Thank god for Carla. Sheās back with a new oven, a new menu, a new bread delivery system, and best of all, focaccia subscriptions. If you havenāt tried Carlaās focaccia, prepare to be ruined for all others-- yes even Superiority Burgerās. Itās thiccc (yes, with three cās), plush, perfectly salted and just a little tangy from her glorious sourdough starter. Weāve shared her recipe before on Sifted but if you, like me, canāt keep a starter alive long enough to name it, leave it to the pro. The Castlevetrano olive loaf holds a special place in my brine-obsessed heart, but I am extremely excited to try her newest flavor, grape & zaāatar from Home Spice. And I would be remiss if I didnāt just give a moment of awe for Carlaās rye crumb cake. She's an icon, she's a legend, and she is the moment, now come on now!

its seriously the easiest bread to make and itās the only one imo that is minimum effort and maximum reward. I LOVE YOU FOCACCIA BREAD ā¤ļø heres my favourite recipe too!
Also if your feeling freaky get into decorating that shit. I get those edible flowers (nasturtiums) and some leaves and shit and make a little garden.

āļæ½Iāve been loving Natasha Pickowiczās DEMI chat, Never Ending Salon, for a myriad of reasons (and recipes), but by far the best takeaway so far has been this recipe divider. As you may know, Gaby and I are not always the best recipe followers; we substitute, halve, brown, and salt with reckless abandon. Iām a firm believer in experimentation, but this tool helps guarantee the things in the recipe that make it work (like leavinings, salt and seasoning levels, ratios of fat sources) stay the same, guaranteeing success no matter how sparse your cookware collection. Not only can you halve or third or quarter recipes (very pandemic-friendly if youāre cooking for a small pod), you can even adjust them to different pan sizes. No more wondering if itās really a big deal if you only have a pie dish and a 9ā springform but the recipe calls for two 6ā cake pans, and no more raw centers (hereās lookinā at you, Gab!)

šæIf you, like me, take popcorn very seriously, you simply must try Anson Millsā popcorn. It is the first popcorn Iāve tasted that truly tastes like-- get this-- corn! Itās subtly sweet and toasty and nuanced in ways that Iāve never tasted from the popped stuff. Rancho Gordo popcorn is also tasty and a very dramatic color, but Anson Mills is on another level. As for popping, you canāt go wrong with the absolute game changer that is a Whirley Pop. Despite its goofy name and the annoying amount of cupboard space it occupies, it makes perfect popcorn. Every. Single. Time. No burnt pieces, no kernel left unpopped. And when theyāre the best kernels you wonāt want to waste any. From there, I adorn mine with a copious amount of salt, olive oil, and nutritional yeast or fresh parm. If itās the fake butter youāre craving, may I suggest Butter Budsā¢? Theyāre little butter-flavored granules I first had in grade school popcorn parties, and have loved for their unabashed artificiality ever since.

šÆI aspire to fill my home with food, and also with things that look like food but are decidedly not food. From corn cob stools to garlic pillows to bread lamps, I want it all. Until I have a home, or museum to house all these objects, Iāll continue on a small scale, building my collection of John Derianās uncanny trompe lāoeil candles. Next up on my wish list are the Fruit Crostata and the Capocollo, naturally.
