Been doing some web research on baking bread in a cast iron dutch oven, mainly trying to get a feel for time, temp, and technique. Will be using a long-fermented no-knead dough. In the meantime, has anyone else tried it, and have any tips to help shorten the learning curve?

I used to love all those old BBC comedy shows. The Two Ronnies, Mr. Bean, Are You Being Served?, To The Manor Born, Blackadder, Monty Python, of course. Good Neighbours might actually seem more contemporary than you would think-- it's about a guy who decides to go "off the grid", quits his...

I happened to be in Norco this past week around lunch time. The name Lovecchio's on a place on Apple Street struck a chord, as I recalled a deli of the same name on Harrison in Lakeview many years before, and I wondered if there might be a connection. A quick perusal of the menu confirmed my suspici...

Drake Dixon, aged 4 years here, appeared in the Randy Houser video for "Boots On", in which he rocked out to the song in the back seat of a car while Houser filled the gas tank. This home video purportedly precedes the music video. Drake's dad, Dillon, is a country songwriter, but not of e...

The main screen gives some broad categories (Weeknight Dinners, Cool Cocktails, Healthy Lunches, I Can Barely Cook, I Cook Like a Pro, and others). Search allows you to f...
