Tortilla makes easy work of veggie pizza
I have a couple of recipes involving white chocolate, but I can't find a good white-chocolate bar in a regular supermarket. Any recommendations for brands that are relatively easy to find?
Try Valrhona or Ghirardelli. If they aren't available, look for bars with as few ingredients as possible (such as extra fats). You want to taste the white chocolate, not fillers.
Is it possible to make 100 percent whole-grain sourdough breads that have only a mild sour taste? I am a passionate home baker milling my own flour from locally grown heirloom wheat, and taming the sour is an ongoing challenge.
The more often you refresh your sourdough, the milder it becomes. Make sure when refreshing often (say every four hours) that the levain is fully fermenting or else you will lose the balance and potency of the microorganisms that are leavening your bread. — Jonathan Bethony
I have the carcass from a turkey in my freezer. Ideally, I'd like to use my slow cooker.
I make stock with just the bones and scraps in a pot; cover with water and boil. That way, it's just stockflavored and can be adapted for any recipe. I use the pressure cooker (two stints at 50 minutes each, to really break it down), but a slow cooker works fine, too. Let it go all day. You will be so glad you did the next time you make a soup or stew.
Here’s a vegetarian pizza the whole family will love, and it takes less time than sending out for one.
I used a wholewheat flour tortilla as the base for this quick pizza. It provides an ultra-thin crust allowing the toppings to be featured.
Any type of vegetables can be used for the pizza. Use the amounts in the recipe as a guideline.

From the
Heat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking tray, large enough to hold the 2 tortillas, with foil and place in oven while it is preheating.
Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the eggplant, onion, zucchini and green bell pepper. Sprinkle the oregano and salt and pepper to taste on top. Saute 5 minutes.
Place the tortillas on the baking tray in the oven for 1 to 2 minutes. They should be golden and crisp. Remove the tray from the oven and spread the pizza sauce over the 2 tortillas.
Place the sauteed vegetables over the sauce. Place the shredded mozzarella over the vegetables. Return the tray to the oven for 5 minutes or until the mozzarella melts.

— Simran Sethi Q:
continually improving Cotes du Roussillon Villages appellation, this is a modestly priced red of rather imposing structure; it’s produced by Michel Chapoutier, a scion of the famous Rhone wine family. Think roasted red meats, steaks, roast turkey with a pungent stuffing, well-aged cheddar. A best buy.
