The Ingredient You'll Never Find in Martha Stewart's Recipes
The Ingredient You'll Never Find in Martha Stewart's Recipes originally appeared on Parade. For years, Martha Stewart has been sharing her genius recipes and whip-smart cooking tips. Three of our favorites? Her easiest one-pot pasta, the genius hacks for her mom's coffee cake recipe and how to use olive oil on a budget. On her website, Martha has even shared an extensive list of the essential pantry ingredients every home cook needs. There's a lot on the lineup, which makes you think there's nothing missing, but there's one ingredient Martha avoids at all costs. 'Oh, I would never use truffle oil, oh never," the culinary figure told the Today Show back in 2018. And in a separate Reddit Ask Me Anything session, Martha replied to one commenter, saying that truffle oil "doesn't belong in anyone's kitchen." Let's unpack Martha's feelings about this pungent condiment, shall we? Related: I'm Martha Stewart. Ask me almost anything! It's a good thing. by u/ThisIsMarthaStewart in IAmA What is Truffle Oil? For the uninitiated, truffle oil is olive oil infused with truffles, a member of the fungi family. Truffles are revered by fans for their woodsy, earthy, umami-packed flavor and a musky aroma that's hard to compare to anything else. Home cooks often use truffle oil in sauces and to finish pastas and soups. But for every truffle oil fan, there's a hater, which makes it a true love-it-or-hate-it delicacy. And Martha is definitely in the hate-it camp. Related: 😋😋SIGN UP to get delicious recipes, handy kitchen hacks & more in our daily Pop Kitchen newsletter🍳🍔 Why Does Martha Stewart Hate Truffle Oil? 'It's bad," Stewart told the Today Show. "They've done many studies on truffle oil. It's synthetic, it's fake, it's horrible. It clings to your taste buds. It's a hideous thing. Forget truffle oil.' Before you start wondering if Martha is being overly dramatic, you should know that while real truffle oil is certainly available, a vast percentage of commercially produced truffle oils are made with synthetic flavorings. Truffles are extremely expensive and hard to harvest, but synthetic truffle flavoring can be manufactured on a dime and many say it provides a close-enough flavor to that of real truffles. Of course, that doesn't fly with some purists, including Martha, but also chef Gordon Ramsay, who called it "pungent and overrated" in an episode of Hot Ones. Related: What's the Best Way to Use Truffle Oil? We know that Martha isn't going to be using truffle oil anytime soon, but if all this truffle oil talk has made you curious about the ingredient, there are a few things to keep in mind. First, according to America's Test Kitchen, seeing the word "natural" on the label doesn't really mean that the oil is made with real truffles. The USDA doesn't regulate the term "natural," unless the word appears on the packaging for meat and poultry. If you're able to get a sample of a truffle oil before fully committing, try to do that. Once you have your truffle oil home, make sure to use it as a finishing oil by adding a small drizzle or droplets over dishes to elevate them with a subtle, savory, earthy pop. The truffle flavor will be compromised if the oil is exposed to high heat, so you should avoid using it as a cooking Ingredient You'll Never Find in Martha Stewart's Recipes first appeared on Parade on Jul 1, 2025 This story was originally reported by Parade on Jul 1, 2025, where it first appeared.

Adam Levine Reveals How Blake Shelton Pranked Him When He Was First Dating Wife Behati Prinsloo
When Adam Levine first started dating his now-wife, model Behati Prinsloo, he wanted to woo her with a special present. So, he enlisted the help of his The Voice costar, Blake Shelton — rookie mistake. While serving as the guest on the Thursday (July 3) episode of Hot Ones, the Maroon 5 frontman revealed how the country star hilariously pranked him early on in his relationship with Prinsloo. 'My now-wife, then brand-new girlfriend, she said she really wanted a teacup pig,' Levine told host Sean Evans. More from Billboard Adam Levine Confirms New Maroon 5 Album, Single & Tour on 'Tonight Show': 'The Rumors Are Correct' Avril Lavigne and Simple Plan Cover Blink-182's 'All The Small Things' at Festival d'été de Québec Kesha Is Finally Free on First Independent Album 'Period': Stream It Now 'And I didn't know what that was, but of course, the first person I would ask …,' he continued, referencing Shelton's farming background. 'So, I asked Blake, I'm like, 'What's a teacup pig?' He's like, 'I'll get you a teacup pig. Yeah, give me five grand.'' Levine handed over the money, emphasizing to Shelton that he wanted a pig that would stay small and not grow to the size of a normal pig. Shelton returned with a piglet that the 'Moves Like Jagger' singer then gifted to Prinsloo, but the setup 'probably lasted like three weeks' before the couple got tired of the pig's incessant squeals and gifted it to a little girl. When that girl sent them photos of the pig six months later, revealing that it had grown to be 'like, 400 pounds,' Levine says he realized that Shelton had knowingly given him a standard pig — not a 'teacup' pig as he'd asked. 'I'm just like, 'Blake, bro, $5,000 for a pig that wasn't a micro pig?'' Levine recalled, laughing. 'And he's like, 'You're an idiot! There's no such thing as f–king teacup pigs you dumba–!'' Levine continued. 'So that was a pretty good prank that he played on me.' The 'God's Country' singer and Levine served as coaches together on The Voice for 16 seasons, starting when the show first debuted in 2011, and pranked each other often on the NBC competition. Luckily, Shelton's piggy prank didn't impact Levine's relationship; the Maroon 5 singer and Prinsloo would go on to tie the knot in 2014 and welcome three children together in the years after that. As his kids are growing up, Levine — who will drop new album Love Is Like with his Maroon 5 bandmates in August — is now having fun coaching their youth basketball team. 'My worst quality [as a coach] is I get hotheaded,' he told Evans. 'And these kids are children. They're eight years old. But when the refs are sleeping, man, I'm like, 'Come on!'' Speaking of being hotheaded, Levine definitely felt the heat on Hot Ones. He started by warning viewers that he gets 'really deep sweat' under his eyes — 'That's going to be really attractive to share with everybody,' he quipped — many bites of chicken after which he started perspiring profusely from his lower lids, dabbing at them furiously with his napkin. 'Here it comes,' he said, gesturing to his face shortly after trying a bit of the absurdly spicy Da' Bomb hot sauce. Watch Levine's full Hot Ones episode above.

Prince hid in a bush to speak to Nicole Scherzinger
Prince once hid in a bush to speak to Nicole Scherzinger without being seen. The former Pussycat Dolls singer considered the late Purple Rain hitmaker - who died in April 2016 aged 57 following an accidental overdose - a friend and mentor, and she will never forget a time she and her friends had gone to Las Vegas to see him in concert, only for him to surprise the group before the show by trying to attract his pal's attention without being spotted. Speaking on Hot Ones, Nicole told host Sean evans: "He's got his show in Vegas, and I'm bringing my girlfriends, and we're super excited to see the show and to see him perform and support him. "We're out by this pool at this hotel. Me and my girlfriends are like, 'This is awesome! The sun is shining, we get to see Prince tonight in concert — it's gonna be magical.' "And me and my friends are talking and then we hear a psst, psst "And we see this bush kind of moving. We hear psst, psst!' And I'll be damned, Prince was hiding behind the bush trying to get my attention. I don't know why!" Nicole recalled Prince looked fabulous iin "full shoulder pads" and high-heeled shoes. She added: "It was like noon. Fully dressed, looked amazing. Just Prince-ing it up, heels and all." The Tony Award-winning star credited Prince for her hugely successful theatre career after some advice he gave her when he went to see her perform in the 2014 revival of Cats in London's West End. She said: "I wouldn't be here, Sean, without him. "He actually came to see me in Cats and he was like, 'You are an analog singer — you're not a digital singer. Your voice is too big, and you need to do music that's big enough for your voice. And this is your stage, Nicole.' " When Prince passed away, Nicole hailed the Raspberry Beret singer as the "most phenomenal human I've ever been blessed to know." She wrote at the time: "One cannot put into words the godly talent, power, and magic he possessed — both on and off the stage. "The world will remember him as the legendary musician, humanitarian, and activist who united people through the universal language of music. But I will remember him as my dear friend, a brother, mentor, and my inspiration … Though you are no longer with us, your legacy remains forever."

Maria Sharapova is reduced to TEARS by brutal hot wings challenge - as tennis legend opens up on her notorious grunting habit
Tennis legend Maria Sharapova was reduced to tears as she took on a hot wing-eating challenge while featuring on YouTube talk show Hot Ones. The career Grand Slam champion retired at the start of 2020, focusing full-time on her business interests, such as her board role with fashion brand Moncler, and investments in UFC, and Clio Snacks. But Sharapova has recently returned to the tennis circuit, taking in this year's Wimbledon Championships as an ambassador for Stella Artois' Perfect Serve campaign in partnership with the SW19 tournament. The 38-year-old appeared alongside the brand's fellow ambassador David Beckham, pouring pints at the summit of Henman Hill, before both sporting superstars took in the tennis on Centre Court. Her latest press appearance was a more uncomfortable one, however, with Sharapova a guest on Sean Evans' famously challenging online programme. A number of previous guests including Jennifer Lawrence and Margot Robbie have succumbed tearfully to the heat of the wings offered to guests as they answer questions. And Sharapova warned Evans ahead of time that she was unlikely to 'cry elegantly' like the latter interviewee. While making her way through trialing the warm-up hot sauces, Sharapova shed some light on her infamous on-court grunting. The former Wimbledon champion was a notoriously loud competitor during her playing career, but Sharapova stressed that she hadn't sought to amplify her natural exertion sounds to torment her opponents. 'I want to say it's an intimidation factor, but that would be a lie,' Sharapova admitted. 'It was something that I started doing at a young age, and it just clicked and I kept it up and it got louder and louder. 'But it might get louder with these wings The heat began to tell for Sharapova as she asked Evans how it was possible that he was able to continue questioning her as they made their way through the array of chicken wings. The Russian star was later taken to the limit by a particularly spicy wing as Evans continued to fire questions at her despite her visible discomfort, as per the show's premise. 'In doubles, would you rather be partnered with a cherry-picker or a poacher?' Evans asked as Sharapova dabbed her streaming eyes with a napkin. 'What the f*** is a cherry-picker?' Sharapova said, before questioning: 'Can I swear on this show?' Sniffing, Sharapova struggled to continue the interview, eventually sharing that she would prefer a partner who was a 'cherry-picker'. During her playing career, Sharapova won three doubles titles, but with her focus squarely on singles, she could only rank as high as 41 in the standings. Sharapova's retirement five years ago came against the backdrop of persistent injury complaints upon her return to tour after serving a 15-month doping suspension. The player had failed a test undertaken at the 2016 Australian, with her sample returning a positive result for recently banned substance meldonium. That June, she received a two-year sanction for her usage of the heart medication, but months later saw her sentence reduced after it was revealed that her doctor had prescribed the substance to her. Sharapova was deemed to have the 'good faith belief that it was appropriate and compliant with the relevant rules'.
