The basics of kitchen tools

 Cooking is harder than ordering takeout, or microwaving a frozen entree, or having your parents cook for you. It takes a financial investment, lots of practice, time, and patience. Why do it? Well, first off, and this is gonna sound simple-minded but stick with me: cooking is attractive. Like playing guitar, it demonstrates your prowess with your hands, your sophisticated knowledge of an art form and is a demonstrable value to look for in a partner. But it goes deeper than that. Cooking is a shared experience, a way to express yourself to someone you care about. That someone could even be yourself. Cooking is a physically and mentally healthy outlet and hobby. Just like learning guitar, you're not going to be a rockstar right out of the gate; you need to learn the how and why of what makes a great meal, why one flavor works when another fails, why food behaves the way it does. The basics. Welcome to Basics With Babish, a new series designed to help grow your confidence in the kitc...

20 Best comfort foods across the globe

 Herrine Ro: In these stressful and uncertain times of quarantine, people from all over the world are seeking comfort in food. Comfort food can fix any bad day. It's typically high in sugar, fat, and/or salt. And the beauty of comfort food is that it varies from person to person. It's rooted in where you're from and who you grew up with. We asked 20 people from different cultural backgrounds to share what comfort food is to them. I'll start with mine. My favorite comfort food is kimchi jjigae, or kimchi stew. I'm Korean American, and, growing, up my mom made kimchi jjigae pretty often for dinner. My mom's kimchi jjigae has that son-mat. Son-mat in Korean means, like, hand taste. The best way I can describe it is my mom's special touch. Even if I try to make my mom's kimchi jjigae here in New York City, I can't get that taste because it lacks my mom's special touch. So, basically, the flavors that you're getting are, like, spicy, salty, fatty,...

Brain power boosting foods

 The 10 Best Foods To Boost Brain Power and Improve Memory You know that how you eat can affect your body, but what you put in your mouth also affects your mood, your brain’s energy, your memory, and even your ability to handle stress, complex problems, or simple daily tasks! Though your brain weighs only 2% of your body weight, it consumes 20% of the calories you eat! And the more nutrients you eat, the sharper your brain works. So, to be naturally brainy, eat the following foods liberally! Number 1 - Legumes Legumes are an excellent source of complex carbohydrates! These complex carbohydrates are also mixed with fiber that slow down absorption, providing a steady supply of glucose to the brain without the risks of sugar spikes associated with many other sugar sources. Legumes are also rich in folate — a B vitamin critical to brain function! Number 2 - Mint Mint is a good source of vitamin A and vitamin C. Vitamin A can help boost learning skills and increase brain plasticity, whi...

Food to cure anxiety and depression

 - Hey, munchies, welcome to the channel. If you're new or if you're not, I'm Alyssia, and I am stoked you're here either way. Today, we are talking about mental health and if the food we eat impacts our mental health. Spoiler, it does. Anxiety is on the rise in the U.S., and it doesn't have to be classified as a mental condition for you to feel anxiety. It's a disorder characterized by persistent worry and nervousness. And there is a spectrum, so you can feel different levels of anxiety at different times, and different circumstances may need different approaches for treatment and healing. I am a huge fan of therapy and ensuring that we prioritize our mental health as much as physical. So for sure, consult a professional if you think you need one. I am not here to diagnose or prescribe any foods or diet for anxiety treatment, but rather to help bring awareness to some of the foods that may be contributing to anxiety from what research is showing us, as well as ...
