Kate's Cuisine

This is the way I’ve seen my mom make turkey ever since I was little; and you can put all the glazes and exotic spices that you want on a turkey and I’ll think it’s delicious (because I really love turkey a lot!) But it still won’t be as good as just slathering some butter and salt [...]

Why is cooking fish so intimidating? Is it because such bad things can happen if you don’t cook it all the way through? Or is it because it’s so easy to overcook? Maybe it’s because so often we simply don’t know what to do with it! Sometimes, you don’t have to do anything at all [...]
