On the set of @foodnetwork @buddyvalastro Cooks v

On the set of @foodnetwork @buddyvalastro Cooks vs. Cons. The director asked us to pause and look at our finished dish for a few seconds while the camera panned. ⁣
⁣
We had literally just finished a cooking marathon, and I remember thinking to myself, “I can’t believe I just flipping did that!!!” What a great moment.⁣
⁣
In addition to all of your favorite @hgtv @foodnetwork and @discovery network shows (I’m so in love with @magnolianetwork right now, btw), @discoveryplus is streaming every season of Cooks vs. Cons, including season 2, episode 10, Pizza Pizzazz.⁣
⁣
Spoiler alert. I won. 😉⁣

The old “oil or cream” commercial is back on t

The old “oil or cream” commercial is back on the air, leading you to believe that whipped cream in a can is somehow better and healthier. 🤬⁣
⁣
It’s not. ⁣
⁣
Because I follow the path least processed, I say absolutely no way to the can. Here’s why:⁣
⁣
“cream, water, sugar, corn syrup, nonfat milk, less than 2% of mono- and diglycerides, natural flavor, carrageenan. propellant: nitrous oxide”⁣
⁣
Whipped cream should have three ingredients or less... cream, and if you’d like, sugar and vanilla. ⁣
⁣
That’s it. ⁣
⁣
Be sure to read the labels on your store bought heavy cream, as some brands contain gums and additives to keep the cream from separating, to extend the shelf life, and/or make a cheaper product. Remember, the more additives and junk listed on the ingredient label, the less cream is in the container. Look for heavy cream that⁣
⁣
👉 is organic⁣
👉 as local as possible⁣
👉 does not contain gums⁣
⁣
Heavy cream should only be heavy cream.⁣

It was 39 F when I woke up this morning; It’s 48 right now. In Orlando. ❄️⁣
⁣
For a few weeks out of the year, we can get some pretty wild cold snaps. While short-lived, they certainly make this Rhode Island native nostalgic for cold-weather comfort food.⁣
⁣
Tonight I roasted organic cauliflower with a cheesy, creamy sauce, kissed with a touch of nutmeg. ⁣
⁣
If soup is more your speed when the weather changes, this could easily be whirled up in a blender or food processor for a cheesy cauliflower soup. 💗⁣

We ate the last of the Thanksgiving leftovers today, and I had been craving something light and healthy after all of the heavy treats.⁣
⁣
Fresh vegetable juice was top of mind.⁣
⁣
If you don’t have a juicer, a blender and fine mesh strainer will do. 🥕⁣

It’s not the cookbook I ever thought I’d write

It’s not the cookbook I ever thought I’d write. But it’s the right one to write, right now.⁣
⁣
I wouldn’t consider myself a baker, but like many of you who found yourselves with a lot of extra time on your hands from COVID layoffs, I fully immersed myself in the process.⁣
⁣
My process is a little different though, because I have a gazillion food allergies and intolerances. ⁣
⁣
It’s why I switched careers. It’s why I became a chef. It’s why I became a nutrition expert. ⁣
⁣
In addition to legumes, tree nuts, and (most recently) cassava and date allergies, I’m severely gluten intolerant. I swell up. My ear canals and nasal passages become blocked. My vision becomes blurry. I forget things. My speech becomes slurred. I develop a slight lisp. Sometimes I feel dizzy. Sometimes I feel tingly. Sometimes I feel lethargic and have to close my eyes.⁣
⁣
Needless to say, the stuff affects me greatly, neurologically, so I avoid it as much as possible.⁣
⁣
I’ve spent the last several months testing and testing and testing gluten-free flour blends that are easy to make at home, with minimal ingredients, minimal binders, and without highly processed xanthan gum. ⁣
⁣
On November 18th, I wrote, “I DID IT!” on a piece of notebook paper. And then I cried because I was so excited.⁣
⁣
I’ve written almost 100 baking recipes so far, all of them gluten-free versions of your favorite breads and sweets, so you can eat what you love.⁣
⁣
More soon. 💗⁣

Happy Thanksgiving Eve! So, that trick I mentioned

Happy Thanksgiving Eve! So, that trick I mentioned yesterday for quickly thawing the turkey... 𝗽𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗶𝗿𝗱 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗮𝘁𝗵𝘁𝘂𝗯.⁣
⁣
I know. It sounds crazy, but it's what we do in restaurants. We of course use a really big, deep sink, and not a bathtub, but it's the same concept. If you have a utility sink or similar at home, you can use that. Otherwise, a clean bathtub will do!⁣
⁣
Place the bird into a roasting pan and put the pan in the tub. Position the bird so the faucet can run cold water directly into the cavity, if you can. Let the cold water run (on low) into the bird for about two hours. ⁣
⁣
🛑 Do not use warm water - it will allow germs to rapidly grow.⁣
🛑 Do not use a hard stream of water - it will splash germs all over the bathroom.⁣
⁣
After two hours, the turkey should be thawed, or thawed enough that it can be placed in the oven. Dry off the bird, get it back into the kitchen, and into the oven. Then, sanitize the tub and surround.⁣
⁣
If the turkey is still partially frozen, you'll need to add some extra roasting time onto the back end. Check the temp in the thickest part of the dark meat. When it registers 157-160 F, it can come out of the oven. Carryover cooking will bring it up to 165.⁣
⁣
While the turkey is roasting, make the cranberry sauce. 👉 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗽𝗲 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗹𝗼𝗴, 𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗸 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗶𝗼 @𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗳𝗼𝗼𝗱⁣

Hello, friends! I know you know it's Tuesday. And

Hello, friends! I know you know it's Tuesday. And I know you know Thanksgiving is in TWO days! OMG, can you believe it?⁣
⁣
If you didn't take the turkey out of the freezer yet, don't panic. Take it out as soon as you can. If it's still frozen on Thursday morning, I'll share a thawing trick with you tomorrow that we use in restaurants. 𝗜𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘀𝘂𝗯𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗯𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗻𝗲𝘄𝘀𝗹𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿, 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝗹𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘆 𝘀𝗮𝘄 𝗶𝘁 (𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗶𝘁'𝘀 𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝗼𝗳 𝗳𝘂𝗻𝗻𝘆, 𝗯𝘂𝘁 𝗶𝘁 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝘀 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝗮 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗺!).⁣
⁣
Please. Slather this compound butter all over the turkey before you roast it. Get it under the skin, over the skin, and in all of the nooks and crannies of the cavity. It'll also make the gravy taste ah-ma-zing. ⁣
⁣
Oh, and remember to take the neck and giblets bag out of the bird, too! (Yes, on more than one Thanksgiving, I accidentally roasted that bag of giblets inside the bird, LOL.) ⁣
⁣
