Meal Prep
Tomato Water
Though this pale-orange liquid may not look terribly impressive, its flavor is the very essence of tomato. In addition to using it as a base for soup, we treat it almost like lemon juice, adding a dash here and there to any of our summer recipes that call for a little extra zest.
Old-Fashioned Strawberry Preserves
This simple, delicious treat is excellent spread over scones or toast and comes together in practically no time at all.
Almond Crust
This recipe was created to be used for Fresh Plum Frangipane Tart , Strawberry-Lemon Tartlets and Mixed Nut Tartlets .
To Temper Chocolate
In this procedure we used a metal bowl that fits snugly on top of a saucepan, but a double boiler will also work.
Hot Chutney
This recipe was created to accompany Crudités and Grilled Sausages with Sweet and Hot Chutneys.
Kansas City Steak Sauce
An easy homemade barbecue sauce makes anything you grill taste even better! Makes lots since it keeps for weeks in the refrigerator.

Porcini Butter
Beurre composé, or compound butter—butter creamed with various flavorings—is a classic French accompaniment, used to top anything from broiled steak or fish to steamed vegetables. Compound butter can be frozen and a few slices cut off whenever the need arises.
