Cook's Country Tips

I love everything from America's Test Kitchen - doesn't everyone?

I wrote these tips down while perusing my mom's collection of that awesome magazine.

Hand diced tomatoes will fall apart while canned diced will keep shape.

Refined coconut oil = veggie shortening

Clumps in flour dip for fried foods makes extra crispy crunch.




Fish

White fish are delicate types, including sole, cod, grouper, haddock, hake, halibut, poll, and
and flounder (bottom dweller, not kosher).

Make PIZZA MONKEY BREAD.  Mmm, pepperoni.  Also, hasty pudding and apple flan.


New ideas:

Think of food that hide (like the book, Deceptively Delicious)
Potatoes (veggies)
Salads
Ground meat (liver)


Biscuits and gravy (what to do with a large batch of breakfast sausage )


Berry season: make salads with them
