#FoodTip: A good sweet potato is heavy for its size and free from any signs of shriveling, soft, or moldy spots. Otherwise, it’s pretty tough to tell a great sweet potato from a mediocre one—size, sheen, and color are not necessarily reliable indicators of density and sweetness.
“I crawled into the vegetable bin, settled on a giant onion and ate it, skin and all. It must have marked me for life for I have never ceased to love the hearty flavor of onions.”
— James Beard, American chef and food writer
As the saying goes, nothing is more American than apple pie! This classic dessert is especially good when made with different kinds of apples. A traditional pairing is a wedge of aged Cheddar cheese—the sharper, the better. Or, the classic scoop of vanilla ice cream!
Fresh shell beans shouldn't be eaten raw or even nibbled on while being prepared for cooking because they contain PHA, a natural plant toxin that can cause severe illness. Kidney beans contain the highest levels of PHA, while favas and soybeans do not contain any!
“Let us be many-sided! Turnips are good, but they are best mixed with chestnuts. And these two noble products of the earth grow far apart.”
— Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, German polymath
Although we often associate sweet potatoes with dishes flavored with maple syrup, cinnamon, and marshmallows, don’t be afraid to try them with savory ingredients too, like horseradish, black pepper, chiles, and leafy greens. #CookingTips
“What I say is that, if a man really likes potatoes, he must be a pretty decent sort of fellow.” - A.A. Milne, author of Winnie-the-Pooh
