In the Kitchen

<img src="http://www.chatelaine.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/Triple-Tested.png" style="float:left;padding-right:4px;width:120px;"><strong>Welcome to The Chatelaine Kitchen.</strong>
 
What is triple-tested? Our Food Team creates, develops and tests every recipe at least three times (sometimes more!) to make sure it’s delicious and foolproof. We also make sure it’s easy to follow and shop for. Our professional testers weigh all the ingredients for nutritional analysis, verify how long it takes to prep and cook each recipe and check if it can be made ahead. We re-taste and adjust as needed. To confirm results in different kitchens, recipes are also tested at home — by us or by you. Sign up to be a home tester: testing@chatelaine.com

Have you tried pseudo grains? These superfood seeds are high in protein, fibre,low-glycemic carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals, plus they are alkaline forming and gluten free. If you haven't tried them yet, use quinoa, buckwheat, wild rice, teff and amaranth in your side dishes, cereals, loaves, muffins and pilafs.
