Come on in 'The Kitchn'

Posted by Erin Zimmer, January 29, 2009 at 4:15 PM

Each week we round up our favorite posts and recipes from our friends at The Kitchn.

This week, the Kitchn debunks the assumption that a cocktail grapefruit is just a normal grapefruit. A little smaller and more lemon-looking inside, it's actually a cross between a mandarin and a pomelo.

Also on the Kitchn, making a taco bar for your Super Bowl party, hot sake cocktails, how to core brussels sprouts, and recipes for the Candida Diet.

• Superbowl Parties: Taco Bar: So much better than a salad bar. Line up the Crock Potted meats, chopped onions, sliced radishes, cabbage shreds, avocado and chunky salsa. Your friends will think you're the coolest.
• Warming Winter Beverage: Hot Sake: Hot toddys, beware. There's a new cat on the nightcap scene. Yes, sake can go into the microwave too.
• Tip: Core Brussels Sprouts With a Vegetable Peeler: The mini cabbage balls have the same tough core as normal-sized cabbage, but using the same big knife can be dangerous. Try a paring knife instead.
• Good Question: Foods for the Candida Diet? What can you make without sugar, dairy (though goat's milk is okay), soy, and yeasty foods like bread? Not a whole lot, but Candida dieters still have a few options.
