| Our Best Goat Cheese Appetizers for One Heck of a Party Posted: 03 Dec 2021 02:25 PM PST We've partnered with California cheese maker Cypress Grove to highlight creative ways to incorporate one of our favorite ingredients—goat cheese, like their award-winning Humboldt Fog—into your holiday party spread. I am a cheese person. Put a plate of gooey macaroni and cheese, a slice of pizza with extra mozzarella, or creamy cheese dip in front of me and I'll choose that over just about anything else. So when the holiday season rolls around, it's only natural that I turn to my most beloved ingredient when planning a party menu. But while all cheeses are equally perfect in my eyes, during the more festive months, one in particular stands above the rest for its versatility: goat cheese. |
| 3 Ways to Remove Pesky Heat Stains From Wood Furniture Posted: 03 Dec 2021 12:42 PM PST Hosting season is upon us, and as fun as it can be to have your house act as the hub of all holiday commotion and gathering, it does come with a few perils, too—mainly for your furniture and decor. From Aunt Jean spilling her wine on your brand new rug (ugh!) to your favorite platter meeting an untimely death at the hands of a "helpful" kiddo, it's not uncommon to head into January with a few bumps and bruises around your house from all the entertaining you've done. One of the most annoying? Heat stains on your wood furniture. Here's how it happens: As sides are passed around at dinner, they're often set down on the bare wood of your table without a second thought—even if you had good intentions and paired them with a stylish trivet at the start. Tablecloths are great, but most are thin and can't protect your beloved mahogany dining table from the damage caused by a steaming ceramic dish filled with green bean casserole. The next thing you know, you're cleaning up post-party only to spot numerous crop circle-like stains on the surface of your wood. The culprit? Heat. |
| 19 Decor Gifts for That Someone Who Just Can’t Stop Redecorating Posted: 03 Dec 2021 12:00 PM PST You know that friend or relative who's constantly talking about needing to redecorate? Maybe they're pinning ideas with reckless abandon while giving you the play-by-play, or constantly discussing color palettes, fabric swatches, and throw pillows, but haven't yet acted on any of it. Well, this gift guide is for them. Each of these pieces—from a handwoven, fiber-art wall hanging to a backgammon set that doubles as a cool coffee table accent—will elevate a room instantly and might even kickstart their revamp. Just wait—you'll be kicking back in their newly decorated space soon enough. |
| 32 Best Artificial Christmas Trees That Bring the Holiday Cheer Posted: 03 Dec 2021 11:00 AM PST For many who celebrate, the Christmas tree is the centerpiece of the holiday season. We've all got different ceremonies for lighting it, traditions for decorating it, and rituals for perfectly wrapped presents beneath its branches. While plenty still cherish the wintry smell of real spruce, pine, or fir, others are taking the artificial route—which definitely eliminate the mess left by a real one. The debate about which is more sustainable is still up in the air, but if you invest in an artificial tree that you use year after year, you won't be in the wrong. Plus, it's a one-time expense, rather than an annual one. |
| 11 Common Cookie Mistakes We’ll Never Make Again Posted: 03 Dec 2021 08:08 AM PST From now through the end of December, there will be more cookies baked than any other time of the year. Okay, I don't actually have the stats to back it up, but it makes sense right? From Emma Laperruque's Latke Cookies to Dorie Greenspan's World Peace Cookies to basic sugar cookies, Russian Tea Cakes, gingerbread boys and girls, and shortbread, there are so many—and I mean so many—cookie recipes to bake. But in the midst of the holiday hullabaloo, there are bound to be a few errors too. I turned to five pro bakers to find out what the most common cookie mistakes among home bakers are. From Our Shop 1. Not Reading the RecipeAre you thinking to yourself, "duh?" I know. I thought the same thing. But Sarah Kieffer, baking blogger and author of the recently published, 100 Cookies: The Baking Book for Every Kitchen, says that more bakers than you'd think (including the pros!) quickly skim a recipe—or don't read it at all. "Cookies often seem like something simple or easy to bake, and often it is assumed that cookie recipe directions are all similar in nature. An example is what I myself did the other day—I glanced over the recipe, threw the butter in the stand mixer bowl and started mixing, only to then realize I was supposed to brown the butter, let it come to room temperature, and then mix it," says Kieffer. |
| A Vintage-Filled Home in Hong Kong, Dressed for the Holidays Posted: 03 Dec 2021 05:30 AM PST Home for the Holidays is a special series featuring our favorite food and home experts and their diverse homes—and holidays—from around the world. From Los Angeles to Mumbai and Hong Kong, we get a peek at how each family approaches the most special of seasons—in a way that's uniquely theirs. The holidays permit Food52 Resident—and conjurer of community favorites like this recipe for an instant dan dan noodle mix and this one for the flakiest pastry—Mandy Lee, to make one important concession at home: she allows help. While cooking for Mandy is a fiercely guarded solitary sport, bringing the holidays to her home lets her drop her guard. "I don't even mind delegating or outsourcing some of the process—although my husband might disagree." |
