I love hosting dinner parties, but I hate host anxiety. To combat this, Im always looking out for beautiful, impressive recipes that are secretly simple. What is glaceed fruit?

Small batch desserts are the way to go if youre tired of preserving leftovers on a daily basis. This process is called tempering. While the pudding cools, whip together a quick fruit compote with seasonal berries or stone fruit. I used cherries because mine were overripe and beginning to feel like mini water balloons....

On a recent vacation, I stayed in two different hotels. There was a dual cable machine, dumbbells up to 75 pounds, competition sized kettlebells(! Ill still check out the gym before I arrive.
