Tomato Caesar-esque Salad
6. Add the basil and transfer the salad to a bowl or platter. Garnish with extra anchovies, Parmesan, and a generous sprinkle of pepper. 4. Finely chop the anchovies, mashing them with the side of the knife, until they form a paste. Transfer to another bowl. Whisk in the lemon juice, mustard, Worcestershire, vinegar, garlic, 1/2 cup Parmesan, and a generous sprinkle of pepper. Whisk in the olive oil. 3. In a bowl large enough to hold all the ingredients, toss the tomatoes gently with a generous pinch of salt. Let them sit for 5 minutes. 2. Tear or cut the bread into 1-inch pieces. Spread them on the baking sheet. Sprinkle them with a small spoonful of oil from the can of anchovies. Add a sprinkle of olive oil and toss well. Spread in one layer. Transfer to the oven and bake for 15 minutes, turning once or twice, or until they are golden and crisp. If the bread is very fresh or dense, toasting may take up to 5 minutes longer. From the cookbook ''Craveable: All I Want to Eat'' by London-based Seema Pankhania, who cooked in one of celebrity chef Gordon Ramsey's restaurants, this divine salad is loaded with anchovies. If you love them, you'll go crazy. ''Think of it like panzanella meets Caesar salad,'' writes Pankhania. First toast torn-up crusty bread to make big croutons, then toss them with ripe tomatoes, Parmesan, and an anchovy dressing. Add basil, more anchovies, and more Parmesan before serving. The croutons soak up the dressing and honestly, you can't get enough of them. Pankhania adds bacon and says to skip anchovies if you don't like them, but they do make the dish. If you've ever wondered what the word ''umami'' means, this salad has it in spades.

How to Cook Your Way Out of These Common Kitchen Mistakes
It happened again; I suffered a kitchen disaster. Boy, do I hate when that happens! This time, I ruined an entire pot of pasta because I got busy and was not paying attention. By the time I realized, the pasta had cooked beyond al dente all the way to al mushe. I could barely make out the pasta shape! It killed me to dump the whole thing and start over, but there was no way to undo that disaster—it was that far gone! Thankfully, that's not true for every cooking mistake. Here is a list you're going to want to keep handy just in case. Sticky Pasta When the pasta is not totally mush but all stuck together as if by glue, drain and cool immediately. Then return the pasta to a sauté pan, add a tablespoon of olive oil and toss while reheating. That should take care of the stickiness, while no one is the wiser. Too Much Salt It's a common cooking mistake. If you've added far too much salt to a sauce or soup and you have enough ingredients, double the recipe or make more by half. Then mix it in with the salty batch a bit at a time until you've reached your desired flavor. Another trick is to add a bit more unsalted water to the mix, provided this will not also dilute the flavor. Burnt Toast Don't toss it until you've tried this neat trick: Use your cheese grater to quickly scrape off the burned layer. Works like magic! Other options: Scrape off the worst, brush with olive oil, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and present as crostini or use for croutons. Stale Rolls Wet your fingers and generously flick some water on the rolls. Then wrap in foil and heat in the oven at 250 degrees F for 10 minutes. Undercooked Cake The first sign of a cake that's not done is that sinkhole in the middle. Once cooled, you cannot rebake it. But don't worry; this is not a hopeless kitchen disaster. Break the cooled cake into pieces (even those parts that are undercooked) and layer them with whipped cream and fresh fruit to make dessert parfaits or one large trifle. Perfect! Overcooked Vegetables If you've overcooked broccoli, asparagus, or similar vegetables, don't despair. Tweak your menu a bit to include creamed vegetable soup. Purée the vegetables in the blender, pour in a bit of heavy cream, check the seasoning, and add salt and pepper as needed. There! Cooking mistake averted. Overcharred Beef You can totally spin this disaster by rubbing the beef with a mixture of garlic, ground black pepper, and chili powder, presenting it as 'blackened.'

Costco Fans Say This Kirkland Product Is Their 'Holy Grail'
It's a deli MVP. Costco remains one of our favorite grocery stores, thanks to its bulk options and affordable prices, and of course, the free samples. With tasty prepared meals and that signature rotisserie chicken, there are so many items that keep shoppers coming back. The bakery is home to viral cakes and treats that are perfect for hosting. You can also find a ton of snacks such as chocolate-drizzled popcorn and pickle-flavored potato chips. And don't get us started on the food court, which is home to classics like freshly baked pizzas or that iconic hot dog combo. Costco members don't hold back on their opinions, especially on Reddit. In a recent thread, shoppers discussed their must-buy products from the warehouse, and one surprising product came out on top. Costco's Kirkland Signature Coastal Cheddar Cheese Last week, Redditor @valhalla_la asked the Costco subreddit, "What is your holy grail Costco item?" And dozens of Redditors gushed about one specific deli find: Kirkland Signature Coastal Cheddar Cheese. It's not your average Cheddar, though. The Kirkland Signature product is an English Cheddar, and if you're wondering what makes this cheese special, it's all in the aging and texture. Each block is aged for up to 15 months, allowing the flavor to intensify over time. The cheese also has a unique texture due to calcium lactate crystals, which develop during the aging process. One Redditor described it as a cross between Cheddar and Parmesan, with another fan adding, "Love the little crunchies in it." The thread continued with so much cheesy hype. One shopper raved about their love of the Cheddar, saying, "I am obsessed with the Kirkland Coastal Cheddar and have replaced all other cheeses in my life." Another fan mentioned their dismay over the cheese being out of stock, sharing, "My Costco hasn't had the Coastal Cheddar in over a year. It's been devastating for my family." Next time you make a Costco trip, grab a block to use in your favorite cheesy recipes. Whether you grate it or crumble it, this Cheddar lends itself beautifully to a variety of uses. Use it to put together a stunning charcuterie board. Or add it to a comforting pot of macaroni and cheese or a classic grilled cheese. No matter how you use it, this cheesy buy is sure to become a favorite. Read the original article on ALLRECIPES Solve the daily Crossword
