10 Recipes That Are Only Popular Because of Pinterest — Pinterest

How To Make Creamy Ice Cream with Just One Ingredient

Pinterest has given momentum to a new kind of recipe – something you wouldn't find in an older cookbook. If I had to describe the ideal Pinterest recipe, I'd say the recipe would have only a few ingredients (the fewer the better); it would be easy to make; there would be a surprising twist; and it has to be photogenic. Bonus points if the recipe includes bacon, Nutella, or avocado.

These 10 recipes exemplify these points and then some. There are, of course, other trends that help these recipes to stardom – particularly paleo and gluten-free diets – but Pinterest has really pushed them over the edge. From baked eggs in avocado to two-ingredient Nutella brownies, feast your eyes on these recipes that Pinterest made into modern-day food stars.

The Obvious Secret of a Perfectly Seasoned Cast Iron Skillet — Tips from The Kitchn

Vegetarian Paella with Red Peppers and Chickpeas

Questions about taking care of cast iron skillets are some of the most frequent ones we hear from Kitchn readers — how to clean them, how to season them, what to do if someone's auntie accidentally put theirs through the dishwasher. And I get definitely get it. I was in the exact same boat when I picked up my first cast iron skillet years ago. Mine never seemed quite as shiny, as nonstick, or as super-awesome as all the blogs and websites promised, and it was extremely confusing.

I finally learned what I think is the often-overlooked, rarely mentioned secret to perfectly seasoned cast iron cookware. It's not hard or tricky, but it makes all the difference in the world.

Inspiralized by Ali Maffucci Will Have You Looking at Vegetables in a Whole New Light — Cookbook Review

• Cookbook: Inspiralized by Ali Maffucci
• Overall Impression: This cookbook will make you look at vegetables in a whole new light!

I’ve actually owned a spiralizer for over a year now. When I first purchased it, I used it a few times and then put it away because, other than spiralizing a few vegetables for fun, I didn't really know what else to do. Ali Maffucci's new book changed that in a heartbeat.

Recipe: Smoked Salmon Egg Boats — Breakfast Recipes from The Kitchn

This recipe is as fun to assemble as it is to enjoy — there's just something wonderful about hollowing out a crusty loaf of bread and filling it with fresh, springtime goodies. If smoked salmon and capers don't suit you, feel free to substitute whatever does, like crumbled bacon, tomatoes, marinated artichokes, or fresh pesto — it's hard to go wrong with egg boats.

How Do I Clean and Sanitize a Wood Cutting Board? — Good Questions

Q: My 88-year-old nana recently passed. When going through her things, I found her old solid wood cutting board under the sink. Nana had to stop cooking a good 15 years ago due to a medical situation, so under the sink the board went. When I found it I instantly remembered her using it all the time.

The Breville Boss Blender Has Bells and Whistles for Easy, Preset Blending — Product Review

Open Slideshow

Item: Breville BBL910XL Boss Easy to Use Superblender
Price: $449.99
Overall Impression: If you like lots of bells and whistles and the ability to program your powerful blender, then this is the one for you.

Blenders started out with pretty simple controls: maybe an on/off switch and a speed dial, or else a couple of speed buttons to choose from. But nowadays, preset programs and extra functions are all the rage. The Breville Boss has buttons, a dial, and a digital display, not to mention flashy accessories. Does all this add up to a better blending experience?
