    What’s the Secret Behind Achieving the Perfect Roast for Coffee Beans?

    1. The Essence of Roasting: A Transformative Process At its core, roasting is a transformative process that unlocks the full potential of coffee beans. Raw green beans are hard, grassy, and devoid of the flavours and aromas we associate with coffee. The roasting process is where the magic happens, catalyzing chemical reactions that turn these humble beans into aromatic powerhouses. As the beans heat up, moisture evaporates, and sugars caramelize, creating the complex flavors and enticing aromas we crave. 2. The Role of Time and Temperature The heart of achieving the perfect roast is finding the delicate balance between time…

For that, we have to hearken back to the First Golden Age of the Apple, the 1700s and 1800s, when more than 7,000 varieties graced American farms, many of them selected specifically for their pie prowess. Although these varieties are hard to find in supermarkets, they are increasingly common at farmers markets, farmstands,…

    The Easiest Way to Turn Leftover Veggies Into Dinner

    This week, Terrence is fresh off a trip to New York City, where he wandered through the famous Union Square Greenmarket and left with a tote bag full of produce: basil, broccoli, sweet peppers, and more. Instead of committing to one rigid recipe, he turned his haul into a puff pastry tart that’s more blueprint than prescription. Think of it as a delicious way to use up whatever’s hanging out in your CSA box or farmers market haul. The foundation is simple: store-bought puff pastry, ricotta, herbs, and vegetables. From there, the options are endless—swap in different greens, roastier alliums,…
