Kitchen Tip of the Day: Mayonnaise
Homemade mayonnaise has a milder, more neutral flavor than the store-bought varieties, and can be customized to meet your tastes. 1. Mayonnaise is simply an emulsion of oil and egg yolks, with a little acidity and salt added to brighten the flavors. To make 1 cup of mayonnaise you will need:

Kitchen Tip of the Day: Marinating
What is the best way to marinate? The main role of marinades is to add flavor to food. A plain grilled chicken breast tastes pretty good, but a grilled chicken breast that’s been bathed in an orange, ginger and sesame marinade for a few hours tastes absolutely spectacular! The kinds of flavors you can add to your marinade are only as limited as your imagination and the contents of your...

“Revenge,” and Some Hamptons Dishes Best Served...
I must say, I’m pretty impressed with the progress that’s been made leading up to tonight’s finale of Revenge. Emily has taken down a handful of the people who framed her father, brought the Graysons pretty darn close to their breaking point, and discovered who actually killed her father—if they wanted to torture viewers, they could’ve stretched that into three seasons, easy. But, there’s still a...

What's Hot in the Kitchen This Week?
A lot of moms were served eggs Benedict on Mother’s Day! Page views for this term jumped dramatically last week compared with the previous week, based on searches both leading to and within Allrecipes.com. There are a zillion stories out there about the origin of this breakfast and brunch favorite but for sure, it’s an American original. The tale heard most often is that in the 1860s, Mr. and Mrs....

Kitchen Tip of the Day: Cracking Pie Dough
Problem: The dough cracks when I try to roll it The dough is either too dry or too cold.
Fix: If it seems to be crumbling apart, work a few sprinkles of water into it—a squeeze bottle works well—but try to handle it as little as possible. If it merely cracks at the edges when you run the rolling pin over it, it probably just needs to warm up a little. Allow it to sit on the counter...

Kitchen Tip of the Day: Perfect Potato Salad
Pick a Potato Don’t overlook the most essential part of your potato salad: the spuds!
Among the best varieties for potato salad are Yellow Finn, Yukon Gold, and red potatoes. Their high moisture content will give them a more pleasant texture when cold, and their waxier flesh holds up better to chopping and to tossing with dressing than drier, more mealy potatoes, like Russets.
If you...

What's Hot in the Kitchen This Week?
Mint juleps and margaritas were HUGE last week! Of course, that’s because of the Kentucky Derby and Cinco de Mayo. That totally cool Mexican-inspired holiday even had its own holiday page on Allrecipes. (Love the “how to” video there for making fish tacos! Take a look! It’s just what I needed to try making these.) May 5th festivities also made a chicken enchilada recipe the...

[Iron Man to Captain America:] “You ever tried Shawarma? There’s a shawarma joint about two blocks from here. I don’t know...

How I Met Your Mother Love-Fest
In a word, this show is about one thing: Love.—And where each character is with it. Let’s recap:
Ted: Wants it, hasn’t found it yet. Barney: Never wanted it, seems to have found it. Lilly and Marshall: In it, getting ready to shower their baby with it. Robin: Scared of it, yet doesn’t exactly seem to not want it, but tends to sabotage it…yeah, this one’s complicated.
Regardless of all the...
