If you're laboring over a package of fresh chicken, wondering if you should wash it or not, the science is pretty clear. While raw chicken can cause food-borne illness, particularly cold E coli if consumed without cooking thoroughly, washing chicken before cooking won't make it any safer. The USDA suggests that the opposite is true and that washing your chicken could increase the risk of foodborne illness via cross-contamination.

Should You Rinse Chicken Before Cooking It?

Get those beautiful summer berries to go the extra mile with an easy wash of vinegar diluted in water. For every 10 fresh berries you manage to pop into your mouth and enjoy, there are approximately two* that end up covered in fuzzy mold in the blink of an eye. Because as juicy and delectable as fresh berries are, they're also impossibly delicate. Perhaps that's what we love about them.

My grandmother had a pillow on her sofa that read “Do not mistake endurance for hospitality.” Given the frequency with which she hosted our large family—10 adults and 11 children—it’s clear to me now that she was something of an iron woman. But like my grandmother, who never showed us any sign of frayed nerves or dwindling patience, a good host won’t just toss your bags on the porch and tell you to hit the dusty trails. Here’s how to know you’ve overstayed your welcome, even when—and especially when—a gracious host has made you feel right at home.

I was working the soups and sauces station at a popular restaurant in the late '80s when the chef handed me a recipe to make as the special of the day. The chef, who was also the owner, had lived in France and taught me to make several authentic French dishes. This one, called a pan bagnat, opened my eyes to a whole different way to sandwich.

I believe everyone should have a few “emergency” dinners that can be assembled even when the kitchen’s bare and time is short. These meals (like my favorite Trader Joe’s fried rice), should require next to no effort or thought. Bonus points if they cost less than $2 and are ready in less than 30 minutes, like Zatarain’s Red Beans and Rice Mix.

Grilling or pan searing salmon can have its challenges, including issues with overcooking and sticking to the pan or grill. Baked salmon, on the other hand, is a much more forgiving cooking method that is often lower in added fat. The problem with baking salmon is that it leaves a lot to be dsired visually. A white protein called albumin often appears on the surface of salmon that throws off the look, and it can be tricky to achieve the golden-brown caramelization that occurs with pan seared fish.

And, they're right at home here in South Carolina.

Soft-boiled eggs are not for everyone, but I prefer them over hard-boiled eggs, as the yolk is creamy and savory. If you are someone like me who loves soft-boiled eggs, you probably know how hard it is to peel. Sometimes, when I try to peel one, almost all of the egg whites stick to the shell, which can be annoying as you get less and it’s unappealing to eat.
