4 things our food editors love this month (October 2014)
Fixing kitchen clutter
Join us as begin our fist ever Kitchen Fix, a month-long program to help you get your kitchen ready for the busy holiday season. With two to three manageable tasks per week, we’ll be with you every step of the way, providing tricks, tips and our favourite recipes. Share your progress with us using the hashtag #kitchenfix and sign up to our Daily Fix Newsletter to get new assignment alerts.
Get started with our first task, purging the pantry, fridge and freezer.
Local cider
This tart, thirst-quenching cider is made with just one ingredient: juicy Ontario apples. Not too sweet, and with a gentle fizz, it's the sip we can't get enough of.
Brickworks cider, $3.10, Brickworks Ciderhouse.
Genius gadget
Mashed potatoes gluey or lumpy? It helps to start with the right potatoes (russets or Yukon Golds are best), but it's the masher that makes all the difference. This genius little gadget doles out perfectly smooth and creamy spuds every time.
Good grips potato ricer, $40, OXO.
Fun treat
What could be more delightful than a hand-held pie? Cinnamon pastry and a light glaze make these pumpkin hand pies our new fall fave – but the variations are endless (and we won't tell if you have one for breakfast).
