  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • Pinch of salt

  3. In serving glasses or bowls, layer the lemon yogurt mixture.

  4. If using, add a layer of lemon curd.

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!

Kinder Bueno Just Turned Its Iconic Candy Bar Into a Frozen Cone — And It’s Already a Summer Obsession

At 220 calories and 13 grams of fat per cone, the Kinder Bueno Frozen Dessert Cone is one of the more portioned premium ice cream novelties on the market — comparable to a standard ice cream sandwich or drumstick cone. The built-in single-serve format is genuinely helpful for portion control: unlike a pint you have to stop yourself from finishing, one cone is one serving with a clear endpoint. The hazelnut base also contributes a small amount of healthy fats from actual hazelnuts in the ingredient list, making it a slightly more nutritionally interesting choice than a purely sugar-and-cream frozen novelty.

The habit of finishing dishes with fresh lemon juice, beyond its culinary benefits, adds a meaningful dose of bioactive compounds to any meal that includes it — making the professional cook’s instinct toward acid a nutritional benefit as well as a flavor one.
