How to prevent and treat common injuries No images? Click here With shelter-in-place orders still in effect in many parts of the country, people are cooking at home more than before. More prep and the potential of small children or pets underfoot means that accidents are bound to happen. Below, we've pulled together some tips on how to minimize mishaps in your home kitchen, and what to do when they occur. Consider these your guides to kitchen safety, no matter your skill level. It’s better to avoid accidents than worry about how or when to rush to the emergency room. We’ve collected all of our best advice for avoiding injury, from learning how to hold a knife, avoiding burns, or injuring someone else. We turned to Laurel Cudden, founder and owner of Grade-A Safety, and Mitch Cynamon, the owner of Initiate Care, who both advise restaurant clients on kitchen first aid, for their advice. We also spoke with Dr. David Baskin, a New York-based internist, to confirm at-home treatments and to understand when it’s a good idea to seek professional medical care at an urgent care clinic, and when to head to the ER. How Not to Light Your Kitchen on FireIn under a minute, a kitchen fire can grow to an inferno beyond your control. That's why you need to be prepared. We talk to an FDNY lieutenant to learn the ins and outs of fire safety in the kitchen. |

Join us for dinner and a movie
From our series with A24 Films No images? Click here Dinner and a MovieDinner and a movie? No, we're not asking you on a date (sorry!). We're here to catch you up on our latest partnership with A24. We've all been finding ourselves with extra time these days, and that time is often spent getting cozy, watching movies, and eating. So, we created some delicious themed menus to pair with seven of A24's most popular films. You'll find a Chinese feast for the 2019 film The Farewell, a surf and turf extravaganza for The Lighthouse, and a full Swedish spread to enjoy while watching Midsommar. Check out the menus below—and enjoy the show! Food plays an essential role in Lulu Wang’s semi-autobiographical film. Enjoy a full Chinese feast that includes dumplings, egg drop soup, and more. A Passover seder menu that will certainly be more enjoyable than the one featured in the film. Eggs, bacon, pancakes, and ice cream for dessert! A meal for your inner child. The psychodrama calls for lobster, steak, and a cocktail aptly named The Suffering Bastard. The menu includes a "Chef’s Special," pollo a la plancha to eat alongside the Academy Award winning film. For those brave enough to eat while watching, you'll find gravlax, meatballs, and a golden olive oil cake on the menu. The title might as well be "Dude, Where's My Food?" as Ramy explores his spiritual and culinary identity as an Egyptian American. Make ful medames, baba ganoush, and fresh pita. |

Kid-friendly Mother's Day brunch ideas
Get the whole family involved No images? Click here Kid-Friendly Recipes for a Mother's Day Brunch at HomeYou probably won't be going out to a restaurant this Mother's Day, but that just means it's a perfect excuse to make brunch for Mom at home. This set of recipes—including standards like French toast, vanilla-scented waffles, plush pancakes, fluffy scrambled eggs, and crispy bacon—was compiled with an eye for simplicity. Many of these main courses, sweets, and sides, like the coffee cake and cinnamon rolls, come together easily in one bowl, making them ideal projects to tackle with kids. Others, like the cream biscuits, scrambled eggs, and banana-peanut butter oatmeal, can be cooked and on the table in under 30 minutes, so they're perfect for lazy, sleepy weekend mornings. Eggs en cocotte with tomatoes and goat cheese and the German apple pancake might sound and look fancy, but they're composed of techniques that even a toddler can help with. A little bit of planning ahead will ensure brunch is on the table and ready for Mom next Sunday morning—whether she likes to sleep in or not. |
