Video: How to Make Peanut Brittle
This classic is some of the easiest candy to make, and the pay-off is unbeatable! This basic brittle uses peanuts, but you can substitute any nuts, especially roughly chopped almonds, cashews, or macadamia nuts, or even sesame seeds, pepitas, or oats. Add smoked sea salt or cocoa nibs for a little something special.

Mushroom Tortelli with Parsley Sauce
Use whichever mushrooms you prefer for this dish. Experiment with different varieties to see how they change the flavor profile of the filling.

Preparing Fresh Garden Peas
Garden peas are one of the great treasures of springtime. When you find them in the market, feature them in a dish with fresh favas or asparagus, which are in season at the same time. If you are lucky enough to grow your own or have access to farm fresh pods, you can shell and store peas to use year-round.
