Blog Post & Video: How to Peel Ginger

All those little nooks and nubs make peeling ginger with a paring knife a veritable nightmare. Think of the waste! Intolerable. So Amanda dreamt up a trick that requires nothing more than a small spoon and Merrill has a hand at demonstration: you use the spoon's edge to quickly scrape away the root's surprisingly thin skin. It's so safe you could even enlist the wee folk for this task!

I've worked my way through a stack of garlic soup recipes over the years. Some clipped from magazines or torn from newspapers, others scribbled in shorthand on scraps of paper.

Article & Recipes: A chef perfects the paleta of childhood (via the Kitchn)

What makes a Mexican ice pop - called a paleta - different from an American one is the flavor. Paletas can be either savory or sweet, and they can include such ingredients as tamarind with chile, cucumber with lime, salted plum, rose petal, hibiscus tea and even tequila.
