In the past few years, we’ve seen geometric accent walls , '80s-inspired colors, and all things squiggly soar with viral popularity, but peter out almost as quickly as they arrived. While those trends faded, others were establishing themselves as interior mainstays, like layered neutrals, zellige tile , and of course, cane furniture. Woven textures are as classic as it gets so it should come as no surprise that cane furniture has remained so popular. Cane, in particular, has reigned supreme, possibly for its ability to blend in with so many different decor styles and design eras.

There's no way around it: making pizza is hard! Take it from me—a lifelong cook from one pizza hotspot (New Haven adjacent) now living in another pizza mecca (New York City) who's eaten vast and varied slices in her hay day and still can only muster up ho-hum dough slabs in her home kitchen. It takes time, effort, and patience, and pop culture presents this notion that you have to drop everything to become a pizza maker's apprentice in Italy in order to learn all the secrets. As alluring as that sounds, I can’t just hop on a plane tomorrow, so I did the next best thing and consulted a few NYC-based pizza pros to let me in on a few tips and tools that at-home enthusiasts need to mix, proof, bake, and slice some pretty incredible pies. Their recommendations range between simple tools like squeeze bottles and investment pieces like the Baking Steel . If you already cook and bake like clockwork, there’s a good chance you already have some of the essentials. And if you don’t...

But it also produces some of our favorite foods like fried dough , french fries, pizza fritte , arancini , and fried chicken cutlets . You don’t actually need to own a deep-fryer in order to successfully fry; a heavy-bottomed bottom like a Dutch oven will do the trick, plus a spider or small metal mesh strainer for carefully removing the fried goods, and oil. When you finally find the courage to plunge your food into hot oil, you only get one shot, and have to watch it like a hawk. We want to equip ourselves with the best frying medium to ensure food comes out as delicately crunchy and not as blackened crisps. Read More >> from Food52 https://ift.tt/3yScL5J
