Of all the annoying traits a person can have, not coming to the table when they say they will is one of the worst. That happens constantly at my house. When I do the cooking I’ll let everyone know when the food is ready, and they’ll say they are coming. Then I’ll toss the salad and take it to the table, and no one will be there. Either something came up with work, or someone is dawdling, or someone has almost defeated the boss in their video game, and I’m stuck standing at the table in a panic shouting, “You don’t understand, I dressed the salad! I dressed the salad!”

Last year, I quit my day job to spend six months traveling across Europe while freelancing. (Read: How Cutting My Food Budget Helped Me Quit My Full-Time Job.) In the weeks before my departure, I hit discount stores to assemble a kitchen survival kit for life on the road. With all the uncertainties, I knew cooking would be a grounding activity. I also knew I’d need to save money instead of eating out all the time.

Before I left, I packed a one-gallon zip-top bag with a mini chef’s knife, a corkscrew, a sandwich box, spoon and fork, and a microwave egg cooker. I threw the bag in my checked luggage and headed on my way. By the end of the trip, only the chef’s knife and egg cooker remained. Turns out, the other items were not necessary. The egg cooker, however, was a life-saver.

Ann Mah, a D.C.-based writer and author of the novel The Lost Vintage, tends to move around a lot because of her husband’s job as a diplomat. They spent four years in Paris, and bought a small apartment there to have as a home base —which means that now she spends each summer there with her 4-year-old daughter. She also happens to be a friend of Kitchn (and you should check her work out here).

We asked Ann how her eating habits differ in Paris, and whether (with all that delicious wine and cheese) there’s anything she actually misses from American grocery stores.

If you’re into making your own household cleaners, you’re going to need a spray bottle. Whether you’re a fan of vinegar, a Castile soap mixture, or something else, having a way to distribute your solution in a convenient way is key. Enter: the spray bottle. A sturdy, medium-sized spray bottle gives you a vessel to mix up as much cleaning solution as you need and easily use it through your home.

Finding the right one is tricky, though. First of all, size matters. Too small, and you’ll be mixing up solutions again and again. Too big, and it becomes unwieldy to use. And while there are plenty of plastic options out there, a glass bottle is often preferable for its resistance to chemicals and corrosion.

With that, we bring you our favorite spray bottle, which also happens to be a top-rated option on Amazon.

For a fun, easy twist on chicken marsala, give boneless pork chops a try for dinner instead. When cooked in a bit of browned butter and then simmered in a glossy sauce rich with golden-brown mushrooms and sweet marsala wine, these pork chops can make dinner just a tad more elegant.

Whenever we had chicken cutlets for dinner when I was growing up, my mom would eat them so fast that she’d get the hiccups. On the off-chance that there were leftovers, we’d turn the cutlets into personal chicken Parms, wedge them into sliced hunks of Italian bread, or dice them up and throw them on top of salads to add a little somethin’ somethin’. If they weren’t on the menu at home, we’d head to Frankie’s Deli down the block to order a #5: a giant hero stuffed with fresh mozzarella, roasted red peppers, balsamic vinegar, and, of course, a big chicken cutlet.

My husband and I love a good documentary, and there is no shortage of nutrition-based films these days. When we first saw the film, “Food Matters,” it was an eye-opening experience. Whether individuals were aiming to reduce inflammation or overcome cancer, the words “alkaline” and “acidic” kept popping up. We all remember discussing pH in chemistry […]
