How to Make Your Own Tortillas
Edit Article Two Methods:Flour TortillasCorn TortillasCommunity Q&A Nothing tastes better than fresh tortillas! If you dislike those leathery ones often found in the grocery store that tear when you wrap them and get soggy when you add ingredients to them, then you can easily make your own. Soggy and leathery is not authentic and definitely not worth it. Homemade corn or flour tortillas are much more delicious, and are a smarter choice as you know exactly what is going in them.

Kvell in the Kitchen: Sweet and Smoky Beet Burgers
This Sweet and Smoky Beet Burger recipe comes straight out of my newly purchased cookbook, The New Persian Kitchen by Louisa Shafia. Believe it or not, I’m not a big cookbook buyer: I guess I can partially blame this on the lack of storage space in my closet of an apartment, but mostly it’s because I seek out a lot of my recipes from cooking websites and blogs. (Plus my two staple cookbooks, The Moosewood Cookbook and American Medical Association’s Family Health Cookbook, are so wonderfully comprehensive.) That being said, what drove me to purchase The New Persian Kitchen? Specifically, to pre-order and carry home upon its arrival, hugged tightly in my arms, like a proud, excited child who had just acquired her very first homework assignment? The descriptors in this recipe title —sweet and smoky—hold a clue. Case in point: these delicious burgers! This recipe makes 8 servings.
How to Make Strawberry Jam: Hot Damn, This is Good Jam
Learning how to make strawberry jam is one of the most rewarding life skills on the planet. Why? Homemade strawberry jam is nectar of the gods. Better than chocolate and almost as divine as my mother-in-law’s cherry cheesecake. It’s our second year making jam. This year we headed out to a little farm in Amherstburg, Ontario that sells pick-your-own pesticide-free strawberries. The night after berry picking, we hulled the berries. The next morning we set up a canning station in the kitchen. Here is our step-by-step tutorial: How to Make Stawberry Jam (Sans Pectin) Or Hot Damn, This is Good Jam A Word of Caution: If you let your friends and family sample this stuff, be prepared to lock your cupboards. Update: 4/18/10 – How do you know if your jam is ready to pour into jars? Ingredients (Makes approximately 10 250 ml jars depending how long you boil the strawberries.) 13 cups of fresh strawberries (about 4.5 lbs) 6 cups of sugar ½ cup of lemon juice (we used organic lemons.) Equipment Voila!
Classic Scones
340g all-purpose flour20g baking powder1/2 tsp salt50g unsalted butter, diced80g caster sugar100ml milk3 large eggs60g raisins or sultanas Preheat the oven to 390 (365 fan) and line a baking tray with parchment paper. In a medium bowl whisk the flour, baking powder and salt together. Add the diced butter and using your fingers or a pastry blender rub in the butter until it resembles fine breadcrumbs. Mix in the sugar then make a well in the middle and pour in the milk, two of the eggs and the raisins. Using a wooden spoon mix together until it just comes together to form a soft wet dough. Tip the dough out onto a well floured surface and gently knead by folding the dough in half and then turning through 45 degrees and repeating until the dough is smooth. Lightly flour the surface of the dough and roll out to about 2.5cm inch thick. Best served warm with clotted cream and jam.
Coffee Power to the People
“A barista can only fuck it up.” A bold statement surely, from someone who by the way pays his rent and buys his food with the money he makes pressing shots at an espresso bar. But as befitting the Dutchman who said it (Olivier Vos: buzzcut, with thick glasses, and a determined enthusiasm that would take apart a floor in order to fix loose grout), there is a tremendous amount of logic to what sounds initially like a blustery provocation. Coffee – even the finest, most confident, most edifying – is still just roasted beans and water. There are three young men in the Netherlands who want to take the barista, whom they see as a part-TEDx presenter, part-birthday magician, out of the equation. They want people to make their own coffee, and to make coffee they can be proud of. Okay, so it might be a bit more complicated than that. You see, the protagonist of the story of the Netherlands isn’t William of Orange, Johan Cruijff, or Vincent van Gogh. The Dutch trio. So what changed?

She, I mean my mother — (Liza hates to be referred to as a pronoun) — has been telling me to make this cake for years, well at least since 2004, when the New York Times printed the recipe.
