Tip of the Day

“Always let your meat rest before slicing.”

Whether you're roasting a chicken, grilling steak, or baking pork tenderloin, letting cooked meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute evenly. This simple step keeps your meat juicy and tender, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Bonus: It gives you a moment to plate your sides or garnish for a perfect presentation!

The Tomato in Every Form: A Summer Obsession

Lycopene — the carotenoid responsible for the tomato’s red color and one of the most studied dietary antioxidants — is significantly more bioavailable from cooked tomatoes than from raw ones. Cooking breaks down the cell walls that contain lycopene molecules, releasing them into a form the body can absorb more effectively. Cooking with oil further enhances absorption, since lycopene is fat-soluble. Research has associated high lycopene intake with reduced risk of certain cancers, improved cardiovascular markers, and protection against UV-related skin damage. The summer habit of cooking tomatoes in olive oil — in sauces, in braises, in roasted preparations — is, nutritionally, one of the most beneficial cooking habits available in any season.
