  • 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!

Why Your Fried Food Never Tastes Like the Restaurant’s

The type of oil used for frying significantly affects its nutritional impact. Oils with high smoke points and stable fat profiles — such as avocado oil and refined coconut oil — oxidize less during high-heat cooking than oils like vegetable or corn oil, producing fewer harmful compounds. Maintaining proper frying temperature also reduces oil absorption into food, making correctly fried food less oily than food fried at too-low a temperature.
