syrup.…

We’re not talking baked beans over a campfire or your mother’s famous condensed-soup casserole. We’re talking about inspired meals to make when you’re feeling, um, less than inspired . You know those nights when you open the refrigerator just one more time on the off chance that a roasted chicken will magically appear? Maybe the day got away from you, or you got caught up in Thanksgiving planning, or your grocery budget just went bust. Whatever the reason for your lack of fresh options, go ahead and open the cupboard. Unless you’re Old Mother Hubbard, there’s something in there—something that can turn into dinner. The recipes that follow all rely on canned or frozen foods, plus the kinds of dry goods (such as pasta, rice, spices) and fresh staples (onions,…

WHAT’S THAT? It had a cameo in the last Star Wars movie, and it’s easy to see why. With its lime green color and spiraling, pine tree-shaped florets, Romanesco definitely looks like food from another galaxy. In truth, it’s more like cauliflower and broccoli’s flashy Italian cousin. Though native to Italy, it’s grown commercially in California, too. It tastes like a milder and nuttier version of cauliflower and can be prepared in similar ways: Slice, chop, or break it into florets, then roast, steam, or stir-fry it. Or serve it raw with dip for a truly stellar (some might even say interstellar) veggie tray.…

#GIVINGTUESDAY, the fifth annual global day of giving, is on Nov. 29 this year. With little more than a hashtag and a dedicated date, the event uses social media and human generosity to support important causes locally and all around the world. The idea is simple: People donate or pledge to donate their time, money, or talent, and give a hashtagged shout-out about it on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving. Launched in 2012 by the 92nd Street YMCA in New York City to let volunteers help with more than soup kitchens, it has become a kind of counterbalance to Black Friday and Cyber Monday. And it’s gone global, with more than 40,000 partners in 71 countries, 1.3 million social media mentions, 114 billion global impressions, and an estimated 470 percent increase…

Cooking with maple syrup For every cup of granulated sugar in a recipe, you can use 1 cup pure maple syrup. Baking with maple syrup When substituting maple syrup for sugar in cakes or other baked goods, reduce the other liquid in the recipe slightly, add a pinch of baking soda, and lower your oven temp by 25°F. Storing maple syrup Opened bottles keep up to one year in the fridge and almost indefinitely in the freezer. In fact, the freezer’s a very good place to store it if you buy more than you can use in a year, as maple syrup doesn’t freeze solid. Take the container out, let it warm slightly, pour out what you need, and return the rest to the freezer.…
