We love us some infographics, especially ones that can hang in your kitchen both as art and practical reminders. Butter, hard and soft cheese, yogurt, milk, and other staples are included in the list, along with a handy leftover primer listing mac and cheese and pizza!
How long will chicken stay fresh in the refrigerator? How long can you keep grapes on the countertop? Is it okay to freeze cucumbers? There is a certain amount of common sense when determining if a given...
We've heard of sour beers that utilize traditional wine-making techniques, but actually combining an IPA with wine? That's taking it to the next level! This week, Dogfish Head Craft Brewed Ales (based out of Delaware) released their first new year-round offering since 2007: Sixty One. By pairing the dry and hoppy flavors of their original Sixty-Minute IPA with Syrah from California, Dogfish Head has...
Which frozen mac and cheese variety tastes restaurant-fresh, and which was dubbed a "gloppy mess?" In a pasta showdown, the staff at The Huffington Post got cheesed out on 10 popular brands to see which frozen mac reigned supreme.
We know we say this as a disclaimer to many of our taste tests, but despite our affinity for cooking and good intentions, sometimes we just need dinner in 5 minutes, and we don't have the energy to make it. That's when we thank...
Cheese lover and blogger Madame Fromage gives us a glimpse into the amazing pairings that were available at Brewer' s Plate, a gathering of brewers and local food makers. Of course, she gave special attention to the artisan cheese makers present. Cheers!
Sunday night brought out the beards and bellies for Brewer’s Plate 2013. I put on loose-fitting pants and grabbed Monsieur Fromage for a promenade around the National Constitution Center, a space where civic...
As we slowly creep toward spring and its warm weather, leafy greens are a sight for sore eyes at the dinner table. Today, Shutterbean offers a pizza topped with mounds of arugula to satisfy that spring green craving, but with the warmth of melted cheese and roasted tomatoes for those of us who still need a little warmth in our evening meals. Throw in a pesto sauce, and this pizza couldn't possibly be any more delicious.
I think this pizza is practically salad. Pesto...
You're never too old for mac and cheese, of course, but there comes a point when your adult sensibilities long for something more elegant than limp noodles with flourescent orange cheese product. How about this gorgeous mac with oh-so-sophisticated Gruyere, sun-dried tomatoes, and Prosciutto? Add multigrain pasta to the mix for a mac and cheese that's wholesome and delicious.
I really think there’s a child that resides in all of us, just wanting to be...
The Daily Meal's Cheese of the Week is Truffle Tremor, a soft, bloomy-rind chevre infused with black summer truffles. Truffle Tremor comes from Cypress Grove, known primarily for Humboldt Fog, where it was created essentially by accident when founder Mary Keehn took an unsuccessful truffle chevre and inoculated it with mold, turning the failed cheese into a bloomy-rind fresh-ripened cheese. Today's Truffle Tremor is a perfected version of that formula-- an earthy, creamy chevre with...

As they pray and sing, the nuns of New Skete in upstate New York bake, freeze and ship 13 flavors of cheesecake. Instead of a kitchen with stolid-faced women, the ladies are a merry bunch. Their cheesecake making derives from joy and spirituality. Says Sister Cecelia Harvey, "Can you not be aware of God while you’re putting cheese in a bowl and mixing things up?"
At first, the prep work for 200 four-pound cheesecakes in the sunny, commercial kitchen seemed...
You may recall the announcement of Ommegang's Game of Thrones Beer a short while ago. Well, the beer, aptly named "Iron Throne Blonde Ale," is officially on the market, and the folks over at the Huffington Post gave it a taste test.
But first, the nuts and bolts of the beer: Ommegang's brewers developed the Iron Throne Blonde Ale as a fermented stand-in for evil House Lannister, the family that ruled Westeros at...
